No i am using an installer script
installer scripts are unsupported
especially by the ptero help discord
That isn't supported by the developers of pterodactyl.
and installer scripts break things more often than not
especially when it's an unofficial one
If you have no experience with Linux administration, just pay for and install AMP.
I have a little
Ig i will try the original way
yes
that is a good idea
Server panels
A game server management panel that lets you manage your game server just through a website hosting your panel. Most hosting providers will have one but if you're self hosting or setting one up on a VPS you'll need to install one by yourself. Down below I'll list some choices but i encourage you to look into the subject yourself and choose one best for yourself
pterodactyl [linux]
PufferPanel [linux]
Multicraft [linux] [windows]
AMP [linux] [windows]
crafty [linux] [windows] [mac] (uses python)

Its what i am trying to do rn
And if i put multiple commands inside a .sh file does it run a command wait and run the next command or runs all of them at the same time?
!try or google it
You should try it and see. :) https://tryitands.ee/
mariadb -u root -p command doesn't work and the
mysql -u root -p
Help
what do you mean "it doesn't work"
preto has a discord i'd recommend asking there, you'll get a lot better help (as long as ur not using the script)
I am not using a script
then ask in their discord
-bash mariadb: command not found
did you install mariadb??
Yes i followed the documents untill the database configuration part
what's the output of
systemctl status mariadb
Unit mariadb.service could not be found
...
you didn't install mariadb
I followed the documents
well
you didn't
otherwise mariadb would be installed
did you follow this part?

were you running as root?
Its sudo -I for root right?
Did you read the output of that command
^
sudo su
A majority of issues people have is because they run commands and don't read what the commands do/did/tried to do
I read some of them
"some"
Yeah that's where it'll get you..
Being lazy will cause issues.
I did it again as root and still the mariadb -u root -p doesn't work
What is the console telling you
You're refusing to read or share what it's saying for other people to do the reading for you.
You're not gonna get far with these habits.
I said
bash: mariadb: command not found
.
what did running the mariadb install script tell you
also, if you haven't ran any of the other commands as root, it's likely it's all broken
So i really should run everything again as root i will come back when i finish
I would recommend you reinstall your OS
to start from fresh
but
up to you
I think i should do this but i will do it soon if it doesn't work i will backup what i need and try again
Finally mariadb works
What is egg author email? Do i nees to put my gmail there?
it's optional
if you are making eggs it's just the "contact email" so to say
but it doesn't really matter what you put
Oh
if you put a random email, it won't error
Ok
[email protected] ig
yup lol
It says in the example [email protected] lol
yeah
What do i put in application url?
if you don't have a domain, then it would be
http://PUBLIC_IP
e.g. http://123.123.123.123
without the / on the end
discord being annoyingSo wait 1 sec i am going to my router's panel to check my public ip
Now what do i put inside the cache driver? Redis memcached or file
redis
Oh forget about that they said redis
yeah
So session driver? Redis again? Or cookie or mysql database?
it says redis recommended no?
Oh
So i will just use redis for everything
yeah
[Note] you've selected the redis driver for one or more options, please provide a valid connection information below
What do i do here?
screenshot
but I believe there's a default
you can just click enter
and it should default to that
It worked
nice
Redis password?
Why
World
don't
put a password
Ok
Enter
yep
Redis port [6379]
Enter?
yeah
that's the default
Ok done next command
What do i do?

next part of the docs
which is the php artisan migrate part
oh
hold on
you specified the wrong timezone
rerun it, and specify the correct timezone from https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that powers everything from your blog to the most popular websites in the world.
?
Ok
-# it literally had this linked
Did i break it?

did you read?
!!!!!!!!!!!
it should look something like
America/Halifax
(example)
look at the link!!!!!!!!!!!Ok ok
So this
Etc/GMT+3
?
no...
if you actually look at the link I sent you
open it, and choose your region
then choose the timezone that is most suited to you
.
I looked
and where did you see Etc/GMT+3
lol
ah
I see
See

Please do not use any of the timezones listed here (besides UTC), they only exist for backward compatible reasons, and may expose erroneous behavior. Furthermore, these timezones may be removed from the IANA timezone database at any time.
Once again, it is strongly recommended that you use the correct time zone for your location, such as Asia/Shanghai or Australia/Perth for the above examples.
But its in the listðŸ˜
yes but you aren't reading
go look for an actual timezone that won't error
Like?
Just give me a random one
just
choose whatever region you are in
Its quite complicated
How is "pick the timezone of where you live" complicated
Brother
just choose a city that's near you
if you're that confused
Ok i found it do i just put its name? Its only the name in the list
It got only 1 timezone

try it
if it's in the "Other" section it likely won't work
But how can i change?
rerun the command
with the correct timezone
I can'tðŸ˜
why?
It broke

yes, run it again with a correct timezone then
I assume gmt+3 is in the Other category, which do not work
What don't you get when i rerun the command it shows this
was gmt+3 in the other section on that site
Yes
As I said before, anything in there won't work
you need to choose one from another category
from any of the ones inside these

It doesn't let me run any php artisan command now it just shows this
Ok i will keep my promise i am backing up everything i need and reinstalling the operating system
What operating system should i switch to?
why should you change operating system?
choose your region
If you don't see your city, choose one that is near you that you know of
There's no need to do this
You aren't specifying a correct timezone because you're using one from the Other category
You should be using a timezone from one of these categories (whichever is suitable for you)
I can't change it!!!!
choose a timezone that is similar to yours!
Ok tell me how to change it!!!
I told you it shows me this when i rerun it!!!!!!!
does it prompt you for a timezone?
when you run the command?
or does it immediately error
what a shitshow
@yairarbib if you aren't able to install this without someone holding your hand through it, you shouldn't install it
pufferpanel is a good alternative and it's very easy to install
Instantly errors
instantly ignored
well played lad!
nano /var/www/pterodactyl/.env
see what APP_TIMEZONE
says
should be near the topThx
Next problem:
Connection refused [tcp://127.0.0.1:6379]
^

bruh
I think i found a solution
Is redis running?
I salute your patience damn
@yairarbib started a very similar thread in the minehut discord and exhibited the same level of laziness and uncooperative behavior towards the people trying to help him
What? No i finished it its working
I just don't know the password
I think you should take a step back and do some reading online on the best ways to ask for help.
https://00.wtf/
https://dontasktoask.com
Overall:
don’t be lazy and read the output of commands you run. Share the output and what you tried to do, where you got stuck, and what specific issues you are having instead of getting others to do all the work for you
Seriously?
Please don't just say hello, ping, complain, ask empty questions or just make a ticket with no content - It doesn't help anyone!

read the docs, you have to make your own user
there's a simple command for it
Now i need to configure the wings first and i need the admin password which i forgot oh i did a randomly generated one how do i find it?
the admin password of what?
the pterodactyl account, or the superuser of the OS itself
I aint even helping and it's getting on my nerves :dead:
Is it the APP_KEY?
you lost the password for superuser?
Wait the super user is the machine's password?
try it
Ik the machine's password
I will try the app_key for the panel
why do you need the app_key
the app key is for pterodactyl
not the OS machine superuser
I need this:

even if you've already ran it, you can do it again
I think i broke it(i changed the app_key)
... why
this is why you always read the docs
It didn't say anything about where the random generated password is
Well i better start backing up what i need
And reset everything
Like its not even that hard to setup the panel
ptero doesnt do that?
the only thing that matters that automatically generates is the app key
so why don't you.. do it yourself?
