Missing initial files/permissions issues on install
Hello! Having issues running
bash blueprint.sh
inside the pterodactyl folder.
Pterodactyl version: 1.11.5
Steps I've taken:
- Download zip
- Unzip to /var/www/pterodactyl
- Run chmox +x blueprint.sh (inside pterodactyl folder)
- Run bash blueprint.sh (inside pterodactyl folder)
Result:
A few lines of the similar to the below, and then the below
After creating logs.txt
and the public/assets/extensions
folder manually, running bash blueprint.sh
gives a load of permissions issues even when pterodactyl is already owned by www-data
. (I have also tried chown
as current user).
Running sudo bash blueprint.sh
(which I'd prefer to not have to do) does get me further, and installs, however I then get the following (full section attached as text and image):
As well as some extras.
Ultimately ends with
[SUCCESS] Blueprint has finished it's installation process.

missing dependencies?
I usually run Blueprint as root, which is not that safe but it does usually make it run better. If it tries to navigate to a directory that does not exist, it will halt to prevent data loss.
Either way, try running
blueprint -upgrade
as root if you are comfortable doing so, because it might fix some things.Initial issues running as root (no such file or directory etc.)


Excuse the poor console, don't have SSH enabled for root
Insanely weird, could you show an "ls -a" for the Pterodactyl directory?
"su -" for root
Windows: reboot
Linux: be root
Yeah, I thought I'd lost and forgot the root password but have just figured it out lol

Blueprint's folder is missing.
weird
but "tools" exists, which is also from blueprint
blueprint re-run-install
Yep. The folder obviously exists in the zip also
not really useful in this case
It's
blueprint -rerun-install
and I have doneyeah it's just rerunning the "bash blueprint.sh" thing
could you try manually copying the blueprint folder from the zip file?
Sure, what command should I run after?
blueprint -rerun-install
to test if asset building fails and stuff
initial issues before asking if I want to migrate the database is again, no logs.txt file

Same issue
The new section in the UI is showing though
i think that issue in red is related to dependencies
might be best to rm the node modules folder and run "yarn install"
either way i'm gonna have to sleep now
embed perms are done on a per-member basis lol
No worries, really appreciate the support still
alrighty

If you only have pterodactyl and nothing else, like add-ons. It may be worth backing up your pterodactyl installation and "updating" the panel using the update docs
I had it working, although after then installing Nebula, the UI wouldn't load correctly. After removing Nebula, the UI would just give a white page, and it was an empty view that was served 🤷♂️ .
I've started from a fresh install of Pterodactyl and seeing how this goes
Yeah, currently doing that 🙂, although instead of just updating, doing a bit of a "soft" reinstall
I can provide more details if necessary, but with a fresh install of Pterodactyl, I've still had to do the following things to get Blueprint working:
And for Nebula:
All seems to be working okay now.
