Hello,

I am running into an Nginx configuration error on a Pterodactyl panel using an Nginx/PHP-FPM Egg. Although the startup script seems to run successfully, Nginx fails to load the configuration file, preventing the web server from starting correctly.

Error Details
The Pterodactyl Daemon and the start.sh script execute without apparent issues, but the Nginx check immediately fails afterwards.

Terminal Output:
