# 02a) Create URL for pt-panel

### Creation of the `pt-panel` URL

1. Head into your Cosmos Server web UI, under ServApps.
2. Find the `pt-stack` and select "**View Stack**"
3. Find the `pt-panel` container.
4. Under "**URLs**", select the `New (+)` button to create a new URL:

5. Go down to the "**Use Host**" field, and make sure it says the same, as you set it to in the `APP_URL` in the [Docker Compose example](https://guides.engels.zip/pterodactyl-setup/01-installing-pterodactyl/01a-the-docker-compose-example). In my case, it's `https://pt-panel.engels.zip`.

**Warning!** The URL you set here, must correspond to the one you set as `APP_URL` in the [Docker Compose example](https://guides.engels.zip/pterodactyl-setup/01-installing-pterodactyl/01a-the-docker-compose-example)
{% endhint %}

6. Select `Confirm` to create the URL.
7. You can press the `Refresh` button in Cosmos, if the URL doesn't show up immediately.

8. You can head to the URL you created, and it **should** load the initial Pterodactyl login page.
9. If it doesn't, go to the [Troubleshooting section](https://guides.engels.zip/troubleshooting) of this guide and see if there's anything there that can help.
