remove the old encryption key the system will generate the new encryption key in site_config.json automatically
was able to fix this issue, after configuring the email account. We may close this thread.
Thank you for your help in solving this.
How can i fix this issue using vm ?
For all password reset and related activities, ERPnext uses smtp configuration to send the notification email to user. If this is not configured, ERPnext will be showing encryption key error on site_config.json.
Once you configure the email account you will be able to resolve the issue.
How to remove?
Hello,
If this is about the encryption key all you have to do is go to your frappe/sites/your_site folder, open site_config.json and remove "encryption_key" : "the_encryption_key" from the file.
Save the file and restart your bench.
Regards,
Hera
