You’ll have to go to your terminal window, and ping any website.

If you’re connected, your ping will return the appropriate results, else it’ll give you an error.

Step 4: After the app is created, note the app key and app secret and enter in sites/{sitename}/site_config.json as follows,

{
“db_name”: “demo”,
“db_password”: “DZ1Idd55xJ9qvkHvUH”,
“dropbox_access_key”: “ACCESSKEY”,
“dropbox_secret_key”: “SECRECTKEY”
}

@mahmoud

Those values are examples, you need to enter the correct values in the file:

 /home/{username where frappe is installed}/frappe-bench/sites/site1.local/site_config.json

Although IMO, you shouldn’t be messing around on terminal if you don’t know how to use it.
