Nginx start issue in production mode

Hi

I recently upgraded to version 12 and migrated my custom app. Everything worked well in developer mode, and I was able to use my custom site via the browser as expected. As soon as I switched to production mode I started experiencing issues with the web server (nginx). When I switch to production using:

sudo bench setup production

, I get the following output and errors:

frappe@ip-10-0-0-74:~/frappe-bench$ sudo bench setup production frappe

If try and restart nginx, I get the following output:

frappe@ip-10-0-0-74:~/frappe-bench$ sudo service nginx restart Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

and when checking the status of the service, I get:

frappe@ip-10-0-0-74:~/frappe-bench$ systemctl status nginx.service ● nginx.service - A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2019-10-07 10:57:16 UTC; 1min 48s ago Docs: man:nginx(8) Process: 5143 ExecStop=/sbin/start-stop-daemon --quiet --stop --retry QUIT/5 --pidfile /run/nginx.pid (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 5044 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nginx -g daemon on; master_process on; (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 5269 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/nginx -t -q -g daemon on; master_process on; (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 5048 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

I’m going around in circles with this and have not found a resolution. Any help to resolve it would be appreciated.

You seem to have two sites here - you need to identify which one is valid and best delete references to the one that is superfluous?

Thanks for the replies.

I tried the following:

 sudo unlink /etc/nginx/conf.d/frappe-bench.conf
 bench setup nginx
 sudo service nginx start
 bench use iams.logikal

The service now appears to start ok, and I can acces the default-generated erpnext web page (on port 80), but cannot access my custom site (at the assigned port 8001; I get a connection timeout after about a minute)

clarkej, I thought I could have a multitenant configuration, as per these instructions? Is that not the case? If not what do I need to do to restrict production to my custom site only.

A closed port or firewall may explain your timeout issue.

Inspect frappe-bench/logs/* and /var/log/nginx/* to identify what is going on.

Bingo!

Thanks clakej! That’s exactly it. The port was blocked.

R.

Hurray I shy away from multitenant!

facing same problem. can you please help with solution.
