Setup Subdomain

[Francisco_Buendia]

Hello,

I get a VPS server and a domain at Bluehost, following this post:

How to install erpnext on my host + domain

Buy this: OVH VPS 3.49 per month Install Ubuntu 16.04. Wait for the e-mail from OVH. Download Putty http://www.putty.org/ Enter the server information into putty. How to use putty How to use Putty | Putty Fulll Tutorial | How to operate SSH with putty. - YouTube In the putty terminal follow this guide. yourname@testsystem:~$ apt-get update yourname@testsystem:~$apt-get upgrade yourname@testsystem:~$wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py sudo pyt…

ERPNext worked at this point:

I’ve created a subdomain at Bluehost and set as:

sibsa.oberpro.com.mx - TTL 14400 - Type A - IP 66.70.191.249
www.sibsa.oberpro.com.mx - TTL 14400 - Type A - IP 66.70.191.249

But then, following next steps:
frappe@testsystem:~$ cd frappe-bench/sites
frappe@testsystem:~/frappe-bench/sites$ mv site1.local sibsa.oberpro.com.mx
frappe@testsystem:~/frappe-bench/sites$ nano sibsa.oberpro.com.mx/site_config.json

{
 "db_name": "1bd3e0294da19198",
 "db_password": "************"
 "host_name": "http://www.sibsa.oberpro.com.mx"
}

The IP is no longer available…

Could anyone help me on this? I’m stuck since yesterday, I even reinstalled the VPS server

Erpnext did not have the magento plug in that I needed so I have not fully tested the software. I went with odoo 8.

If you would like for me to setup your vps with odoo I can do it for free. Just message me. God bless you.

[Francisco_Buendia]

I’ve made three ERPNext implementations at Frappe cloud. This is the first time I try to do it on a private server.

But thanks!

[Lewis_Seals]

OVH hosting is cheaper and one of the best in the world. Just pray and ask for the Lord’s help. It is a very easy process you may not be following it exactly as it was written.

It was a while ago but I cannot remember exactly what was done. Sorry, I can’t help. God bless you.

[Francisco_Buendia]

Finally I got it! The subdomain points to the IP server address.
Now, what could be causing “Sorry! We will be back soon”.
Any thought would be appreciated!

You need to run after renaming site

bench setup nginx
bench restart

Then access it at www.sibsa.oberpro.com.mx

@srajelli

bench setup nginx

@Francisco_Buendia

sibsa.oberpro.com.mx/site_config.json

I think you should use https in your domain in the file above. this is what i have used and mine works fine

You also may need a currentsite.txt in your sites folder with the hostname.

Hi @Francisco_Buendia

Did you get to resolve this. I seem to be facing a similar issue though the bench setup nginx command doesn’t give any errors

The “Sorry! We will be back soon” page is still showing up

Thanks

[Francisco_Buendia]

Hi,

Have you renamed the site folder?

/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites/ site1.local directory to sites www.domain.com
Note: ‘www.domain.com’ whatever your domain name be.

Have you point (rename) domain site1.local to www.domain.com, at “config\nginx.conf” and “site_config.json”? Check files at “/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites” VPS folders and replace every.

Then you can try:
bench setup nginx
sudo service nginx reload
sudo service nginx restart

Thanks @Francisco_Buendia

The issue has been resolved. It was actually from the domain settings

Kind regards,

[Wahito7]

Apologies, I am new developer here. I was wondering if I can install ERPNext in Bluehost hosting directly or do I have to get some cloud service like AWS?

[Muzzy]

You can install ERPNext on any Linux server which offers minimum 2 GB RAM and is KVM type. Keep away from OpenVZ.

Bluehost will not work.

Check out Contabo
Digital Ocean
Vultr
Google Cloud
AWS

Thanks!!!
