Seems issue with site_config.json

Please check db_name in site_config.json

@saurabh6790 there is no problem in the db_name or db password as the system is working and we are adding details on daily basis…

Finally figured it out…

the problem was that i didnt use any site in bench, to solve it i just typed:

bench use **sitename**

then tried again and it was solved…
