Bench backup issue after changing site.local to example.com

Install / Update Setup
1

I have changed site name from default (site1.local) to some random name like example.com with all configuration needed and site works fine with that domain name.

But when i am trying to run backup using “bench backup --with-files” its showing me below errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Renaming the site from site.example.com to site1.local resolved that issue but i need to make the site as example.com to correct sales order showing that site.local links and to make custom name.

Could someone suggest me how i can do this ?

Add a host_name property to site_config.json and set it to the domain you want to use

Eg :

"host_name":example.com

3

I have already tried that modification by adding hostname entry to point to my domain and restart nginx and bench processes but its still not works.

4

Try running bench setup nginx and see if that works?

5

Shouldn’t cause problems. Check if site_config.json exists at sites/example.com/site_config.json

@vjFaLk @anand,

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried “bench setup nginx” command and it works with no error, but i am still facing same error using “bench backup --with-files”

@anand, yes i have site_config.json with “host_name”:“example.com” configuration and backup works fine if i renamed it back to site.local.
