Hi all,
We’re excited to announce the release of Bench Manager, a GUI emulator of your command line utility, bench, built completely using frappé framework. This is the beta release of the app. You can use this to manage all your sites, apps and backups with ease.
Would really appreciate it, if you could give it a try and provide valuable feedback!
Hi, I just installed the Bench Manager and my default site has been disabled as i’m now getting internal server error. Do i set the bench manager as default site and if yes, do i restore my old site to the new site for it to come back on?
Hey,
Using bench use is not a good way to access the sites.
currentsite.txt (in the sites folder)./etc/hosts file and adding the site names to it. For example if you have two sites namely bench-manager.local and testing.site.one, you could add the following line to your /etc/hosts file127.0.0.1 bench-manager.local testing.site.one
bench-manager.local:8000/login and testing.site.one:8000/login respectively.Try the following and if the problem still persists, it would helpful if you could provide the error log from the terminal.
@codingCoffee unfortunately the recommendation didn’t work and this is so because my instance is hosted on AWS. so localhost will not work for me as i can only access the site using the public ip address on my VPC. I also opened my web.error.log and this is the last log entry after i installed the Bench Manager:

i can’t really tell if this error is a result of my installing Bench Manager or if it existed before. But i could access the site before the bench manager install.
Hi,
I “almost” succesfully installed Bench Manager, but every time I clic on Bench Settings, something goes wrong…
However I’m able to create new sites and update, apparently with no error.
This has been fixed, update bench manager and try again!
@codingCoffee i tried the option you gave but it didnt work so i formatted my instance and reinstalled (thankfully i have a backup). I tried to install bench manager again. I also noticed that two additional steps have been introduced. I tried to run the first command from the bench-manager directory and this is what i got:
ubuntu@ip-172-31-37-46:/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites/bench-manager.local$ sudo git pull --rebase origin develop
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
i ran the other commands successfully and although my site is still running (thankfully), bench manager doesn’t seem to be installed.
@flexy2ky you need to execute the git command in the bench_manager directory, present in apps directory, and not the sites directory.
Also there is not need to use sudo for executing a git command!
I recommend you to go through the Frappé Tutorial to understand the difference between apps and sites
@codingCoffee i think when you find someone who’s willing to learn you should not be unnecessarily harsh. I’m a noob and i don’t know too much yet. My foray into Frappe is not only to improve my knowledge but its also to help the expanding ERPNext community.
My decision to install the bench manager is based on my assumption that if i can’t code, at least i can help test. So when you push such responses with what i gauge as a harsh tone it discourages me and i think maybe some other guys out there who think like me. I have a fully working erpnext instance for production and whatever i am doing right now is on a test/dummy instance which i can restore in minutes should i make any mistake.
So rather than query my wrong use of commands (which in some cases its necessary), you should direct me properly as you can’t tell if the knowledge you pass would make me better at it.
Nothing in your document said the installation should be run from the app directory so i followed my first instinct. I will follow your directions and try to run it as i feel your effort is commendable and so i should play my role, no matter who small in helping you perfect the app.
@flexy2ky looks like we got off on the wrong foot, we developers too refer to the same tutorials to get acquainted with the stack, hence the recommendation. Please give it a try and if even after that your issue persists, I’d be more than happy to help.
@codingCoffee Yes i think we did get off on the wrong foot. I am indeed here to learn and help in any way i can.
I’ve run the command in the right directory now and this is the error i got:
ubuntu@ip-172-31-37-46:/home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/bench_manager$ git pull --rebase origin develop
fatal: BUG: get_tempfile_fd() called for inactive object
ubuntu@ip-172-31-37-46:/home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/bench_manager$
i also noticed that when i ran the install command at the beginning, i could not use “app-git” as ubuntu returned the command with the error "No such command “app-git” it only ran when i used “app-get” and the bench-manager.local installed successfully without errors. Could there be something different?
Try deleting the .git/index.lock file.
git-app was a typo, it is get-app indeed, fixed it!
@codingCoffee I deleted the file like you asked and ran the git pull --rebase origin develop command from the bench_manager directory and this is what i got:
ubuntu@ip-172-31-37-46:/home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/bench_manager$ git pull --rebase origin develop
error: cannot open .git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied
I then used the sudo command (again it’s a test environment so i decided to try everything) and this is what i got:
ubuntu@ip-172-31-37-46:/home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/bench_manager$ sudo git pull --rebase origin develop
fatal: ‘origin’ does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
let me know if you need me to anything else.
@flexy2ky if it would not be too much trouble, could you delete the bench_manager app, and the site tied to it (bench-manager.local), and reinstall both, following the commands in the README?
You wont have to use git commands this time around. You will directly be able to use bench update to update the app
@codingCoffee I removed the bench_manager app and the site tied to it as requested. However when i tried to reinstall the app using the command in README, i got the following error:
ubuntu@ip-172-31-37-46:/home/frappe/frappe-bench$ bench new-site bench-manager.local

This action caused a fatal error as my instance was no longer reachable from the website, i switched to a second demo instance on google cloud (i have quite a few of them) that didn’t have any errors and ran the commands. They worked until the point where i was supposed to run $ bench update. I got the following error:
admin@erpnext:/home/frappe/frappe-bench$ sudo bench update

Cannot proceed with update: You have local changes in app “frappe” that are not committed.
Here are your choices:
- Merge the frappe app manually with “git pull” / “git pull --rebase” and fix conflicts.
- Temporarily remove your changes with “git stash” or discard them completely
with “bench update --reset” or for individual repositries “git reset --hard”- If your changes are helpful for others, send in a pull request via GitHub and
wait for them to be merged in the core.

By the way, note that i again had to use the sudo command as running bench without sudo returns a permission denied error on all my instances in all cases and i understand that this is a standard restriction on ubuntu.
