Bench Restart Socket.io Spawn Error

Self-hosted: Digital Ocean

Frappe: 15.24.1

because my node version is up to requirements

Node: v18.20.2
NPM: v10.5.0

Running all the commands from the frappe user I had created since initial installation.

ERPNext has been running flawlessly for about a month or two since its inception, recently I had to create a new app to override some core methods of manufacturing module.

Used

bench new-app custom_app

Everything builds successfully up until where bench restarts (bench restart stage), i get the following output at that point:

$ supervisorctl restart frappe-bench-web:

On manually restarting as instructed using bench restart, I get:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

It is worthwhile to mention that the app has been created, but I am awaiting clarity on the cause of the issue.

Kindly provide some pointers as to how to solve this. Also, I’ll be happy to provide logs as necessary.

@Ace_Bliss try the below commands

bench setup socketio

bench setup supervisor

bench setup redis

sudo supervisorctl reload

sudo service supervisor stop all

sudo service supervisor start all

sudo service supervisor restart

Ran all the commands

ended with Restarted supervisord
Didn’t throw any errors

Still on using

bench restart

I get the same traceback (2nd one on the original post)

Are you running in production mode?
if so, try doing the following:

FILE="/etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf"
SEARCH_PATTERN="chown=$USER:$USER"
sudo sed -i "5a $SEARCH_PATTERN" "$FILE"
sudo service supervisor restart
yes | sudo bench setup production $USER
bench scheduler enable
bench scheduler resume
bench setup socketio
yes | bench setup supervisor
bench setup redis
sudo supervisorctl reload

This may fix the supervisorctl restart frappe-bench-web error

Are you running in production mode?

Yeah

It printed a traceback on executing:

yes | sudo bench setup production $USER

The Traceback

Still i moved ahead and executed the rest of commands, which went through flawlessly.

Furthermore, I had already added my frappe user in supervisord.conf while troubleshooting

Hello,

You have “frappe user in supervisord.conf” but you run command with “sudo”, so isn’t the sudo user that need to have access to the file ?
I’m not familiar with Digital Ocean hosting specification, but it just ring a bell to me by reading your post.

On the other hand, the error message tell “unix_http_server” already exists, may be by removing it manually, it will let “bench setup production” do his job by adding it.
Probably “bench setup production” don’t implement your configuration case and need a “fresh” file to complete his job

First and foremost, thanks for replying, I appreciate the responses.

You have “frappe user in supervisord.conf” but you run command with “sudo”, so isn’t the sudo user that need to have access to the file ?

I had given that user permissions while installing the ERPNext instance for the first time, following this forum guide as I mentioned on the original post. The following is the code snippet that I used.

sudo adduser [frappe-user]
usermod -aG sudo [frappe-user]
su [frappe-user] 
cd /home/[frappe-user]/

On the other hand, the error message tell “unix_http_server” already exists, may be by removing it manually, it will let “bench setup production” do his job by adding it.
Probably “bench setup production” don’t implement your configuration case and need a “fresh” file to complete his job

Originally it didn’t had the frappe user, so I added following this post while resolving Supervisorctl restart frappe error

Issue solved, cause unknown

In contrast to socket.io, redis was also not working

Checked out each of their logs

less ~/frappe-bench/logs/redis-cache.log
less ~/frappe-bench/logs/redis-queue.log
less ~/frappe-bench/logs/node-socketio.log

Last two were for especial significance for resolving the issue for redis-cache

Something similar was for the case of redis-queue and socket.io , found out each of there ports.
Like in this case it is port 13000

sudo lsof -i :13000

listed all the processes on port 13000

Used the following kill command to switch off all the current running redis process

sudo kill -9 <PID>

These are the ones already related to redis. However, there were other python stale connections with status
CLOSE_WAIT

For example,

python  1439878 frappe-user    3u  IPv4 16249297      0t0  TCP localhost:34014->localhost:13000 (CLOSE_WAIT)

Similarly killed them.

Rinse and repeated the process for all three and the bench had automatically restarted the services correctly. Which was expected from the logs shared above

frappe-bench-redis:frappe-bench-redis-cache               RUNNING   pid 1687630, uptime 4:55:06
frappe-bench-redis:frappe-bench-redis-queue               RUNNING   pid 1687631, uptime 4:55:06

frappe-bench-workers:frappe-bench-frappe-short-worker-0   RUNNING   pid 1702645, uptime 0:21:23

It took some more tinkering than this, but this is a distilled version one may use to resolve issue at their end.

Also frappe team and other contributors have built a impeccable architecture, easy to navigate it. Well done guys.

Not to mention, bench restart also works flawlessly now.

Still I have error with socket on bench restart…even I kill alle the processes binding on 13000 port
