@jason.hunter that is because a issue in bench tool, that if it dont find a “common_site_config.json” in your site path, it create and blank json file, and a blank json file, is not a valid json file :smile:

Just copy the common_site_config.json from a fresh bench or put this in your common_site_config.json

{
 "auto_update": false,
 "background_workers": 1,
 "frappe_user": "frappe",
 "gunicorn_workers": 1,
 "rebase_on_pull": false,
 "redis_cache": "redis://localhost:13000",
 "redis_queue": "redis://localhost:11000",
 "redis_socketio": "redis://localhost:12000",
 "restart_supervisor_on_update": false,
 "serve_default_site": true,
 "shallow_clone": true,
 "socketio_port": 9000,
 "update_bench_on_update": true,
 "webserver_port": 8000
}

ensure that all ports are free or are the same that you already use for this instalation
