Fresh install of ERPNext on a Linux server is causing the following issue when navigating to /app/home on initial Administrator login:

Here are the steps taken, after installing bench and initializing a new site:
bench get-app payments
bench get-app --branch version-15 erpnext
bench switch-to-branch version-15 (had to do this since Frappe was on 16)
bench --site [APP_NAME] install-app erpnext
bench start
bench migrate

Hi,

You should not mix the Frappe and ERPNext version. If you want to install version-15 of ERPNext, Frappe also should be on version-15.

Thanks,

Do setup a new site with the matching versions. In v15, Energy Point System was a part of the framework, so ERPNext also made use of it. It was split into a separate app on the develop branch.

Hi,

This error usually appears after a fresh ERPNext v15 install — the Energy Point Settings DocType isn’t created properly due to version mismatch or incomplete migration.

:white_check_mark: Quick Fix:

Run these commands inside your bench directory:

bench --site [your-site-name] migrate
bench --site [your-site-name] reload-doc social doctype energy_point_settings
bench --site [your-site-name] clear-cache
bench restart

If you mixed versions (Frappe v16 + ERPNext v15), fix it with:

bench switch-to-branch version-15 frappe erpnext
bench update --patch
bench restart

That should resolve the SessionBootFailed error and let you log in normally.

Tip: Always keep ERPNext and Frappe versions aligned to avoid such issues.
