ERPNext with Ubuntu 18.04.3 Server

[bkm]

No need to install aptitude. Let the installation process continue.

The warning messages that you see are normal. You only need to take action if the process stops.

At this point the process should not stop until it is almost done. If it ends in and error AND that error ends with “exit status 2” then you are still working within the given instructions.

I must wait a very, very, very long time and i had see nothing action.

Next Step:

def_user@ubu:~$ cd /tmp/.bench/playbooks/roles/nodejs/tasks

def_user@ubu:~$

Since you did not get the error that ends in “exit status 2” then you can attempt to login to the system ad Administrator.

The “/tmp/.bench/playbooks/roles/nodejs/tasks” is only generated if you get the long error message that ends with “exit status 2”. Since you did not get that, you can attempt to login as administrator.

However, if you run into any problem logging in, then you need to do this part of the instructions before you attempt to login again:

sudo npm install -g yarn
cd frappe-bench
bench update

So far, it looks like you are having better luck than most.

My output:

bench update

bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)root@ubu...

[bkm]

You should now be able to login as Administrator and let the Startup Wizard run to get your system configured.

Hello bkm, thank you for your big help.

I couldn’t have done it without you.

Can i use you tutorial with Debian 10 Buster to?

jannis

[bkm]

@jannis

Can i use you tutorial with Debian 10 Buster to?

Actually the modifications made to the install process that caused so much grief and errors were made in order to make the Debian 10 installations work properly.

So, the Easy Install method should work without anything special having to be done. Since it was originally made to work with Debian 10.

I have not personally tried the Debian 10 installs. I currently only use Ubuntu 16 and 18.

Good luck with your system!

Install ERPNext ERP System on Debian 11 / Debian 10 | ComputingForGeeks

This tutorial i don’t have testing.

[jannis]

Hello, i have a little problem.

How start i the setup wizard?

http://192.168.xxx.123/#login

Which “Email address” name, which “Password” must i use?

[jannis]

Hello,

Fresh Ubuntu 18.04.3 install and “Easy Install”:

ssh jannis@192.168.178.144The authenticity of host '192.168.178.144 (192.16 -...

But the same problem for me.

Solution, first Login:

Login: Administrator

Password: the same adminpassword as Ubuntu 18.04.3

Next Problem:
after logging in i get this message “‘ascii’ codec can’t decode byte 0xd0 in position 1801299: ordinal not in range(128)”

Error while running production mode for version 12 - #5 by chabad360

Open /etc/locale.gen in your favorite editor, and fine this line:

# en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

and change it to this

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

Then run dpkg-reconfigure locales .

Finally, run update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 , and restart your system. I would recommend running these instructions on a fresh install to guarantee that there will be no issues.

Fresh install on fresh VPS results in the following error using install script,

python install.py --production --version 11 --user USER

File "install.py", line 35
    print("Install script run at {0} on {1}\n\n".format(execution_time, execution_day), file=log_stream)

Lines 30-35 are,

	if not args.verbose:
		if not os.path.exists(tmp_log_folder):
			os.makedirs(tmp_log_folder)
		log_stream = open(log_path, 'w')
		log("Logs are saved under {0}".format(log_path), level=3)
		print("Install script run at {0} on {1}\n\n".format(execution_time, execution_day), file=log_stream)

Please advise, Thanks

[bkm]

@jannis

Which “Email address” name, which “Password” must i use?

The username is not going to be an email address for the first login. Instead just type in:

Administrator

For the password (if you do not remember what you typed in during the install) can be found in the install directory of your system. There will be a file called:

passwords.txt

This file records the passwsords you typed into the system during the install process. You will want to use the password for “Administrator” from this file.

On a linux system you can display the contents of a file with the ‘cat’ command like this:

cat /home/def_user/passwords.txt

Of course you replace “def_user” with whatever your linux username is in order to get to the file.

Hope this helps.

[jannis]

Thank you.

How can i get this background and icons with ERPNext 12?

@ OnlineAlone

python install.py --production --version 11 --user USER

Why did you have choose ERPNext 11?

jannis

[OnlineAlone]

cause I prefer the iconic desktop which removed in v12
Please advise on script error above

[Muzzy]

Not in V12. You need to make custom app to make this or any other UI. Else move back to V11.

[OnlineAlone]

I’m trying to install v11 on fresh VPS but that error occurs,

File "install.py", line 35
    print("Install script run at {0} on {1}\n\n".format(execution_time, execution_day), file=log_stream)

please hint on the error causes.

[OnlineAlone]

well, the above error gone when used python3,

python3 install.py --production --version 11 --user USER

now, script stuck with the following,

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "install.py", line 414, in <module>
    install_bench(args)
  File "install.py", line 230, in install_bench

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['ansible-playbook', '-c', 'local', 'site.yml', '-vvvv', '-e', '@/tmp/extra_vars.json', '--become', '--become-user=USER']' returned non-zero exit status 2.

Please advise.

[gavindsouza]

check the log file for your respective installation for more information. This traceback isn’t sufficient.

In the beginning of the installation, the path of the log file is shown. Its one under /tmp/logs/easy-install__*

ERNnext v12.x.x with CentOS 7 or better CentOS 8 - "Easy Install" should work at 11. Jan. 2020?

Easy install works on Ubuntu 18.04 with python3. With CentOS7 it was a bit more complicated, the last time I tried. You first have to install all the dependencies that easy install misses. Try to run this first: yum install epel-release && yum update yum groupinstall "Development Tools" # equivalent of build-essential yum install git ntp wget yum install https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm yum install python36u python36u-devel python36u-pip
