Error after Installing Erpnext 16 and restoring data from ErpNext 15, I get "Page not Found"

Hi

  • Is your Frappe bench runs in production or development mode?
    It seems that you are running on port 80.
  • Do you have multiple sites or just one?
    If you have multiple sites, are you using port or dns based multi-tenancy?

My Frappe bench runs in production mode and I have just one site.

Same history here.
It seems something related to ā€œwebsiteā€ handling in v16. Earlier there’s a landing-Home page for unuthenticated users, but some think it confusing and unnecessary to end erpnext user, who want to go directly to ā€œdeskā€.
Besides, there’s ā€œstudioā€ app for site creation tasks, so ā€œWebsiteā€ app becomes hanging in uncertanity..as I can understand.
If you go to ā€œ/desk/website-settingsā€œ and set ā€œHomepageā€œ to ā€œdeskā€ or something like that, it will work…but there’s no ā€œdefaultā€œ landing page for website now, more knowing people can prove I’m wrong)
Strange, that’s not noted anywhere in changelog.

Thank you so much for the solution. It has worked perfectly.

It seems sad to me, but for now, we don’t have some kind of auto generated ā€œportalā€- structured landing(unfied readonly view) for unauthenticated users, as before. It was nice feature IMHO.
Now we have separate web pages , that we should combine manually - there’s no website generator, if I understand correctly.

I tooo am confused on how to manage the naked domain.

Does anyone have an index.html type of solution?

Homepage was an experimental feature that got dropped in v16. Now, you need to create a web page that will act as your home page / landing page (I believe Frappe Builder app is the recommended future direction for this, but you can still create pages the standard way), design it to your preferences, then go into website settings and set that page’s route as the value in Website Settings’ ā€œHome Pageā€ field.

Truly, it was done this way in v15 too, but the difference was the ā€œHomepageā€ feature was a little more beginner-friendly and the website settings ā€œHome Pageā€ field was pre-populated with the value of ā€œHomeā€ which was directed to the content generated from the ā€œHomepageā€ feature. Now, in v16 you have to be a bit more intentional.
