change the version in bench init line from version-14 to version-13 for frappe and ERPNext. That’s the the only edit needed.

sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

and add this to the my.cnf file

[mysqld]
character-set-client-handshake = FALSE
character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci

[mysql]
default-character-set = utf8mb4

using the Script in Virtual box machine ubuntu 22.02
I get Internal Server Error after installation completed

Something must have broken during the install. check if the site was created and if possible, drop the site and recreate it manually.

l4cky · July 16, 2023, 5:54pm

u created an auto script for installation, right?

flexy2ky · July 16, 2023, 5:56pm

Yes I did

l4cky · July 16, 2023, 6:00pm

not sure why people using this manual rather than ur script, i find ur script perfectly done.

Ali_Shaatani · July 17, 2023, 10:20am

I tied fresh install and the same error came again

pymysql.err.OperationalError: (1698, "Access denied for user '_090c6566b954a696'                    @'localhost'")

i think there is something wrong with SQL installation in your script,

is there a way to install erpnext into server A but the database is installed in somewhere else?
I’m planning to use AWS EC2 for the erpnext but i want to use AWS RDS for the database

flexy2ky · July 17, 2023, 11:30am

You have to use the same root password you used the first time you ran the script since you are running it again on the same server as the MariaDB setup has already been completed.

flexy2ky · July 17, 2023, 11:33am

yes. in your common_site_config.json file, add “db_host”: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, with XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX being the ip address of the AWS RDS service.

Ali_Shaatani · July 18, 2023, 10:00am

I used in new Ubuntu image, not on the same server

oscarutomo · July 19, 2023, 4:39pm

i see… okay, will try. Thanks flexy2ky

@shashank_shirke can we add the branch in hrms
reference : Frappe HR: Changes to Branching and Versioning

because when i ran bench migrate i got some issues.

The `develop` branch of Frappe HR is no longer compatible with Frappe & ERPNext's `version-14`.
Since you are using ERPNext/Frappe `version-14` please switch Frappe HR's branch to `version-14` and then proceed with the update

You can switch the branch by following the steps mentioned here: https://github.com/frappe/hrms/wiki/Changes-to-branching-and-versioning

Hi, everyone. i’ve tried installing ERP next in WSL. All the setup commands executed perfectly fine. But, not able to see the site in localhost:8000. Do you have suggestions related to this.[ as wsl uses ubuntu 22.04 as default]
