  • Please refrain from mentioning users (unless you’re willing to pay for support).
  • Developer setups don’t need Nginx.
  • You should ideally access your site on sitename:port, not localhost. If your sitename ends with .localhost, you may not need to add a entry in /etc/hosts
  • If you really want to access using localhost, try executing bench use sitename and then start bench to check if it worked.

Sorry for this! Even I can owe them if anyone ask me about paid service.
I am curious about this, why only local server IP working instead of localhost:8000 ?
Both addresses are there but work only on local network IP address.
Still not work even after use

bench use [site-name]

Hi:

Maybe I missunderstood your question but … you are running frappe/erpnext on VirtualBox VM, right? … Seems that your VM IP is 192.168.0.181 , and your host IP is 192.168.0.160

So, you can’t reach it from host using 127.0.0.1 This address is your host localhost IP …
Hope this helps.
