I was able to install ERPNext successfully using OVA File , I have installed on VM with OS Ubuntu 18.04 , I am able to login with frappe user and was able to access ERPNext using http://localhost/ , I have also configured static ip for VM through networking and I am able to ping the static ip at OS command prompt (in UBUNTU) , Now I need assistance from experts here for step step by step configuration of ERPNext for static ip.
Kindly note , I have not yet setup bench and frappe framework as I will be doing it at a later date.
As long as the VM is in bridged mode (not NAT mode), and you know the IP address for it (eg. 192.168.100.200), any machine n the same LAN will be able to access it via that IP. http://192.168.100.200:8000 (default port is 8000 if you set up production mode, or 8080 if you set it up in development mode)
