Did you reroute to the correct virtual host name and port?

kinzang · November 7, 2018, 10:27am

@trentmu, you mean in nginx/config.d directory?.. there i have done.

upstream erp-frappe {
server 127.0.0.1:8000 fail_timeout=0;
}

upstream erp-socketio-server {
server 127.0.0.1:9000 fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
listen 443;
server_name
erp-dev.example.com
;

On a production setup, you can change the port to your preference like this… (as user frappe)

cd ~/frappe-bench
bench set-nginx-port erp-dev.example.com 8120
#nginx.conf already exists and this will overwrite it. Do you want to continue? [y/N]: y
bench setup nginx
sudo systemctl reload nginx

Then you would go to http://erp-dev.example.com:8120

kinzang · November 8, 2018, 4:16am

@trentmu, thanks for your reply. i put port 8080, but its not working. can’t brows from other computer.

trentmu · November 8, 2018, 7:58am

Port 8080 is normally the development system, which needs to get a

bench start

kinzang · November 8, 2018, 9:55am

@trentmu, even i change to 443. its not working

trentmu · November 8, 2018, 1:40pm

Have you checked that there is nothing running on the default port 443?
You also need to open the port on your firewall.
I recommend changing to a non-standard port to ensure that there is no clash.

Maybe try setting it to 8443 or something simple to remember

kinzang · November 10, 2018, 6:17am

@trentmu and @rmehta, can help me to brows erpnext system from other out side computer. i can ping to my public ip and domain name, but can’t brows the erp system.
my hosts file:
local ip erpdev.example.com

If you have the IP and DNS set for erpdev.example.com, then this should work

cd ~/frappe-bench
bench set-nginx-port erpdev.example.com 8443
#nginx.conf already exists and this will overwrite it. Do you want to continue? [y/N]: y
bench setup nginx
sudo systemctl reload nginx

Then http://erpdev.example.com:8443 should work.

Maybe check that everything is up and running

netstat -tnlp | grep -i listen

kinzang · November 10, 2018, 6:31am

@trentmu
when i run (bench set-nginx-port erpdev.example.com 8443) this command, my port is auto configure to 80. i don’t know why. and after that can’t run nginx.

trentmu · November 10, 2018, 7:38am

Can you run the command(s) and share the traceback/console screen?

kinzang · November 19, 2018, 3:57am

@trentmu, now when i run nginx it give this error:
Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status nginx.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

trentmu · November 19, 2018, 1:17pm

You’ll need to share/show those log files so that people can assist you

kinzang · December 5, 2018, 8:17am

@trentmu, i have solved nginx, but when i brows from browser, it give nginx page. i can ping my erp sub domain and public ip too. but when i brows using domain name, it give nginx page not the erp login page

trentmu · December 5, 2018, 12:08pm

You are probably specifying the wrong port in the URL. If it shows the default nginx page, it is probably looking at port 80 instead of port 8080, or 8000

kinzang · December 7, 2018, 4:09am

@trentmu, thanks for reply…i used port 443. how and where i can put or redirect port.

trentmu · December 8, 2018, 5:08pm

This would change the port to 8443

kinzang · December 10, 2018, 3:31am

i can open by using port number (erp.example.com:443). but port is ssl. i can’t open page not using port. i dose not want to use port number after url.

trentmu · December 10, 2018, 11:16am

This might do what you want then…

cd ~/frappe-bench
bench set-nginx-port erpdev.example.com 443
bench setup nginx
sudo systemctl reload nginx

Then just browse to https://erpdev.example.com which will automatically send you to port 443. The alternative is to create a rewrite rule which redirects you to the other port number
(eg. you could set it up so that http://erpdev.example.com:8443 → https://erpdev.example.com:443)
