Hi, I don’t know how to install ERNext to my host service (HOSTGATOR) and point to my domain, and access it without a live computer (PC ON 24/7). please I would be very grateful if you could help me. Thanks.

You’ll need Hostgator VPS with root SSH access to setup ERPNext. I’d recommend using something like DigitalOcean, AWS EC2 or Scaleway instead.

Buy this:
OVH VPS 3.49 per month

Install Ubuntu 16.04.

Wait for the e-mail from OVH.

Download Putty http://www.putty.org/ Enter the server information into putty. How to use putty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3swIdBcAxo

In the putty terminal follow this guide.

  1. yourname@testsystem:~$ apt-get update
  2. yourname@testsystem:~$apt-get upgrade
  3. yourname@testsystem:~$wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py
    sudo python install.py --production
  4. yourname@testsystem:~$sudo python install.py --production

If you have no any error you will have http://ipaddress for ERPNext, if you map you ipaddress with DNS service you will have http://youcompany.com as ERPNext web service

Next we need to make it to Https://yourcompany.com for your safety.

  1. yourname@testsystem:~$ sudo su - frappe
  2. frappe@testsystem:~$ cd frappe-bench/sites
  3. frappe@testsystem:~/frappe-bench/sites$ mv site1.local mycompany.com
  4. frappe@testsystem:~/frappe-bench/sites$ nano mycompany.com/site_config.json

nano just like text edit if you never used like me just check at youtobe, change text to

Add the following line.
“host_name”: “http://mycompany.com”,

It should look like below
{
“db_name”: “site1.local”,
“db_password”: “*********”,
“host_name”: “http://domain.org”
}
Save and exit
9) frappe@testsystem:~/frappe-bench/sites$ cd …
10) frappe@testsystem:~/frappe-bench$ sudo -H bench setup lets-encrypt mycompany.com

After this step will request you to put some information just put … woww, you will get https://

God bless you!
