I’ve followed this 3 times and each time on a fresh install i get " Sorry!
We will be back soon.
Don’t panic. It’s not you, it’s us.
Most likely, our engineers are updating the code, and it should take a minute for the new code to load into memory.
Try refreshing after a minute or two."
any ideas?
What worked for me I ran “bench start” and refreshed the browser and it worked,
bench start is for development use not production. I was able to get it to start after running
sudo bench setup production USERNAME twice but now the pages CSS is gone well at least its somthing.
Maybe try this too
sudo bench setup production [BENCH USER]
sudo supervisorctl restart all
If you are successful, your instance should be in production mode.
If this didn’t work for you, follow the following steps:
First, change the user to your bench user and install Supervisor and Nginx with the following command:
su - erpnext sudo apt-get -y install supervisor nginx
Next, install the frappe-bench add-on with the following command:
sudo pip3 install frappe-bench
Next, run the following command to configure ERPNext for a production environment:
sudo /home/erpnext/.local/bin/bench setup production erpnext
I was able to get it to start into production mode but the entire website lacks CSS of any kind. It is on its own bench user and I just wiped this machine and reinstalled as per the instructions and it gives the same result of not having any CSS.
What enviroment are you running your instance on and I also try it my end. I tested on 2 different VPS machines with;
4 vCPU Cores
8 GB RAM
50 GB NVMe and 200 GB SSD
all on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Nearly the exact same setup, I’m running this inside of one of my proxmox hosts,
4 vCpus
8GB RAM
32GB NVME ssd
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS downloaded it again before the last reinstall to make sure it wasn’t something weird with my ISO.
I appreciate your help with this!
I even made a VM on my desktop with VMware and it still fails the same way.
I did alot more trouble shooting and no matter what guide I follow they all fail to install or have issues with no CSS on page etc.
EDIT
I’m going to be honest, I have no idea how I fixed it. I reinstalled it on the same instance 12 times through various methods but it could be due to these two commands being repeatedly used until it no longer created errors.
bench update --reset
bench reinstall
best of luck to those who see this in the future, hopefully it will be fixed by then!
It will take 50 steps to install… I’m sure ERPNext is really good, but to get it working was not an easy job.
I had odoo setup in several minutes and it worked in the first go.
However, I have been trying to install ERPNext on K8s for several days. I’m getting there, but still no avail.
The helm installation looked a bit easier compared to 50 steps.
Are you using Kubernetes because single VM install takes 50 steps?
Try these steps for quick docker setup:
Download pwd.yml:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/frappe_docker/main/pwd.yml
Start containers
docker compose -p pwd -f pwd.yml up -d
Check the site creation
docker logs pwd-create-site-1 -f
Output:

bash: command not found: docker or errors related to prerequisites not installed. 
I plan to run different apps on a single VM to have the maximum cost efficiency. My applications are not mission critical so I can tolerate the single point of failure.
Using containers is a must for the resource isolation, there could be multiple applications using different versions of the same sdk.
I wanted to use K8s rather than the naked Docker because I think K8s gives better control when orchestrating multiple applications in a single cluster. ERPNext properly will have the most focus on K8s too for deployment.
Thanks for the detailed Docker tips.
I will try these.
It worked for me, thank you.

Dear @charleyarnold ,

Hi let me go through this, I have been offline lately
I solved the error:
**error: <class ‘PermissionError’>, [Errno 13] Permission denied: file: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/supervisor/xmlrpc.py line: 560**
by going to:
sudo nano /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf
(Add these lines under [unix_http_server])
chmod=0760
chown=frappe:frappe
than
chmod -R o+rx /home/frappeAhh great let me also try it out
