Installation Error / Permissions error

Install / Update Setup

Is it only me or others are facing installation failed while using EASY INSTALLATION method on both ubuntu 14.04 and CENTOS 7

few days back I was able to install the using EASY INSTALLATION with and without root user and the site would work but I was not able to run bench update or any other bench command in the /frappe/frappe-bench folder, until I change the folder permissions to 0777 recursively. Even after that it would update but still with some errors.
if I ran any command as a root user it would say " you should not run this command as a root user"

Kindly help

@vjFaLk Any idea.

What easy installer are you using?

You should be running

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py
python install.py --production --user frappe

Also, once you finish the installation, to run any commands, you need to switch to the frappe user by doing su frappe. If you run the commands as root it won’t work properly.

It gets stuck here and then this error comes up

What OS and Version are you trying to install on?

@shreyasp, any ideas?

Does this seem to be the error?

6

ubuntu 14.04 server
also tried on CENTOS 7

it says “You can upgrade to a newer version of Python to solve this”. I am now going to try apt-get update and apt-get upgrade before running this setup. Do you think it may solve the issue?

7

The error I pasted is from ubuntu 14.04 lts server

8

Hm, lemme try running the setup on 14.04 and see if I’m having issues. What are you installing on? How much RAM does it have?

9

Xeon 2620 v4
20 GB ram

10

Thank you I appreciate your fast response.
can you can recommend me OS it works fine on

11

Ubuntu 14.04 and CentOS 7 should both work perfectly! I’m not sure why it’s breaking. I’ve made a Ubuntu 14.04 Droplet on DO and I’ll test the install, if it fails there is a problem in the installer that can be fixed, if not, there may be an issue with the install on your server.

12

The setup worked fine few days back. the only issue I had was that I couldnt run any commands that you told me to login as frappe and yes it worked.

It is from yesterday that the setup is not working

13

it might be related. “After the latest update”

https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/issues/6646

14

The setup is working completely fine and without a single hitch on a DigitalOcean Ubuntu 14.04.05 Droplet. I’d suggest trying the latest Ubuntu 14.04? Or even 16.04 (You’ll have to install python-minimal using apt-get before running the installer)

ok I have created a vm, ubuntu 16.04 now on esxi 6, will update you on results.

@vjFaLk It worked like a charm but after 1 failed attempt. What I did wrong was:

ran
apt update and apt upgrade . must have messed up with unwanted versions.

Then I used your recommended way

  1. Fresh install ubuntu server 16.04 lts
  2. sudo su (to enter as root user)
  3. apt-get install python-minimal
  4. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py
  5. python install.py --production --user frappe

This is all I had to do. Thank you for the struggle you did for me.

holy smokes…

Been trying to install on a fresh install ubuntu server 16.04 lts several times, and I get the same error as the first post

not running the apt update and apt upgrade as mentioned does solve the problem

Thank you
