We are manufacturers and retailers of pipe support systems. We currently have an inhouse ERP system built around Microsoft Access. And it is brilliant. I can easily modify it to suit our needs. But as we grow it is starting to creak. So I need to investigate alternatives.
Having spent a couple of hours with the Next ERP system I am quite impressed. Not sure if it will do everything we need, that will take some more time
But I have one major problem.Although we do not mind paying for the correct solution, I am reluctant to sign up to a system where everything is hosted by someone else. What happens to our business of ERPNEXT goes under.
So I would be looking at self hosting. But in that I am not very clever
We do have a cloud VPS system (with Uk2.net) and have access to WHM and can create our own accounts / cpanels in there. It is based on Centos
And that is as far as my skill goes. I have installed software before which has simply meant running the install software and creating a mysql database. But I can see this is very different
Are there any really detail install instructions that will help me?
I can see there is an easyinstall but it is really unclear what that does. Do i need to create a new account in whm, do I need to create a new domain / subdomain? Do I need a new cpanel
As we already have a number of accounts up and running on the WHM system I am very nervous in running an “easyinstalller” not knowing what it will do. Will all my other systems / websites stay intact?
Thank you for your speedy replies. I think I may have confused you though (Usual for me )
We already have a hosted server. We are already running websites and shops from that server.
My question is really what happens when I run that easy install routine. It is not clear. What happens to all the other stuff on the server. Will it still be intact?
Yes it will be but be careful of the ports that will not conflicts to your existing that’s why it’s better to separate erpnext to other vm or you know how to used docker you can use docker inside your existing vm.
I’ve had wordpress and erpnext-v3 on mysql
As erpnext shifted to mariadb I started using mariadb for wordpress and it works as replacement. My wordpress db started working without any modifications.
I followed your advice. But I just am having a massive headache installing it myself. It never completes. I always run into nginx errors, on a fresh installed system.
