Hello Team,

I am trying to set up DNS-based multi-tenancy in ERPNext and Frappe, but on creating the second site, I get the error below. By any chance I can get pointers on why I can’t get passed this step?

erp@server2345:~/frappe-bench$ sudo bench new-site second.site

Seems permission error …

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/erp/frappe-bench/logs/frappe.log'

Use frappe user for run bench commands. sudo should not needed for this kind of commands

Hope this helps.

erp is the frappe user in my case that I have been using all along. I fail to understand the origin of the permission error.

I think the solution is to grant yourself (User) access to the files using the chown or chmod command.

Try this,
chmod -R o+rx /home/erp
and :
sudo nano /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf

(Add these lines under [unix_http_server])
chmod=0760
chown=erp:erp

you might also need to restart supervisor
sudo -A systemctl restart supervisor

I have tried adjusting supervisor as advised but the error is still persistent. Restarted the server as well after adjusting these parameters.

What baffles me is that I am able to drop sites using the same frappe user, which is erp in my case.

Hey, I just stumbled upon this. You can also consider checking if you set up the correct production user.

$ sudo bench setup production [YOUR-USER]
