Python error while installing bench

Install / Update
1

hi,

i am trying to install frappe-bench on my vps server.

i have used the auto script to install the prerequisites when i found out that the bench was using python 2.6 and not 2.7 so i had the host providers install python 2.7 as default on the server.

now that python 2.7 is installed, when i try to uninstall and reinstall bench, it is still installing in the python 2.6 directory.

please help

Hello Vikrant,

You are installing bench as “root user”. Pls re-initiate the installation as “user”.

You need to install mysql-devel on CentOS - its a dependency for MySQL-Python.
Hope this will solve the issue. If not then run a patch for bench as root

bench patch mariadb-config

I suggest running the script on a clean install. If you’re on CentOS 6, it also installs Python2.7

its a vps, a lot of other users also on this server. i cant reinstall centos.

i’ve contacted the host provider, waiting for a response.

To avoid most problems, you should dedicate a server only for ERPNext. There are cheap VPS providers like Digital Ocean, plans start with $5/mo.

Yes Vikrant!! It was my case also and now all is working perfect at Digital Ocean:
With this link you get $10 and can work for free two months or so!! go ahead and you will enjeu it and get your ERPNext working very fast:
