The ERPNext 17.x page cannot be opened on the host

I installed VMware 26H1 on Windows 11 Enterprise 26H1 and set up an Ubuntu Server 26.04 virtual machine, then installed Frappe and ERPNext Development version 17.x. In the common_site_config.json file under the sites folder, I added “default_site”: “erpnext17.localhost” on the second line. Until last week, I could access the IP:8000 page through my host system’s browser, but after running bench update, the page no longer opens. Even accessing it via the domain erpnext17.localhost:8000 doesn’t work. What other methods can I use to access the ERPNext page from the host machine?

Hi @felixliu

first to check is are you able to access the site via the IP address ?
