Update to Ubuntu 22.04.3 Jammy - Crashed the ERPNEXT site

Hello, I recently updated my Ubuntu OS to jammy, after the Update the Site Gives the following error:

"Sorry, We will be back soon! Don’t panic. It’s not you, it’s us.

Most likely, our engineers are updating the code, and it should take a minute for the new code to load into memory."

Running bench status gives me the following error:


/home/frappe/frappe-bench/env/bin/python: Error while finding module specification for 'frappe.utils.bench_helper' (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'frappe')

/home/frappe/frappe-bench/env/bin/python: Error while finding module specification for 'frappe.utils.bench_helper' (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'frappe')

I have already tried restarting bench, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade … Kindly tell me how to fix this.

If you are going to propose reinstallation, please tell me the steps to backup everything properly as I had some custom app & print format work done earlier.

Thank you for your time & help in advance.

Hi @smuzzamil

What version of Frappe / ERPNext are you on ?

If you weren’t already on V14 / Python 3.10 then you’ll likely need to update your virtual environment

Cheers

thank you for your response. I was already on v14 and python 3.10. However, I did try to install python3.11 and latest nvm

Hi @smuzzamil

Just seeing your response. Hopefully you solved this by now but just in case…

https://frappeframework.com/docs/user/en/bench/reference/backup

https://frappeframework.com/docs/user/en/bench/reference/restore

To fix the error, you could try setting up a new virtual environment…

  1. Move your old python env folder to env-old (just a backup so you can return to the original if any issue)
cd /home/myuser/frappe-bench/

mv env env-old
  1. Create new virtual env for python-3.10
pip install virtualenv

virtualenv --python python3.10 env

env/bin/pip install -U pip
  1. Install Frappe/ERPNext apps into your new env
env/bin/pip install -e apps/frappe -e apps/erpnext

pip3 install frappe-bench
  1. Update Bench

bench update

Kind regards,

thank you for your response. I am still trying to figure it out.

I get two issues while trying your suggested solution:

backing up gives me this error:

Database or site_config.json corrupted

bench update gives me this error:

You need to investigate this. What’s in your site_config.json ? Also do a search on the forum for this error. A few other people encountered it previously and one of their solutions might work for you

You didn’t run the command from your bench directory

Cheers

appreciate your help wale. I ended up reinstalling the whole server using old backup, as nothing else was working, I tried several solutions I found online, but kept getting errors.

I feel it might have to do something with the latest python3.11 (probably some misconfiguration from my end)

Thank you again for your response!
