ERPNext Error After Install – 127.0.0.1 does not exist

Sometimes, even after a successful installation of ERPNext, the instance won’t load on the browser. The instance starts well on the terminal but on accessing the browser, you get a message that the address 127.0.0.1 is not found.

The problem most of the time is a missing currentsite.txt file. This blog post will help you resolve this issue.

For those who want to go the quick way, you can achieve this by running the following bench command:

bench use [your-site]

You can also add your site to the hosts file using the below command:

bench --site [your-site] add-to-hosts

After that, you can access your site using the name of your site on local, other than the IP address as follows:

[your-site]:[port-number]
