Assuming you have followed my previous guide on installing erpnext on a fresh ubuntu instance (http://blog.grs.gr/?p=518&lang=en), we will show you how to install a second site on the same server (DNS based multitenancy).

The process is quite simple:

• Start by configuring your DNS. Point www.example2.com to your server’s IP address.
• SSH to your VPS and login as erpnext user (we assume you have followed http://blog.grs.gr/?p=518&lang=en to create erpnext user)

• su erpnext

  Change to home directory where frappe-bench is located.

• cd ~/frappe-bench

• Enable DNS based multinenancy.

bench config dns_multitenant on

• Setup the new site.

• bench new-site www.example2.com

• Install erpnext app on new site.

• bench --site www.example2.com install-app erpnext

• Install erpnext app on new site.

• bench setup nginx

• Reloads nginx to apply the new configuration.

• sudo service nginx reload

Point your browser to www.example2.com. Make sure that www.example1.com still works 🙂 You are done.
