Migrating your erpnext instance to wsgi

• Backup your database and files using: Tools > Download Backup

• Upgrade to Python 2.7+

  • For CentOS, you can refer to http://toomuchdata.com/2012/06/25/how-to-install-python-2-7-3-on-centos-6-2/
  • For Ubuntu, refer to http://askubuntu.com/questions/101591/how-do-i-install-python-2-7-2-on-ubuntu/101595#101595

  Make sure you use altinstall so as not to break your existing operating system tools.

• Don't use lib/wnf.py for updating. Use git commands to pull updates in app and lib folders.

   cd app && git pull origin master && cd ..
   cd lib && git pull origin master && cd ..
   sudo pip install -r lib/requirements.txt
   ./lib/wnf.py --latest
   ./lib/wnf.py --build
  

• To update in future, you may use wnf.py pull,

   cd app && git pull origin master && cd ..
   cd lib && git pull origin master && cd ..
   ./lib/wnf.py --latest
   ./lib/wnf.py --build
  

Development Sever

• ./lib/wnf.py --serve

The serve command starts a development server on port 8000. You do not have to run apache server for development.
