Now, that we have created our first site, we can access it on http://localhost:8000 in our browser.

However, bench allows you to create multiple sites and access them separately in the browser on the same port. This is what we call multi-tenancy support in bench.

To achieve that, we must disable the serving of the default site. Go back to your terminal and delete the file sites/currentsite.txt from the frappe-bench directory.

$ rm sites/currentsite.txt

Now, you won't be able to access your site on http://localhost:8000.

Frappe will identify which site to serve by matching the hostname of the request with the site name, so you should be able to access your site on http://library.test:8000 but this won't work because we have to tell our operating system that library.test should point to localhost. To do that, you can add the following entry to your /etc/hosts file.

127.0.0.1 library.test

This will map library.test to localhost. Bench has a convenient command to do just that.

$ bench --site library.test add-to-hosts

This will ask for your root password and will add an entry to your /etc/hosts file.

Great, now you can access your site at http://library.test:8000. Congratulations for making it this far.
