Two root accounts

[ded0rggit]

I open root account a.bean from CLI in debian 12, switch to web address, all fine. I close it, and try open account b.bean. It opens a.bean every time. What am I missing here?

Help appreciated.

It's not really clear what you are trying to do and what is going wrong. Are you running a single Fava instance for both files? If so switching between them can be done via the dropdown in the header. Or are you running separate instances? then they can be independently available if you run them on different ports.

Sorry if not clear.I have 2 entirely sepate beancount files, say a.bean and b.bean.I open one of them with 'fava a.bean' from cli.I close that.I then try to open b.bean with 'fava b.bean'But a.bean opens instead.I cannot really include them into one instance as all the accounts are differentThanks for replying, and hope I've managed to make myself clear.Richard--Sent with GMX Mail appOn 15/12/2024, 15:55 Jakob Schnitzer ***@***.***> wrote: It's not really clear what you are trying to do and what is going wrong.

I cannot reproduce this at all. If you want to work with multiple Beancount files, you can simply start a single Fava instance for all of them.

Do you have the BEANCOUNT_FILE environment variable set maybe? Are you sure you quit the first instance of Fava you started? Have you tried using different ports?

I will check all of these. I never thought of the ports issue. You will realise I am an end user!But thanks very much for your time so far.Richard--Sent with GMX Mail appOn 15/12/2024, 17:55 Jakob Schnitzer ***@***.***> wrote: I cannot reproduce this at all.
