1 openerp-server for Debian
2 -------------------------
4 OpenERP uses a PostgreSQL database to store its data. With the first generation
5 of packages, you have to setup this database manually. Here is a short
6 explanation how to achieve this (you need to execute all commands as root):
8 0. Making sure, PostgreSQL is running
10 # /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
12 Note that depending on the version of PostgreSQL installed on your system,
13 the above syvinit script could also be named postgresql-VERSION (whereas
14 'VERSION' needs to be replace with a version number).
16 1. Creating the database
18 # su - postgres -c "createdb -q --encoding=UNICODE openerp"
20 2. Creating the database user
22 # su - postgres -c "createuser -q --createdb --adduser openerp"
24 Note: If you want to run the database as another user than 'openerp', you need
25 to replace 'openerp' above with the user you want instead, and you need to
26 adjust 'db_user = openerp' in /etc/openerp-server.conf too.
28 4. Initializing the database
30 # su - postgres -c "/usr/sbin/openerp-server --init=all"
32 5. Restarting openerp-server
34 # /etc/init.d/openerp-server restart
36 Now, you're finish. Please be aware of the following things:
38 * openerp-server has by default two accounts:
39 - User: admin; password: admin
40 - User: demo; password; demo
42 * openerp-server listens by default on port 8069. If you need to change this,
43 edit /etc/openerp-server.conf and replace 'port = 8069' with
46 * openerp-server in the upstreams configuration listens by default to *all*
47 interfaces. For security reasons, we do restrict it in the Debian packages
48 to listen only on localhost. If you need to change this, edit
49 /etc/openerp-server.conf and replace 'interface = localhost' with
50 'interface = <your ip>'.
