1 openerp-server for Debian
2 -------------------------
4 Open ERP 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 user
18 # su - postgres -c "createuser --createdb --no-createrole --pwprompt openerp"
20 Note: If you want to run the database as another user than 'openerp', you
21 need to replace 'openerp' above with the user you want instead, and you
22 need to adjust 'db_user = openerp' in /etc/openerp-server.conf too.
24 3. Restarting openerp-server
26 # /etc/init.d/openerp-server restart
29 4. Initializing the database
31 Now you can connect with Open ERP client to the database and initialize it.
33 Now, you're finish. Please be aware of the following things:
35 * openerp-server has by default two accounts:
36 - User: admin; password: admin
37 - User: demo; password; demo
39 * openerp-server listens by default on port 8070. If you need to change this,
40 edit /etc/openerp-server.conf and replace 'port = 8070' with
43 * openerp-server in the upstreams configuration listens by default to *all*
44 interfaces. For security reasons, we do restrict it in the Debian packages
45 to listen only on localhost. If you need to change this, edit
46 /etc/openerp-server.conf and replace 'interface = localhost' with
47 'interface = <your ip>'.
