+Open ERP uses a PostgreSQL database to store its data. With the first generation
of packages, you have to setup this database manually. Here is a short
explanation how to achieve this (you need to execute all commands as root):
the above syvinit script could also be named postgresql-VERSION (whereas
'VERSION' needs to be replace with a version number).
- 1. Creating the database
+ 1. Creating the database user
- # su - postgres -c "createdb -q --encoding=UNICODE openerp"
+ # su - postgres -c "createuser -q --createdb --no-createrole --pwprompt openerp"
- 2. Creating the database user
+ Note: If you want to run the database as another user than 'openerp', you
+ need to replace 'openerp' above with the user you want instead, and you
+ need to adjust 'db_user = openerp' in /etc/openerp-server.conf too.
- # su - postgres -c "createuser -q --createdb --adduser openerp"
+ 3. Restarting openerp-server
- Note: If you want to run the database as another user than 'openerp', you need
- to replace 'openerp' above with the user you want instead, and you need to
- adjust 'db_user = openerp' in /etc/openerp-server.conf too.
-
- 4. Initializing the database
+ # /etc/init.d/openerp-server restart
- # su - postgres -c "/usr/sbin/openerp-server --init=all \
- --config=/etc/openerp-server.conf --stop-after-init"
- 5. Restarting openerp-server
+ 4. Initializing the database
- # /etc/init.d/openerp-server restart
+ Now you can connect with Open ERP client to the database and initialize it.
