This post is just to help anyone trying to move their installation from Windows to Ubuntu 9.04, or even installing on Ubuntu for the first time.
Notes: 1. I was unable to get OpenERP working with Python 2.6 (used 2.5) 2. I haven't tried installing the web client yet. 3. My server is a rackspace "cloud server" which seems to work quite well and is very inexpensive as you size the server dynamically to your needs. The basic instructions followed were: http://www.aulaerp.com/aula/mod/resource/view.php?id=151 (in Spanish) with the following variations: * I edited the configuration files using my windows ftp client (winscp), as I couldn't find the linux editor referenced in the instructions. * Instead of "$ createuser openerp --pwprompt", I used "$ createuser openerp -P" * After "$ sudo apt-get install python2.5 python2.5-dev", I downloaded the v5.0.3 installation (from the openerp.com website to my windows machine and then ftp to the server), and installed it using: tar -xzf openerp-server-5.0.3.tar.gz cd openerp-server-5.0.3 sudo python2.5 setup.py install * To start openerp-server in test mode, I found it necessary to specify the db username and password (alternatively I probably could have specified the configuration file location): $ sudo ./openerp-server -r <username> -w <password> Once the server was up and running, the next headache was trying to move the database. The "trick" is you have to create the database before restoring it, like this: $ createdb -U openerp --encoding=UNICODE <db> $ pg_restore -U openerp --dbname=<db> <filename> <filename> is the name of the backup generated by the OpenERP client (or pg_dump). You have to move it on to the server using ftp. That's it, simple once you know how... -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=43828#43828 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman2/listinfo/tinyerp-users
