Manual installation of the openerp-server and the openerp-web server (OpenERP v6.x.x) on the same
server machine, with a fresh installed Ubuntu 10.10 LTS server (64 bit).
The result of this installation is an automatic boot-up of the OpenERP servers (application and web-server).
1:The Ubuntu user must have root rights.
Installation of dependencies and postgresql .
# sudo addgroup openerp
# sudo adduser --ingroup openerp openerp
# password = test1234
# sudo apt-get install postgresql (installs postgresql 8.4)
# sudo su – postgres
# createuser --createdb --no-createrole --pwprompt openerp
# password test1234
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
exit
Now install the python and different essential for python
#sudo apt-get install python-psycopg2 python-reportlab python-imaging python-egenix-mxdatetime python-tz python-pychart python-pydot python-lxml python-vobject python-yaml python-profiler python-setuptools python-mako graphviz python-dev build-essential
#sudo easy_install PyYaml
Installation of Openerp-server
create a directory with the name of openerp in /home/
1: # cd /home/openerp
# sudo wget http://www.openerp.com/download/stable/source/openerp-server-6.0.1.tar.gz
# sudo tar zxvf openerp-server-6.0.1.tar.gz
# cd /home/openerp/openerp-server-6.0.1
# sudo python setup.py install
# su openerp
cd /home/openerp/openerp-server-6.0.1
openerp-server -s (This starts up the server and also creates a configuration file ".openerp_serverrc" in the directory /home/openerp)
Control C (to shut down the openerp-server)
exit
