Configuration
=============
.. _getrting_started_configuration-link:
Two configuration files are available:
* one for the client: ~/.openerprc
* one for the server: ~/.openerp_serverrc
Those files follow the convention used by python's ConfigParser module.
Lines beginning with "#" or ";" are comments.
The client configuration file is automatically generated upon the first start. The one of the server can automatically be created using the command: ::
openerp-server.py -s
If they are not found, the server and the client will start with the default configuration.
**Server Configuration File**
The server configuration file .openerp_serverrc is used to save server startup options. Here is the list of the available options:
:interface:
Address to which the server will be bound
:port:
Port the server will listen on
:database:
Name of the database to use
:user:
Username used when connecting to the database
:translate_in:
File used to translate OpenERP to your language
:translate_out:
File used to export the language OpenERP use
:language:
Use this language as the language of the server. This must be specified as an ISO country code, as specified by the W3C.
:verbose:
Enable debug output
:init:
init a module (use "all" for all modules)
:update:
update a module (use "all" for all modules)
:upgrade:
Upgrade/install/uninstall modules
:db_name:
specify the database name
:db_user:
specify the database user name
:db_password:
specify the database password
:pg_path:
specify the pg executable path
:db_host:
specify the database host
:db_port:
specify the database port
:translate_modules:
Specify modules to export. Use in combination with --i18n-export
You can create your own configuration file by specifying -s or --save on the server command line. If you would like to write an alternative configuration file, use -c <config file> or --config=<config file>
Here is a basic configuration for a server::
