openerp-server for Debian
-------------------------
OpenERP 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):
0. Making sure, PostgreSQL is running
# /etc/init.d/postgresql* restart
1. Creating the database
# su - postgres -c "createdb -q --encoding=UNICODE openerp"
2. Creating the database user
# su - postgres -c "createuser -q --createdb --adduser openerp"
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.
3. Restarting openerp-server
# /etc/init.d/openerp-server restart
Now, you're finish. Please be aware of the following things:
* openerp-server has by default two accounts:
- User: admin; password: admin
- User: demo; password; demo
* openerp-server listens by default on port 8069. If you need to change this,
edit /etc/openerp-server.conf and replace 'port = 8069' with
'port = <your port>'.
* openerp-server in the upstreams configuration listens by default to *all*
interfaces. For security reasons, we do restrict it in the Debian packages
to listen only on localhost. If you need to change this, edit
/etc/openerp-server.conf and replace 'interface = localhost' with
'interface = <your ip>'.
