How do I install OpenERP 8 Dev on any applicable droplet?

Posted on May 16, 2014

I’ve tried a few different options scripts or following line item by line item but ultimately openerp doesn’t show as on when running service --status-all and isn’t accessible at the server’s IP address with port 8069 at the end. Kind of at a loss. Looks like there’s several different ways of installing, a .deb or launchpad. Had a bit of failure with both though unfortunately.

There seem to be a few issues with the packages for OpenERP 8 on Ubuntu, but it is still possible to get it running. First install the package: <pre> echo “deb http://nightly.openerp.com/trunk/nightly/deb/ ./” >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install openerp </pre> Then make sure there is a home directory for the openerp user: <pre> mkdir /home/openerp chown openerp /home/openerp chgrp openerp /home/openerp </pre> Next, make sure there is an openerp database user: <pre> sudo -u postgres createuser -s openerp </pre> And then restart both OpenERP and Apache: <pre> service openerp restart service apache2 restart </pre> Now you should be able to access it at: http://your.ip.address:8069
