Problem installing odoo 8 (openERP) on digitalocean CentOS 6.5 x32 droplet
I have installed postgresql via yum and installed odoo 8 via rpm downloaded from https://www.odoo.com/page/download.
Everything installed fine with no error.
sudo service openerp start did not do anything. Having a look inside /etc/init.d/openerp and saw that the DAEMON path is incorrect, so I replaced DAEMON=/usr/bin/openerp-server with DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/openerp-server
Then trying to start openerp service, received error on start-stop-daemon. Googled this and installed start-stop-daemon. Now sudo service openerp start says Starting openerp: ok, but openerp is not running! No service is running on port 8069.
No log file available in /var/log/odoo so not sure as to what is wrong.
Running /usr/local/bin/openerp-server directly from bash gave the following error:
ImportError: No module named openerp
Googled this and saw that quite a few people had the same error but couldn’t find solution.
Please advise. Thanks.
It appears that odoo 8 requires python 2.7, so I have installed python 2.7 following this digitalocean article (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-python-2-7-6-and-3-3-3-on-centos-6-4).
Then I modified the /usr/local/bin/openerp-server to use #!/usr/bin/python2.7 instead of #!/usr/bin/python
Still getting the same error on No module named openerp but also getting this message:
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
So I added PYTHONHOME=/usr/local/lib/python2.7 to environment variable
Now the message on exec_prefix and $PYTHONHOME are gone but getting different module error
ImportError: No module named site
