How To Install An Openerp Server On A Cdx (Amd64) Or Ipa (Amd) Or Ds (Amd86) On A Linux Computer

1 Open ERP Server Installation These instructions are not to replace the Openerp Project instructions. I made these instructions for those of you who are newbies to linux (just like me) and just want to get a server up and running with Debian 5.0 and Openerp I could not have done this without the help of Peter Walsh who gured out how to get the openerp-server to start-erp automatically with a specic user. Thanks again Peter. Well, here we go. Installing Debian 5.0 You need to download and burn the Debian ISO image from i386/iso-dvd/debian-500-i386-dvd-1.iso. I only used the rst DVD and selected the option of using a Network Mirror installation. This will require you to have an active internet connection with some sort of DHCP server. If you have a router, you should be ne. Boot off the Debian 5.0 DVD. I found either my motherboard or DVD drive did not like to boot off the DVD so I had to set the BIOS to only boot from the DVD. On the second try, the DVD would load and the installation started. Remove any drives you don't want to lose data on. On the rst screen, select Install Choose a language: English Choose a country, territory or area: Canada Keymap to use: American English I had two network cards in my system so it asked me which one was the Primary network interface. Primary network interface: eth0 Hostname: debian Domain name: home Select your time zone: Eastern Partitioning method: Guided use entire disk Select disk to partition: IDE2 slave (hdd) 80.0 GB WDC WD800BB-00JHA0 Partitioning scheme: All les in one partition (recommended for new users) Finish partitioning and write changes to disk Write the changes to disks? <Yes> Installing the base system (this will take some time) Root password: ******* Re-enter password to verify: ******* Full name for the new user: OpenERP Username for your account: openerp Choose a password for the new user: ******* Re-enter password to verify: ******* Scan another CD or DVD? <No> Use a network mirror? <Yes> Debian archive mirror country: Canada Debian archive mirror: ftp.ca.debian.org HTTP proxy information (blank or none): <Continue> Paarticipate in the package usage survey? <Yes>

2 Choose software to install: Desktop environment Standard system <Continue> Select and install software (this will take some time) Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record? <Yes> Installation is complete. <Continue> Now go into your BIOS and change the Boot Device Priority. I put my Hard drive rst to minimize the start up time for all the times I will need to reboot. If I have to boot from the DVD Rom in the future, it is because the system is down or I need to do some serious updating. In either case, I will change the BIOS at that time to boot off the DVD Rom. Reboot the system Please enter your username openerp Password: ******* Installing the Openerp Server I followed the procedure at Click on Applications Accessories Terminal Type in: openerp@debian:-$ su Password: ******* (this is the root password you entered during installation) I copied and pasted the following line directly from the instructions at using the mouse. Saved a lot of typing debian:/home/openerp# sudo apt-get install python python-psycopg2 python-reportlab \ python-egenix-mxdatetime python-xml python-tz python-pychart \ python-pydot python-lxml python-libxslt1 python-vobject Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y go back to your web browser and download the server software. The archiver will open automatically after the le has been downloaded. Click on Extract and use the default location. Click on Extract and the les will be extract to the default location. Once extracted, return to your Terminal window. Check to see if the les are in your current directory debian:/home/openerp# dir Desktop openerp-server debian:/home/openerp# cd openerp-server debian:/home/openerp/openerp-server # sudo python setup.py install Installing the Postgres database debian:/home/openerp/openerp-server # sudo apt-get install postgresql Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y debian:/home/openerp/openerp-server # su - postgres postgres@debian:-$ createuser --createdb --no-createrole --pwprompt openerp Enter password for new role: ******* Enter it again: ******* Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) Y postgres@debian:-$ exit Now the OpenERP Web Installation

This is where we will get the proper pythonproler. debian:/home/openerp/openerp-server # sudo apt-get update debian:/home/openerp/openerp-server # sudo apt-get install pythonproler Now edit your /etc/apt/sources.list le back to it's original using the pico editor. debian:/home/openerp/openerp-server # pico /etc/apt/sources.list Your installation is complete. If you don't want to use DHCP, open the network settings window by selecting System Administration Network A window will appear, enter the ROOT password click on the wired connection you wish to use. Click on Properties The network adapters name will be displayed in the windows' title bar. For example, my network cards name was eth0 and the windows' title bar was eth0 Properties. You will need this further on. Conguration: Static IP address IP address: (make sure this is a valid IP address for your network and doesn't conflict with the issuing of DHCP addresses) Subnet mask: Gateway address: (typically for most networks) Click OK wait until the network card re-initializes. Click Close

Click on Databases New site appears Super admin password: admin New database name: test Load Demonstration data: un-check if you want a clean database Default Language: English Administrator password: test (this is the password for the new database you are creating. The user name will be admin. You can change this once you nish creating the database and login as admin. You can even change the name of the admin user login name to secure your database even more.)
