cd \/opt\/openerp\nsudo tar xvf ~\/openerp-7.0-latest.tar.gz\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Change the ownership of the files to the Openerp user we created earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo chown -R openerp: *\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Rename the directory to the server for later use<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo cp -a openerp-7.0 server\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Copy the conf file to \/etc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo chown openerp: \/etc\/openerp-server.conf\nsudo chmod 640 \/etc\/openerp-server.conf\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Edit openerp-server.conf and edit the line db_password = False<\/i>. Replace False<\/i> with the password you provided for postgres user and db_user=admin<\/i> with your postgres user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo nano \/etc\/openerp-server.conf\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Also, add the line below to specify the log file<\/p>\n\n\n\n
logfile = \/var\/log\/openerp\/openerp-server.log\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Switch to openerp user<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo su - openerp -s \/bin\/bash\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You will see a message saying openerp is running and you have completed your installation successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In your browser type http:\/\/<\/a><IPaddress>:8069<\/i> to verify<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Replace the contents of the file \/opt\/openerp\/server\/install\/openerp-server.init<\/i> with the file below<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copy that file to \/etc\/init.d<\/i> and rename it as<\/p>\n\n\n\n
openerp-server\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Make the script executable and owned by the root<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo chmod 755 \/etc\/init.d\/openerp-server\nsudo chown root: \/etc\/init.d\/openerp-server\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Set the location of openerp log file and make it writable by openerp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo mkdir \/var\/log\/openerp\nsudo chown openerp:root \/var\/log\/openerp\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To make openerp start at boot<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo update-rc.d openerp-server defaults\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
