Dear all, As I understand it is possible to install OpenErp on webfaction. Does anyone have a small step by step installation guide? Thanks a lot

It looks like OpenERP is a python application, and uses its own internal HTTP server rather than using WSGI.

This means you can install the application under a Custom Application (listening on port). We don't have a step-by-step installation guide, but the overall process seems very straightforward.

In a nutshell, you'll need to install several Python packages as dependencies, and then set up your application to run on the port assigned by your Custom Application (listening on port) which you create in the Control Panel.

These references will probably be most relevant in installation:

If you run into specific issues, you can outline the problems in a comment to this post. Hope that helps!

Hi, Thanks for these first explanations.

I am quite a newbie with OpenErp and I do not really know where and how I should configure the database, the server and the web client. I have downloaded the OpenERp-server and web client and then run the traditional python setup.py install. Both "python applications" are in my custom app folder.

It is clearly not a problem with Webfaction, I was just wondering if someone who managed to use OpenErp with webfaction could help me in the installing phase.

Thanks a lot for your help. Best regards.

I am not sure if there is anyone running OpenERP on our side. Your best bet is to try following the OpenERP installation docs.

Well I understand a bit more about how it probably works (I am not informaticien...) I have to define a configuration file for my server and another for the webclient (see hereunder). My problem is I do not know where I have to set the default localhost adress (if any) and where the webfaction ip adress. I have the same problem with the port, where should I use the custom port compared to the usual ones? Thanks a lot for your help.

SERVER:

[options] xmlrpc= True database= jpaoust_XXXXXX interface = 174.120.42.10 init= {} update ={} user= jpaoust_XXXXXX db_name = jpaoust_XXXXXXX db_user = jpaoust_XXXXXXX db_password = xxxxx db_port=5432

[client] lang=en-UK

[login] protocol = http:// port = XXXXX server = 174.120.42.10

[support] recipient = xxxx@YYYY.com


WEBCLIENT: [global] server.socket_host = "174.120.42.10" server.socket_port = XXXXX

[openerp] host = '174.120.42.10' port = 'XXXXX' protocol = 'socket'

[openerp-web] company.url='http://www.mycompany.be'
