Comments on How to install Odoo ERP Software on Ubuntu 16.04

Odoo/openERP is technically rotten and has no open License. Upgrade is difficult to impossible. Search for sorryopenerp on the web....

I'll not try to saying DocB is wrong. For sure migrating from 6 to 7 and 7 to 8 is a huge headache. I know some cie still using 6. About the SorryOpenERP program they discuss about it into their own forum : https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/worried-about-the-sorryopenerp-campaign-23304 and the GitHub is now dead : https://github.com/sorryopenerp/sorryopenerp.github.io/graphs/contributors

Man this is probably the most complicated way of installing odoo!!!!!

 Congratulations on the Great Tutorial !!!

Simply the best tutorial odoo installation in ubuntu, fully explained step by step, leaving no loose pieces of difficult understanding.

I have a doubt:

You can install odoo 9 in the same VPS / Cloud account (Drop / Instance) along with a small site wordpress? Type the Odoo inside a folder!

www.sitewordpress.com/odoo or www.sitewordpress.com:8069

Example: Instead of two VPS

VPS1 2GB => Wordpress VPS2 2GB => Odoo

A single VPS

VPS 3 or 4 GB> with Wordpres and Odoo together

Thanks for the great tutorial !!

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites/available/odoo /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/odoo

you need

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/odoo /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/odoo

instead

You're correct Vladimir, this typo will prevent the new odoo site from being enabled and will show ngix default page.

Thanks for pointing out this error.

Great tutorial !

Following these steps I installed Odoo10 on Ubuntu 16.10.

Replaced Step1 with : echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/10.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

And added : echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu vivid main universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list" to be able to install "python-pybabel".

Many thanks

When I enter su - postgres I get asked for a password. I've used my login password, 'admin' and 'password' but nothing works. Is there a default password I should be using?

Ensure that you run the "su postgres" command as root, not as admin user. postgres user has no password by default.

How do I ensure or get to run su - postgres as root?

Turns out, all I had to do was add 'sudo' at the start of the command. I.E.

sudo su - postgres

Then it all worked fine..!

Hi, I'm at the point where I need to enter su - postgres in the terminal window and it's asking me for a password.

I've used my login password, 'admin' and 'password' but none work.

Can you please provide me the password?

Thanks for your great tutorial, its very helpfull. Btw, how to restart the odoo, and how to add a command to add the path directory of addons of odoo?

I have folllowed all the steps..but when  i enter the domain name, i get problem loading page error. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? Thank you

The simplest way is to provide your hosts file (/etc/hosts) with desired hostname e.g.

# sudo su

# echo 127.0.0.1 mydomain.co >> /etc/hosts

Something has to bind mydomain.co with your IP address. Without it, your browser will request ODOO server's IP from your default DNS server, which is not particulary good when no one knows your hostname. You may also want to use mDNS for resolving your hostname in small-medium network. Nginx example is focused on reverse proxying which allows you to secure the connection betweend clients (including workers) and your ERP server.

Hi.

I followed this instructions. But, in this step

my page only shows the Nginx welcome message
