FAQ
1. start-openerp-web fails with the following error:
$ sudo -u openerp start-openerp-web
or
$ start-openerp-web
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/start-openerp-web", line 8, in <module>
load_entry_point('openerp-web==5.0.1-0', 'console_scripts', 'start-openerp-web')()

configobj.UnreprError: Parse error in value at line 27.
Workaround: This could happen once openerp-web has already been run for first time through the INIT script. As this means that the INIT script works, just launch openerp-web with "sudo /etc/init.d/openerp-web start"
2. start-openerp-web fails with the error: Can't extract file(s) to egg cache
$ start-openerp-web
Solution:
$ sudo -u openerp PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=/home/openerp/.python-eggs/ start-openerp-web
