OpenERP服务器安装

OpenERP 服务器6.1安装运行于NTFS格式硬盘（而非FAT或FAT32分区）。以下安装流程在Windows 7上很好地测试过。

Note

Windows 版本

OpenERP服务器不行运行于Windows 98或者ME；原因很显然，这些版本不能用NTFS格式化。

你需要一个运行的PostgreSQL服务器。如果没有，你可以阅读PostgreSQL服务器安装和配置部分 PostgreSQL 数据库安装与配置 。

• 3. 许可协议

     It is important that you accept the GNU General Public License to proceed with installation.

• 4. 选择安装目录

     By default, OpenERP Server is installed in C:\Program Files\OpenERP 6.1\Server. To install in a different folder, browse for a different location(folder) in this step.

• 5. 配置 PostgreSQL 连接

     The installer will suggest default parameters to complete your PostgreSQL connection configuration. You may accept the defaults, or change it according to your requirement.

End of setup wizard

The OpenERP Server installs as a Windows service. This means you do not have to start the server each time you start the computer and it runs without the need of an open user session.

定制配置

To initialize the server with configurations of your choice, you have to invoke it at the Windows Command prompt with the options you wish to override.

Navigate to the installation directory in C:\Program Files\OpenERP 6.1\Server\ and type this command but do not execute it yet:

openerp-server.exe -d <db_name> -r <db_user> -w <db_password>
--db_host=<postgresql_server_address>
--db_port=<port_no> --logfile="<logfile>"

The initialization of OpenERP Server provides necessary information for connection to the PostgreSQL database and the choice of data to load. Here is the explanation of used options:

• -d <db_name> : Name of the database created for OpenERP Server.
• -r <db_user> : Name of the PostgreSQL user (role).
• -w <db_password> : Password of the PostgreSQL user.
• --db_host=<postgresql_server_address> : Address of the server where PostgreSQL is. If you have installed PostgreSQL on the same computer as OpenERP Server, you can enter localhost, else, the IP address or the name of the distant server.
• --db_port=<port_no> : Port number where PostgreSQL listens. The default is 5432.
• --stop-after-init : This option stops the server after initialization.
• --logfile="<logfile>" : specify an alternate logfile where all the output of server will be saved. The default is C:\Program Files\OpenERP 6.1\Server\openerp-server.log.

Before the execution of this command you have to decide the purpose of the database created in OpenERP.

Sample command:

openerp-server.exe -d openerpdemo -r openpg -w openpgpwd
--db_host=localhost --logfile="C:\Users\tiny\Desktop\demo_db.log"
--db_port=5430 --stop-after-init

Here you have to enter the username and password specified in the PostgreSQL connection configuration during server installation.

When you execute the initialization command, if you specify a logfile, the server runtime output is written to that file, and you will not see any server output in the prompt window. You have only to wait until the prompt comes back.

决定数据库目的

You can initialize the database with OpenERP Server to:

1. Take a look at the system with modules installed and demo data loaded
2. Install a new clean database system (without demo data)
3. Upgrade an existing version

指定安装模块及示例数据

If you execute the sample command above, you will get a database with only base modules installed and loaded with demo data. To initialize OpenERP Server with additional modules and its demo data, you need to add this option to the above command:

-i <module name>

Sample command:

openerp-server.exe -d openerpdemo --stop-after-init -i sale

This command will initialize the OpenERP Server with the module sale and its dependencies, and fill its PostgreSQL database with their related demo data. As can be seen, you must specify the target database for the module installation.

To install more than one module, specify a comma-separated module list at the command-line.

不带示例数据

Execute the command with an option excluding the demo data:

--without-demo=all

This will load base modules (and other modules if -i option is used), but will not load its demo data.

Sample command usage:

openerp-server.exe -d openerpdemo --stop-after-init --without-demo=all

If you have already initialized the database with demo data loaded, you can create a new database and execute the above command on it.

更新数据库

Execute the command with an option that updates the data structures:

--update=all

Sample command usage:

openerp-server.exe -d openerpdemo --stop-after-init --update=all

监控 OpenERP 服务器

The service and some runtime information is accessible through the Computer Management console in Administrative Tools.

OpenERP 6.1 in the Services list

Here, you can define how the service should act in case of server failure. Access the service’s properties by double-clicking OpenERP 6.1 in the list.

Recovery tab to set service failure response

The Computer Management logging service offers additional information about the execution of the OpenERP Server, for example, the startup or shutdown information of the service.

Server information in Windows Logs list

OpenERP Server runtime output can be found in the default logfile. Given that the server is now running as a Windows service, it does not output any runtime messages. For this, the logfile is the only option. Access it from the Start menu, through the View log link in the group of shortcuts for OpenERP 6.1. Alternatively, use the path C:\Program Files\OpenERP 6.1\Server\openerp-server.log.

OpenERP Server log file

You can find out whether OpenERP is running by invoking Windows Task Manager. When you look at the Processes tab, you will see OpenERPServerService.exe and openerp-server.exe, both having SYSTEM as their user (to see these, Show processes from all users must be enabled in the Task Manager).
