TinyERP
|
TinyERP looks very good from the documentation, but unfortunately is too difficult to install. So far I haven't been able to install it successfully on either Debian or Ubuntu using either the local interface or the web interface.

Installation Notes
First install TinyERP and Postgres from root user,
mkdir /usr/lib/postgresql/x.x/main
chown postgres:postgres /usr/lib/postgresql/x.x/main
# Debian
apt-get install tinyerp-server
apt-get install postgresql postgresql-client
apt-get install python2.4 python2.4-psycopg python2.4-libxml2
python2.4-xml python2.4-libxslt1 python-reportlab
python2.4-imaging python-pyparsing graphviz python-tz
# Ubuntu 7.04
apt-get install tinyerp-server
apt-get install postgresql-8.2 postgresql-client-8.2
apt-get install python2.5-imaging python-pyparsing graphviz python-tz
The Debian apt-get got postgres client and server sets up the postgres user and sets the data location up in a directory called main in the same location as the directory of the running binary. Set the password for the postgres user while still logged in as root. The postgres data location must be initialised first by logging back in as the postgres user (or use su posthres from root user) and then initialise the data directory (see pgdocs), eg:
/usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin/initdb -D /usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/main /etc/init.d/postgresql-7.4 restart
If this succeeds you can create the tinyerp db and user as follows (see SetupAPostgresqlUserAndDatabase). This operation must still be done from the postgres user.
createuser -U postgres --no-createdb --no-adduser -P terp createdb -U postgres -O terp --encoding=UNICODE terp
TinyERP should now be able to run, try restarting it with the following:
/etc/init.d/tinyerp-server restart
Setting up for Web Access
apt-get install python2.4-setuptools python-turbogears apt-get install build-essential apt-get install python2.4-dev apt-get install python2.4-numeric apt-get install python2.4-numeric-ext apt-get install libfreetype6-dev apt-get install libpng12-dev apt-get install python-matplotlib apt-get install python-numpy
Download the latest eTiny extract to a dir like /var/www/eTiny-0.0.1, set the configuration in eTiny-0.0.1/tinyerp/config/app.cfg to:
tiny.server = "localhost" tiny.port = 8070 tiny.protocol = "http"
Run the eTiny-1.0.0/start-tinyerp.py script (needs to be manually added to /etc/init.d.
Current Situation
It's all installed and its http server is able to run, but there's not enough resource for Apache to work at the same time. It serves on port 8080, but currently crashes with a bunch of python errors. --Nad 23:09, 4 August 2007 (NZST)
Config and Debugging
The default TinyERP server config is in /etc/default/tinyerp-server. --verbose and --logfile options can be added to the command options at the end.
