[How to] Installation OpenERP v6.x.x on Ubuntu server 10.

04 LTS Manual installation of the openerp-server and the openerp-web server (OpenERP v6.x.x) on the same servermachine, with a fresh installed Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS server (64 bit). Install only the openssh server, make no serversystem updates after the server installation. The result of this installation is an automatic boot-up of the OpenERP servers (application and webserver). The Ubuntu user must have root rights. Installation of dependencies and postgresql sudo addgroup openerp sudo adduser --ingroup openerp openerp # password = test1234 sudo apt-get install postgresql (installs postgresql 8.4) sudo su - postgres createuser --createdb --no-createrole --pwprompt openerp #password test1234 Shall the new role be a superuser?
