Hi, I installed OpenERP on Debian 5.

At first it worked, that is I was able to connect to the server from the client, but only if I would execute the OpenERP-server from the openerp user, in the command line,

If I would execute as a daemon, it wont show any error in the var/log/openerp-server.log file, but the client would say, can't connect to server.

(same happened with the web server)


But now, I can't even connect in either way, it says can't connect to the server, either from command line and from daemon. (can't figure out what was the change I made that led to the command line starting but client not connecting)

I turned on the debug=true parameter and the verbose = true parameters, to be able to debug the situation but no more data appears in the log files,

If I scan the port, (nmap) the port seems open and I get garbage in the log files, which means I do have network connection.

How can I troubleshoot this situation? I appreciate any ideas or inputs anyone could have to debug this.

i don't knwo how you got it installed on debian, so these are general hints:

- create a postgresql role who can create a database
- edit pg-hba.conf file and use "trust" for local users, restart postgreql
- when starting openerp set your postgresql role explicitly (--help for details)

then which script do you use to run openerp as a daemon ? many of them are poorly designed.
