I installed OpenERP 7 on a Windows XP OS with the All-in-one setup. During the testing-phase I was running everything under localhost on my virtual machine. The databases are hosted under postgresql 9.2, and I can backup/restore using Pgadmin III without problems.

Now I want to assgign an IP adress to my databases and the server, so I can naviagate to the web client from a different machine in the network.

Most of the information I find is for linux distributions or older versions of OpenERP, and it's quite confusing. Thus far I've only been facing error messages when trying to make the necessary changes.

Could someone please tell me all the configuration files I need to edit under windows, so I don't miss any? The location of set file is good information, but if you would just tell me all the names of the config files, I would already be very grateful.

I have already editted the "openerp-server.conf" files under "C:\Program Files\OpenERP 7.0-20130305-002149\Server\server".

It now reads:

[options]
without_demo = False
unaccent = False
db_template = template1
db_password =openpgpwd
xmlrpcs = True
xmlrpcs_interface = 
syslog = False
logrotate = True

email_from = False
addons_path = C:\Program Files\OpenERP 7.0-20130305-002149\Server\server\openerp\addons

Is there anything else I need to edit in this file, or in another file?

I have since also gone through the "postgresql.conf", "pgpass.conf" and "pg_hba.conf" files, under the Openerp/Server/Postgresql/data folder; and editted any mention of localhost to "192.168.100.102". The ports I left unchanged.

Since then I have stopped and started the OpenERP Server process under services a few times, but as of now I can't reach my server through either adress. (localhost nor the fixed IP adress)

I'm not sure I'm going about this the right way, any feedback would be appreciated.

I have fixed my problem some time ago, I found it best to start from a fresh install. Leave all settings default, and start editting network settings once the server is already up and running.

My problem was related to compatibility issues from a previous postgresql installation. I searched my registry for all postgresql and openerp related keys, deleted them all - and then reinstalled postgresql and openerp completly. After initial configuration I was able to recover most of my dump files, and have been running without major problems so far.

If you can connect to your server from the local machine in a web browser pointed to localhost:8069 - Your problem is probably with windows firewall.

This Microsoft article gives some good details on how to open up a port in windows firewall - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308127

Configure Odoo

This is for 10, but will work for all versions

In C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 10.0\server

change (where your IP is 192.168.1.17 -- update accordingly)

db_host = localhost

to

db_host = 192.168.1.17


Configure PostgreSQL

In C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 10.0\PostgreSQL\data\pg_hba.conf

Add the following line

host    all             all             192.168.1.17/24            md5


Restart Server

Go to Windows Services and restart the following services:

  • odoo-server-10.0 10.0

  • PostgreSQL_For_Odoo - PostgreSQL Server 9.5

Test Firewall

go to http://192.168.1.17/ on your local device. It should work.

Then try on an external device on the internal network. If it fails on the external device, disable windows firewall and try again. If it works, then add an exception for C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 10.0\server\odoo-bin.exe

Do not change anything in the config files, that is completely unnecessary. The first thing you need to confirm is that you can access your openerp install by navigating to localhost:8069 - if you can do that then openerp does not need to be touched - it is a problem with your settings in windows

actually, changing "localhost" for the IP of the server in 2 places in that config file, fixed the problem :)

Indeed, I changed the host in the config file. Don't forget to check the postgresql config files from your Pgadmin client. Important to note is that you need to format the host as IP / subnetmask. For instance: 192.168.xxx.xxx/24.
