1、准备环境：

sudo apt-get install denyhosts
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo adduser --system --home=/opt/openerp --group openerp
sudo  passwd  openerp
sudo su - openerp -s /bin/bash
sudo apt-get install postgresql
sudo su - postgres  -c  "createuser --createdb --username postgres --no-createrole --no-superuser --pwprompt openerp"
sudo apt-get install python-dateutil python-feedparser python-gdata python-ldap python-libxslt1 python-lxml python-mako python-openid python-psycopg2 python-pybabel python-pychart python-pydot python-pyparsing python-reportlab python-simplejson python-tz python-vatnumber python-vobject python-webdav python-xlwt python-yaml python-zsi

#ubuntu 10.04提供的python-werkzeug版本太低了，导致启动OpenERP服务的时候出现严重问题，所以采用下面方法安装高版本：

sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install werkzeug

2、安装OpenERP 6.1.1

cd /tmp
wget http://nightly.openerp.com/6.1/releases/openerp-6.1-1.tar.gz
sudo su - openerp -s /bin/bash
tar  -zxf  /tmp/openerp-6.1-1.tar.gzcp -a openerp-6.1-1 server
sudo cp /opt/openerp/server/install/openerp-server.conf /etc/
sudo chown openerp: /etc/openerp-server.conf
sudo chmod 640 /etc/openerp-server.conf
sudo vim /etc/openerp-server.conf

[options]
; This is the password that allows database operations:
; admin_passwd = admin
db_host = False
db_port = False
db_user = openerp
db_password = 123456
logfile = /var/log/openerp/openerp-server.log

sudo  mkdir  /var/log/openerp
sudo chown openerp:root /var/log/openerp

3、启动服务并测试

sudo su - openerp -s /bin/bash -c /opt/openerp/server/openerp-server

浏览网址http://<ip>:8069/，应该能看到登陆界面了。

4、做服务启动脚本

把下述内容保存到/etc/init.d/openerp-server中或直接下载（http://www.veryopen.org/wp-content/uploads/openerp-server）

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/openerp-server
sudo chown root: /etc/init.d/openerp-server
sudo  update-rc.d openerp-server defaults

 

然后重启数据库，如果忘了openerp数据库用户的密码，那么使用命令修改：

alter  user openerp with password  'footbar';
