Topic: Problems installing OpenERP in SME Server 7.4

[liebana]

Hello!

I'm trying to install OpenERP in Sme Server 7.4 and I'm a little bit stuck doing it. Please, I need help!! Please, be aware that I'm far from being a Linux expert...

Ok, I'm using this guide for CentOS 5.2 (that I thought it was supposed to work fine!) that I found here http://feeds.feedburner.com/OpenErpInstallationOnCentos52 (the blog it's referred to can only be accesed with invitation)

1.     Enable EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) Repository

o rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-2.noarch.rpm

2.     Install dependencies

         1. yum install subversion
         2. yum install bzr
         3. yum install vim-enhanced.x86_64
         4. yum install python-psycopg2.x86_64
         5. yum install pytz.noarch
         6. yum install python-psycopg2
         7. yum install PyXML.x86_64
         8. yum install mx.x86_64
         9. yum install libxslt-python.x86_64
        10. yum install python-imaging.x86_64
        11. rpm -i python-psycopg-1.1.21-7.el5.kb.x86_64.rpm
                * Reference centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/x86_64/RPMS/python-psycopg-1.1.21-7.el5.kb.x86_64.rpm
                * http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=3&search=python-psycopg&srodzaj=3
        12. yum install pygtk2.x86_64
        13. yum install python-matplotlib
        14. yum install TurboGears

3.     Build Repository file pgdg-82-centos.repo

         1. wget http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/reporpms/8.2/pgdg-centos-8.2-4.noarch.rpm

                + Reference http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/reporpms/repoview/letter_p.group.html

         1. rpm -i pgdg-centos-8.2-4.noarch.rpm
         2. move pgdg-82-centos.repo it to /etc/yum.repos.d

4.     Install PostgreSQL 8.2

    * yum install postgres
    * yum install postgresql-server.x86_64
    * service postgresql initdb

First step goes ok, but in the second, when I execute the commands I receive always this messages:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

PS: Try OpenERP (www.openERP.com), maybe the best ERP Open Source! And it's about to be launched the version 5, with a lot of improvements!

Hi

you are trying to install something for Centos 5.2 on SME that is based on Centos 4.7.. I doubt it will work;
and, of course,it will break your server.

Mmm... I thought it was 5.2 based! Thank you very much for the info and the quick reply!

What can I do now? I think I'd have to get rid of SME Server... and I don't want that!

you have 2 options:
- try (and debug) SME 8, which is Centos 5.2 based.. NOTE: SME 8 is in beta state, so it is not for production
- use SME 7.4 as your mail/file server and install a minimal Centos 5.2 for openerp

Ciao

I think I'll try SME Server 8 then! I'm making test in our preproduction environment so no problem at all!

Thanl you very much!
