I set up Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (64 Bit) today and attempted to set up an Odoo development environment as described in the readme file (`wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/odoo/odoo/master/odoo.py | python`).

When I start the Odoo server  by executing `./openerp-server` in the terminal, the HTTP listens on local host on port 8069. When I try to access the web interface with Chromium or Firefox, a redirect to http://localhost:8069/web is performed which causes an internal server error: a 500 page displayed in the browser and this written in the console:
