Did you use a pre-built RPM or DEB package from nightly.openerp.com? What OpenERP version are you talking about? When installing with those packages an init-script should have been installed automatically. When you tell me the name of the linux distribution you are using I might post a working init-script for you.

Thanks but the problème i have is this error "Failed to load server-wi$ The web module is provided by the addons found in the openerp-web project. Maybe you forgot to add those addons in your addons_path configuration." I do think the web addons is not loaded

...Well, a comment on the right answer, or at least tell to who you are speaking :)

Using the lp:anybox.recipe.openerp to deploy our openerp instances, we firstly started to use a daemon launcher before we droped it to use supervisor in our buildout recipe. So at that time, I created a merge proposal to add an init.d launcher on anybox recipe.

Here to start with something, you can find 2 templates used to generate the init.d file:

It should be easy for you to replace the variables to have a static daemon launcher.

Something like:

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
PYTPATH= /usr/bin/python
DAEMON= <project_path>/server/openerp-server
NAME=openerp-server
PID=<path_to_stock_pid_file>/run/<my_openerp>.pid
DESC=openerp-server-<project_name>
CONFIG= <config_path>/instance.ini
LOGFILE=<log_file_path>/log/server.log
USER=<my_user>

Just a little comment about gunicorn. It is only useful for version v6.1. In v7.0 you can use he built-in multicorn launched by default.

Hi,

"Failed to load server-wi$ The web module is provided by the addons found in the openerp-web project.

Maybe you forgot to add web addons in your addons_path in your openerp-server.conf file.

effectively your web addons are not loaded.

I think you used bazaar to download branch launchpad server addons and web, in this case, in your server config file, in options add line option in not yet done addons_path and add path to your web/addons and restart openerrp server.

example : addons_path = absolute_path/addons,absolute_path/web/addons Hope this will help.

Bye

Copy OpenERP configuration file to /etc

sudo cp /opt/openerp/v7/server/install/openerp-server.conf  /etc/openerp-server.conf

Change the file permissions and file ownership to the openerp user.

sudo chown openerp: /etc/openerp-server.conf

sudo chmod 640 /etc/openerp-server.conf

You can download this edited copy with the following command

sudo wget http://www.altinisik.net/openerp/openerp-server -O /etc/init.d/openerp-server

edit it.

vi /etc/init.d/openerp-server

And we just need to change the location of the daemon.

Make the init script executable.

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/openerp-server

have a test

sudo /etc/init.d/openerp-server stop

sudo /etc/init.d/openerp-server start

do not forget to add the addons_path in openerp-server.conf
