OpenERP requires a user not to be a root to start. You should consider creating a special system user, that will be running that application and has rights to access Postgresql. Chekc out the guide at http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2012/12/how-to-install-openerp-7-0-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/.

Gustavo · Answer

You have to install openerp under another user, such as openerp. You have to:

install necessary packages
create openerp user
create directory where you will install openerp
grant rwx permissions to the openerp user
install openerp under the openerp user
finally, run openerp with the openerp user
