Hi Godin,

I'm new to odoo and have just successfully installed odoo under Ubuntu in Oracle Virtual Box (virtual machine), which is running under windows 8. Luckily, everything is fine by using the application. 

Your tutorial is great, thanks a lot. I followed your example code (copied below) to practice. Unfortunately, the PHP program stopped at this statement "$connexion = new xmlrpc_client($server_url . "/xmlrpc/common");". And there were no error messages shown at all. 

Can you provide further help?

1. Are there any error messages to trace what happen?

2. Are there any system settings in odoo before I can use PHP XML-RPC?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
