My first attempt to install a module. In the process I've got an error:

socket.error: [Errno 98] Address already in use in OpenERP

Tried to solve like this:

ps aux | grep openerp 
sudo kill -9 procees id
sudo /etc/init.d/openerp-server restart (=> this doesn't work)

Now I get an other error OperationalError: FATAL: role "root" does not exist and the website is down.

Can someone help me out?

Did you find a solution to your problems? First troubleshooting step would be to login as your odoo user and try running odoo from the command prompt with logging:

odoo # odoo --loglevel=debug

Then try browsing again...

 500 internal server error (Linux)

OperationalError: FATAL: role "root" does not exist

You find this error in file : /var/log/postgrsql/postgrsql-10-main.log (on linux system)

The solution may be :

    1- Open Terminal and enter => sudo su postgres
    2- Enter password for postgres System user (if it is necessary)
    3- createuser root -s
    4- psql template1
    5- alter role root with password 'yourpassword';
    6- \q
    7- exit
    8- service odoo restart

Now try again to localhost:8069

Dennis,

You have to create user role for postgres.

sudo -u postgres createuser -s username
 
sudo su postgres
psql
alter user username with password 'password';
\q
exit

This doesn't work. I get error: could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied.

I'm logged in to the server as root. Does that has something to do with it?

Do I have to change 'username' in the commando?

Or do I prompt the commando somewhere else? (in odoo.py?)

As you can see I'm new to this so I really don't now where to start.. I've tried numerous things but all I get are errors.
