I downloaded a copy of the Windows .exe for Version 10.0e to evaluate locally before rolling out on our server (we already have an Enterprise contract), and after a completed installation I immediately get a "localhost refused to connect" error in my browser when the install tries to navigate to localhost:8069. From what I've read, this may be an error with Postgres refusing the connection due to password problems or incorrect service user?

When I look at which services are running, PostgreSQL_for_Odoo is running fine, but odoo-server-10.0 will not start (saying "The system cannot find the file specified").

Thanks in advance.

Hello Artem,

Thanks for your tip. I didn't change the default directory (Program Files (x86)\Odoo 10.0e), but the registry entry did still contain the directory of a previous installation (which I had already uninstalled and removed the directories for). Unfortunately, even after correcting the value and restarting, localhost refuses to connect.

Is the error still the same?

If so check file permission, path, policies.

On my computer 10.0 works.

Let me guess you have changed the default installation directory?

If so change the odoo service setting in the registry of 'ImagePath' in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Services\odoo-server-10.0

Did you stopped the firewall ?... it's a usual error. First stop it, try to access Odoo and then open the port in the firewall.

his is supposed to be a comment but you need 8 karma for that and I'm new to this forum. Artem's answer worked for me too! Thanks!!   Just wanted to give a step by step fix in Windows 10. 

  • Open Services (by clicking Start and writing Services)

  • Find the odoo service, verify that it is not running and press Start. You should  get the error message.

  • Open RegEdit (click the Start button and write regedit) and navigate to
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Services\odoo-server-10.0

  • Double click on odoo-server-10.0

  • Change the path to: (including quotes)
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 10.0e\service\win32_service.exe"
    and click OK

  • Go back to services and click start. Everything should now be OK.
