For verify if you're using correct username and password, please consult "openerp-server.conf" file (in Debian it's full path is: "/etc/openerp/openerp-server.conf", you've to find its equivalent on Ubuntu), where 'db_user' property will show you correct username. As password, please use one that allows you copy/drop/create databases in openerp "Manage Databases" page (This page is accessible in openerp login page, before you login to openerp).

Hi, Temur i already added in my pg_hba.conf (in my ubuntu server)on the most bottom the line host openerp 192.168.1.114/24 md5 (this is my ip in the ubuntu server) also i added another line host all all 192.168.1.114/24 md5 (restart my server , same error) also in my openerp-server.conf in the debian this is my configuration [options] ; This is the password that allows database operations: ; admin_passwd = admin db_host = False db_port = False db_user = openerp db_password = False ~ ~ i tried to change the db_password with 'admin' and when i tried it on pgAdmin3 with Host=localhost username=openerp password =admin , same error also when i run the openerp-server the logs says that openerp: database hostname:localhost openerp:database port:5432 openerp:database user: myuser why is it contradicting to the one in the openerp-server.conf?

in reply to your comment that the password that must be used is the one in odoo wherein it allows you copy/drop/create database. that password is 'admin' but in my openerp-server.conf the db_password=False why is it? what should i write in the pgAdmin3?

hi, 1) USERNAME... ; admin_passwd = admin above line starts with ';' (semicolon symbol), so this line is just a comment. the real passwor may be different, you do NOT need to change this line. you should consult "openerp-server.conf" only for username and the 'db_user' property gives you correct username that you have to use in pgadmin. 2) PASSWORD... The correct password you have to use is that you allows database operations in Openerp "Manage Databases" page. this page is accessible from login page of openerp (when you connect to your Openerp from browser, you can go to "Manage Databases" page before you login. and there if you create new database, you have to type password. AFAIK you set this password when you install openerp.) make sure you know correct password by creating new database from that page. If so, you know the password that you have to use in pgadmin. 3) ACCESS RULE... you need to add access rule in "pg_hba.conf" in a host you are connecting to (your Ubuntu server) for a machine FROM WHERE you are trying to connect. 192.168.1.114/24 is wrong entry. 192.168.1.114 -is your Ubuntu server IP, you have to use in this rule IP of your machine instead (IP of machine you are connecting from). and one more thing, if you prefer to use network mask: /24, then replace last number by zero: 192.168.1.0/24 4) make sure you ping 192.168.1.114 (virtual box, Ubuntu) from your machine, and oppositely, ping your machine from the Ubuntu. also check the type of network connection of Ubuntu virtual machine in a settings of your Ubuntu virtual machine (in virtualbox settings of Ubunty appliance). consider to using "bridged connection" as network connection type, if you have trouble to ping. (attention, verify IP after this change, it may be changed also) SUMMARY: lets say 'A' is machine you are connecting from. 'B' is machine you are connecting to (it's your virtual box Ubuntu) Then consult "openerp-server.conf" on machine 'B' for username. Add access rule in "pg_hba.conf" on machine 'B' and in this rule use IP of machine 'A' (or network of machine 'A'). As I guess , your error is using IP of machine B, instead of IP of machine A. For verify password, create/drop database from openerp "Manage Databases" page, if you can do these operations, then password you need is that you are typing in this page.
