I was able to successfully use this method for installing OpenERP in Ubuntu.
To install the Debian/Ubuntu package, add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb nightly.openerp.com/7.0/nightly/deb/ ./
And type: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install openerp
The service fires up great and I can access on port 8069.
But now I need to change the admin password and secure OpenERP so that people can't just get in and make their own databases. I have looked around but for the life of me I can't find the openerp-server.conf file.
I can't seem to find where you would pass the command paramters on in the start up to generate the config file. Is there someone that can help me out here?
