Odoo Autostart-Server

ODOO Auto-Start Server

1)  Locate openerp-server.conf file from odoo server files.

                Default path : /opt/openerp/server/install/openerp-server.conf

                Manual Search from terminal:

           locate openerp-server.conf

2)Open file and set following basic parameters for default configuration:

 [options]   
    ; This is the password that allows database operations:   
    ; admin_passwd = admin   
    db_host = False   
    db_port = False   
    db_user = odoo   
    db_password = False   
    dbfilter = .*  
    xmlrpc_port = 8069  
    addons_path = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openerp/addons  

  ; (Custom addons path can be added and separated by commas (,))  

3)Check your odoo server is running from above configured openerp-server.conf file.



4)  Create new script file named odoo-server.sh and place this in path /etc/init.d/
#!/bin/sh
