Service preparation

• Execute the OpenERP service initialization script. Note: This step removes ALL OpenERP data, so never do it on a production server

  modularit-openerp-init.rb

• Now you can connect to OpenERP in: http://openerp:8080/

OpenERP initialization

You will have to create a new database using the wizard

• In the Web app login screen, press the "Databases" button
• Enter the required information.
  • The default Super admin password is admin. You can change it later
  • Enter the new database name (i.e. openerp)
  • Select if you want to load the demo data. You can create a database with demo data to test OpenERP, and later create a new ampty one for your usage
  • Type the password you want to setup for the admin user for the new password
• Follow the wizard to adapt the default config to your needs

When connecting to the OpenERP server you can choose the database to use
