9. • Save the file (ESC :x)
Check if the server works
• sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/odoo-server

You should now be able to view the logfile and see that
the server has started
• less /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log

10. and check it using your brwoser and go to: http://[ip or dns name of
server]:8069 You should see the login screen or database creation of
OpenERP Change the (super)admin password of openerp. Click on Manage
Databases (perhaps you’re already here). Change the password. It adds the
password in plain text in the /etc/odoo-server.conf file, that’s why we changed the
permissions on this file!
Stop the server
• sudo /etc/init.d/odoo-server stop
Automatic Startup and Shutdown
• sudo update-rc.d odoo-server defaults
If you reboot the server everything should be working.
