OperationalError: FATAL:  role "ghrix" does not exist

I haven't recognize this error. One more thing , I haven't edit OpenERP server configuration file . And if I have to edit this file then what are those changes.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This error indicates that OpenERP is trying to connect to the PostgreSQL database server using the "ghrix" user, which does not exist. This is probably the user under which you are starting the server. If you have created a special database user for OpenERP you need to specify it on the command-line using --db_user=DB_USER (and in that case you probably also need --db_host=localhost and --db-password=YOUR_PASSWORD ).
If you haven't created any database user yet, the easiest solution is probably to create one named ghrix , eg:

$ sudo su - postgres
$ createuser -s ghrix  # -s to make a super-user that can create DBs

Note: Use ./openerp-server --help to see all possible startup parameters for the OpenERP server. You can also put the command-line options in a config file: just execute

$ ./openerp-server -s

and then edit the sample config file that is created in $HOME/.openerp_serverrc

Answer 2

Even though the question has been answered, the following is a concise tutorial on installing a production grade OpenERP Server, that also explains how to set up the database, manage access rights and configure your OpenERP installation:

Answer 3

you should check two case

First case:

$ sudo su - postgres $ createuser -s ghrix

second case fill the db user and db password in

/odoo/debian/odoo.conf

run odoo with this parameter

./odoo-bin -c /opt/odoo/debian/odoo.conf
