Configure odoo on an Azure Ubuntu Server

Steps to configure odoo on an Azure Ubuntu Server

In the following steps replace "http://aspenwareerp.cloudapp.net" with the name of your azure server.

Step 1) Create a PuTTY session to the Ubuntu Server
Step 2) Install and configure odoo from github
Step 3) Open up azure endpoint for port 8069
Step 4) Open browser and connect to the odoo server

Step 1) Create a PuTTY session to the Ubuntu Server

• Go to http://www.putty.org/ and download putty.exe for your windows client
• Execute putty and put in the host name (get from windows azure desktop - "DNS NAME")
• Login to server

Step 2) Install and configure odoo from github

Follow the 11 simple steps outlined in this blog entry by Vimal Rughani.  Step 8 in the blog ends in error about the odoo user which is ok.  Step 9 is "cd odoo" in this configuration.  Step 11 cannot be done until we open up the Azure port 8069.

Copy each of the commands into the terminal as they show in the blog and execute.  Be patient, some of the commands take a while to execute.

This installs the needed python, postgres, and odoo software to run the odoo server.

execute each of the commands in the blog.

note:   $ sudo apt-get install git

Make sure and go to the odoo directory ($ cd ~/odoo) and start the server ($ ./openerp_server).

Step 3) Open up azure endpoint for port 8069

Step 4) Open browser and connect to the odoo server

browse to http://aspenwareerp.cloudapp.net:8069/
