OpenERP Server / Client start up 2

sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 restart
sudo vi /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf
ps uaxww | grep -i openerp

sudo lsof -i :8069

sudo lsof -i :8070

sudo -i -u postgres openerp-server

OpenERP Server / Client start up

The PostgreSQL database starts automatically and listens locally on port 5432 as standard: check this by entering sudo netstat -anpt at a terminal to see if port 5432 is visible there.
The database system has a default role of postgres accessible by running under the Linux postgres user: check this by entering

sudo su postgres -c psql

at a terminal to see the psql startup message – then type \q to quit the program.
Start the Open ERP server from the postgres user (which enables it to access the PostgreSQL database) by typing

sudo su postgres -c openerp-server
If you try to start the Open ERP server from a terminal but get the message

socket.error: (98, 'Address already in use')

then you might be trying to start Open ERP while an instance of Open ERP is already running and using the sockets that you’ve defined (by default 8069 and 8070).

If that’s a surprise to you then you may be coming up against a previous installation of Open ERP or Tiny ERP, or something else using one or both of those ports.

# Type

sudo netstat -anpt

to discover what is running there, and record the PID

# You can check that the PID orresponds to a program you can dispense with by typing

ps aux | grep 1377

# and you can then stop the program from running by typing

sudo kill 1377

You need additional measures to stop it from restarting when you restart the server.
The Open ERP server has a large number of configuration options. You can see what they are by starting the server with the argument –help By efault the server configuration is stored in the file .terp_serverrc in the user’s home directory (and for the postgres user that directory is /var/lib/postgresql .
You can delete the configuration file to be quite sure that the Open ERP server is starting with just the default options. It is quite common for an upgraded system to behave badly because a new version server cannot work with options from a previous version. When the server starts without a configuration file it will write a new one once there is something non-default to write to it – it will operate using defaults until then.
To verify that the system works, without becoming entangled in firewall problems, you can start the Open ERP client from a second terminal window on the server computer (which doesn’t pass through the firewall). Connect using the XML-RPC protocol on port 8069 or NET-RPC on port 8070. The server can use both ports simultaneously. The window displays the log file when the client is started this way.
The client setup is stored in the file .terprc in the user’s home directory. Since a GTK client can be started by any user, each user would have their setup defined in a configuration file in their own home directory.
You can delete the configuration file to be quite sure that the Open ERP client is starting with just the default options. When the client starts without a configuration file it will write a new one for itself.
The web server uses the NET-RPC protocol. If a GTK client works but the web server doesn’t then the problem is either with the NET-RPC port or with the web server itself, and not with the Open ERP server.

Hint

One server for several companies

You can start several Open ERP application servers on one physical computer server by using different ports. If you have defined multiple database roles in PostgreSQL, each connected through an Open ERP instance to a different port, you can simultaneously serve many companies from one physical server at one time.

PostgreSQL Commands

Reference : http://www.linuxweblog.com/blogs/sandip/20101203/listing-directories-tree-format

Create db user and grant permission to create databases.

# adduser <dbuser>

# su - postgres

$ createuser -d -S -R <dbuser>

simple commands for administering the database. Hopefully these notes will help as reference when working with PostgreSQL:

Login as "postgres" (SuperUser) to start using database:
```
# su - postgres
```
Create a new database:
```
$ createdb mydb
```
Drop database:
```
$ dropdb mydb
```
Access database:
```
$ psql mydb
```
Get help:
```
mydb=# \h
```
Quit:
```
mydb=# \q
```
Read command from file:
```
mydb=# \i input.sql
```
To dump a database:
```
$ pg_dump mydb > db.out
```
To reload the database:
```
$ psql -d database -f db.out
```

Dump all database:

# su - postgres
# pg_dumpall > /var/lib/pgsql/backups/dumpall.sql

Restore database:

# su - postgres
# psql -f /var/lib/pgsql/backups/dumpall.sql mydb

Show databases:
```
#psql -l
or
mydb=# \l;
```
Show users:
```
mydb=# SELECT * FROM "pg_user";
```
Show tables:
```
mydb=# SELECT * FROM "pg_tables";
```

Set password:

mydb=# UPDATE pg_shadow SET passwd = 'new_password' where usename = 'username';

Clean all databases (Should be done via a daily cron):
```
$ vacuumdb --quiet --all
```
DROP TABLE name [, ...] [ CASCADE ]
DROP TABLE removes tables from the database. Only its owner may destroy a table. To empty a table of rows, without destroying the table, use DELETE.
DROP TABLE always removes any indexes, rules, triggers, and constraints that exist for the target table. However, to drop a table that is referenced by a view or a foreign-key constraint of another table, CASCADE must be specified. CASCADE will remove a dependent view entirely, but in the foreign-key case it will only remove the foreign-key constraint, not the other table entirely.
Add the below line to /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf to make postgresql database listen to external connections:

How can I make my blog load faster?

Reference : http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=42394

The speed at which your blog loads is critical to attracting more readers to your blog. If your blog takes a long time to load, many readers may leave your blog before they have the chance to read it. Here are a few tips and tricks that will help your blog load faster and attract more users:

Posts

Your blog's load time can be affected by the number of posts you display on your main page. You can easily edit the number of posts displayed of the main page from the Settings | Formatting tab. You can then select the number of posts you want to display on the main page. We recommend displaying 10 or fewer posts on the main page.

Third Party JavaScript and Links

For optimal blog load speed, we recommend using Google/Blogger widgets, JavaScipt and links. However, if you need to use third party JavaScipt and links, your blog will load much faster if you put all JavaScript at the bottom of your blog. If you have third party JavaScript and links in your sidebar, put them in at the bottom of the sidebar.

Install Y PPA Manager

Reference : http://www.webupd8.org/2011/01/y-ppa-manager-004-released-with-new.html

Y PPA Manager is a GUI tool to add, remove, purge, list and search for Launchpad PPAs.

Today I've released a new Y PPA Manager version that adds a new feature: deep search. The regular Y PPA Manager search displays all the PPAs that the Launchpad search returns for the word you search for - that includes PPAs that don't have packages for your Ubuntu version, PPAs that only have the searched keyword in the description as well as PPAs in which that package was available but it has been removed recently.

The new "deep search" works like this:

it scans all the PPAs returned by the Launchpad search and only displays the PPAs that have the exact package you've searched for available at the time you've performed the search
the Y PPA Manager displays the exact version for the package you've searched for as well as the PPA in which that package can be found in one place so you don't have to check the packages in each PPA to know the version of the packages returned by the search
"deep search" will only return packages available for your Ubuntu version (or whatever version you've specified in the config file)

Please note that the "deep search", just like the regular search makes use of the Launchpad PPA search so if Launchpad doesn't find a certain PPA, Y PPA Manager won't list it either. There's nothing I can do about this.

But enough talk. Here is a screenshot with an example Y PPA Manager deep search results for "nautilus":

As you can see, the old regular search actions are still available: you can add the PPA, perform a new search or list the packages in a PPA to get a better idea of what's inside that PPA:

Because of the way the "deep search" works, it takes more then a regular search to complete so you may still use the regular search for quicker results. Also, you must enter the exact package name when using the "deep search" feature. But of course, the results will be more accurate and it's a lot easier to see the version (no extra clicks required) using the deep search.

Install Y PPA Manager

Try it for yourself! Add the Y PPA Manager PPA and install it in Ubuntu Karmic, Lucid, Maverick and Natty (also works in Linux Mint) using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install y-ppa-manager

Oh, there's one more feature I've implemented a while back but I forgot to tell you about it: when adding a PPA using Y PPA Manager, the GPG key is imported on port 80 so if you're behind a firewall you won't get GPG key errors anymore (this only works for the new PPAs you add - for the already added PPAs, use Lauchpad Getkeys)!

For more info on Y PPA Manager, see THIS post and the Y PPA Manager Launchpad page. A video with Y PPA Manager is available in THIS post.

LibreOffice Ubuntu PPA makes installation easy

Want to easily try out the latest development builds of OpenOffice-fork LibreOffice?

Well now you can thanks to a dedicated LibreOffice packaging PPA for Ubuntu users.

Bye bye .deb downloading

Up until now users have had to install via oh-so-not-so-painful task of downloading a bunch of .debs files. The manual approach to installing updates has meant many users are running older version, unaware of subsequent releases.

Adding a PPA ensures you are notified of pending updates whilst offering the ability to upgrade easily.

Download

The PPA provides packages for Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04 users. Whilst LibreOffice has yet to make a stable release it is currently at release candidate stage.

To add the PPA and install LibreOffice RC2 run the command below in a new Terminal session: -

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice

Now to make it look, well, nice under your desktop enviroment.

Ubuntu users should also run

Installing Tomcat 6 on Ubuntu - How-To Geek

How To Install Alfresco Community 3.3 On Ubuntu Server 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

Installing Tomcat 7 on Ubuntu « Eager to Code, Enjoy to Debug ~ Embark into Each Stage with Your Heart

I just followed the steps provided by this site to install Tomcat 7 on Ubuntu:

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/installing-tomcat-6-on-ubuntu/

Please remember to change the location or the site where you want to download Tomcat 7 as the provided URL is for Tomcat 6. This also depends which beta version that you are trying to install as well. You can refer to this page about this version and copy the URL and use it with the wget command. For example, I’m downloading v7.0.4-beta and the command that I’m using is:
sudo wget http://apache.hoxt.com/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.4-beta/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.4.tar.gz
Everything is working fine except when I tried to configure the Tomcat in Eclipse, I encountered a failure to start the server:

Could not load the Tomcat server configuration at /Servers/Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost-config. The configuration may be corrupt or incomplete.

If compare with the projects that I had copied from the previous laptop, I should have the following files in the /Servers/ Server at localhost-config:

catalina.policy
catalina.properties
context.xml
server.xml
tomcat-users.xml
web.xml

When I checked my current Eclipse workspace, the listed files do not exist in the intended directory. To resolve the problem, you need to copy those files from /usr/local/tomcat/conf directory to the intended location:

yee@chimney:/usr/local/tomcat/conf$ ls -la
total 100
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-10-15 07:27 .
drwxrwxr-x 9 root root 4096 2010-10-24 12:46 ..
-rw——- 1 root root 10650 2010-10-15 07:27 catalina.policy
-rw——- 1 root root 4990 2010-10-15 07:27 catalina.properties
-rw——- 1 root root 1394 2010-10-15 07:27 context.xml
-rw——- 1 root root 3152 2010-10-15 07:27 logging.properties
-rw——- 1 root root 6268 2010-10-15 07:27 server.xml
-rw——- 1 root root 1530 2010-10-15 07:27 tomcat-users.xml

yee@chimney:/usr/local/tomcat/conf$ sudo cp * /home/yee/eclipseWorkspace/Servers/Tomcat\ v7.0\ Server\ at\ localhost-config/

Also, remember to change the permission for all the files else you will still encounter the error such as:

Could not read file: /home/yee/eclipseWorkspace/Servers/Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost-config/server.xml.
/home/yee/eclipseWorkspace/Servers/Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost-config/server.xml (Permission denied)

Web Services Demystified

By Kevin Yank

February 27th, 2002

Reader Rating: 8.5

Page: 1 2 3 Next

Web services: they're the latest buzzword on the block. If you believe what you read in the glossy trade press, not to mention Microsoft's $200 million .NET advertising campaign, Web services are (in no particular order):

Your new best friend
The saviour of your business
The doom of your business
The next generation of the World Wide Web

None of this really tells you how they work or what they do for you, though. To make matters worse, Web services come with a plethora of snappy acronyms that don't mean a whole heck of a lot at first glance either:

SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol
WSDL: Web Service Description Language
UDDI: Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration
XML: Extensible Markup Language

Using the Mozilla SOAP API - O'Reilly Media

Using the Mozilla SOAP API

by Scott Andrew LePera and Apple Developer Connection
08/30/2002

Introduction

Although still in its infancy, the age of Web services and SOAP has already created a demand for a wide array of client technologies. A search for "SOAP client" turns up myriad implementations for C++, Perl, .NET, PHP, and Java. If you dig a little deeper, you can even find clients for languages such as Ruby, Python and Tcl. Most of these clients operate at the server level, either as middleware or as a component of a larger system.

Web browsing clients have traditionally been left out of this loop, however, since composing SOAP messages and connecting with Web services was better suited to server-based applications tailored specifically for those tasks.

The XPToolkit

XPCOM is a cross platform component object model, similar to Microsoft COM. It has multiple language bindings, letting the XPCOM components be used and implemented in JavaScript, Java, and Python in addition to C++. Interfaces in XPCOM are defined in a dialect of IDL called XPIDL.

XPCOM itself provides a set of core components and classes, e.g. file and memory management, threads, basic data structures (strings, arrays, variants), etc. The majority of XPCOM components are not part of this core set and is provided by other parts of the platform (e.g. Gecko or Necko) or by an application or even by an extension.

Getting started with PyXPCOM, Part 2

Accessing objects as a client

Summary: Cross-platform component object model (XPCOM) is the component system developed in the Mozilla project. ActiveState has developed an open-source Python library for XPCOM. This three-part series provides a developer's introduction to XPCOM programming in Python. This second part covers the use of PyXPCOM as a client to XPCOM objects.

XUL 1.0

2 Layout and Positioning

2.1 The Box Layout System

View the remaining XUL1.0 box compliance issues in Bugzilla.

The box is one of the fundamental building blocks of XUL. Nearly all of the elements in XUL are boxes. Boxes are containers that define the layout of controls within a XUL document. Boxes lay out their children using a constraint-based system that supports both relative flexible sizing and intrinsic sizing.

In CSS, an inline box can be specified using the 'display' property with a value of inline-box. A block-level box can be specified with a value of box.

The 'float' property does not apply to children of box elements.

[Editor's Note: The following sections introduce new CSS properties that can be used with boxes. Because these properties are not yet part of any CSS standard, they are prefaced with '-moz-' in Mozilla. To use 'box-orient' in Mozilla, for example, you would actually type '-moz-box-orient'.]

MozGlade FAQ

MozGlade

This document contains: * What /is/ MozGlade * Using MozGlade * Building MozGlade --------------- As I'm sure you're wondering (because I get this question a lot): What /is/ MozGlade? MozGlade is a project to add a simple, easy-to-configure user interface on top of web browser engines. It was conceived because I need the browsing capabilities of Mozilla, but detest its large, slow interface (this interface is improving in the latest versions of Mozilla, but there are still other issues). The user interface is designed with the GUI builder Glade. The file that Glade outputs to describe the UI is then used by libglade at runtime to actually build the UI. This means (among other things) that if you want to redesign the interface, you can, easily. You can use Glade to build a new UI, then just point MozGlade at the new file. No recompilation is necessary. --------------- Using MozGlade. After installing, there's only one real requirement: setting MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME. This is something the embedded gtk widget depends upon, not MozGlade itself. However, if you don't set it, MozGlade will die with a segfault (technically the embedded widget dies with a segfault, but it's the same effect). The value to which you should set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME depends on your configuration, but it is the same value to which it should be set for Mozilla. As far as the browsing things are concerned, this /is/ mozilla. --------------- Building MozGlade. First, make sure you have everything you need: Mozilla (either m15 or m16/cvs; if you use m15, see below), libgtkembedmoz (the mozilla/gtk embedded widget), gtkmozembed.h (header for said widget), libglade, libglade-devel, libxml and libxml-devel (libglade requires these), and about 1MB of drive space. libglade and libxml do not depend on Gnome but are distributed as part of Gnome. Libglade takes advantage of gnome widgets with a separate library. libxml doesn't depend on Gnome; rather, most of Gnome depends on libxml. If you want to build against m15, the first thing you'll notice is that the gtk/mozilla embedded widget isn't built by default. So if you just grabbed a binary tarball of m15, and it doesn't contain the widget (most don't; the only notable exception is the one I tossed on alphalinux.org), you're pretty much screwed. You have the option of building m15 for yourself, or grabbing m16. You might as well grab m16, 'cuz the m15 embedded widget is ... barely usable. You don't get much beyond basic browsing. If you want to build against m16, things are easier (unless you're running Linux/Alpha, in which case mozilla/m16 doesn't run right). For starters, the embedded widget is built by default, so you can grab almost any pre-built package and use it. Need Mozilla RPMS? Check Chris Blizzard's site: http://people.redhat.com/blizzard/software/RPMS/. Everything you need should be in those packages. Pointing to Mozilla: If you installed some pre-built package, you probably don't need to worry about this. Most such packages will install things into standard locations which will be found by the compiler and linker automatically. But if for some reason these aren't found automatically (e.g., if you're like me and have mozilla stuff scattered all over your hard drives), you need to tell configure and make where to find things. The easiest way to help configure is to point it at your mozilla distribution tree. For example, when I build MozGlade, I use the command './configure --with-mozilla=/mnt/sda5/mozilla-m15/dist'. Note the 'dist' at the end there -- you're not pointing it at the top of your mozilla tree, you're pointing it at the top of your mozilla distribution. You're pointing it at the location of mozilla's "bin" and "lib" directories, to be precise. If you point it to MOZILLADIR, then MOZILLADIR/bin should contain 'mozilla-config', which will take care of the rest. Mozilla's components are shared libraries, and the embedded gtk widget depends upon them. In addition to telling configure where these things are located, the linker needs to know. How to handle this depends on your compiler and linker. For me, it means I have to set 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/sda5/mozilla/dist/bin'. Last but not least, you need to set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME. But we already discussed that. Good luck. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, send 'em my way or the way of the MozGlade lists. - Bibek
