>Description:
OpenERP :
The two following ports have stock misconfiguration issues that prevent the associated services from starting after the ports are
installed.
1) finance/openerp-server (6.0.3)
---------------------------------
* openerp-server will not start from scratch because of some postgresql-server requirements not being met, namely :
- postgresql <openerp role> (user) not created
- postgresql <openerp database> not created
* Once that corrected, there still remains a few issues with openerp-server rc script (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/openerpd) bearing discrepencies with main openerp-server configuration file (/usr/local/etc/openerp-server.conf) regarding pid and logs.
2) finance/openerp-web (5.0.11)
-------------------------------
* openerp-web (a web-server front-end proxy to openerp-server, allowing clients to connect thru a simple web-browser) will not start mainly because of a python library mismatch regarding py-cherrypy (needs to downgrade to cherrypy 3.1.2) and similar issues with pid and logs
>How-To-Repeat:
Install finance/openerp-server (6.0.3) and finance/openerp-web (5.0.11) from (stock) ports.
Then (as root), try :
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openerpd start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openerp-web start
Check that these services did not start with :
# ps -auxww | grep python
>Fix:
(See attached file)
I may suggest that a www/py-cherrypy-321 port be temporarily added using CherryPy-3.1.2.tar.gz until the problem with openerp-web.py is solved.
distinfo :
SHA256 (CherryPy-3.1.2.tar.gz) = 0dfd65507b047d54c09849e7a4b8bdd3616fa8776a5dbff7697cbf6ea1559bf6
SIZE (CherryPy-3.1.2.tar.gz) = 319196
In the meantime, please see the attached file for some workarounds regarding both openerp-server and openerp-web.
Not being a seasoned port maintainer, I will leave it up to the official maintainer to review and install these patches into the concerned mainstream ports.
The proposed patches have been extensively tested. They are reliable and they work perfectly for me in this (standard) FreeBSD configuration.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for more informations regarding this work.

Quick and dirty way to fix the current port based installation in order
to have openerp-web successfully start and run.
As root:
# Deinstall and reinstall CherryPy 3.1.2
cd /usr/ports/www/py-cherrypy
make deinstall
make
# Change Makefile PORTVERSION in Makefile to read 3.1.2
# download CherryPy-3.1.2.tar.gz to /usr/ports/distfiles
cat <<EOT >> distinfo

SIZE (CherryPy-3.1.2.tar.gz) = 319196
EOT
make install (will fail)
cd work/CherryPy-3.1.2
python setup.py -v install
# >>> That's all for cherrypy <<<
# Now fix openerp-web oprt install
# Save (patched) files
mv /usr/local/etc/openerp-web.conf \
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/openerp-web \
/usr/local/bin/openerp-web \
/usr/local/openerp-web/openerp-web.py \

cd /usr/ports/finance/openerp-web
make deinstall
# edit work/openerp-web-5.0.11/ so it reads :
make
# ...
# install_requires=[
# "CherryPy == 3.1.2",
# ...
make install (it will fail)
cd work/openerp-web-5.0.11
python setup.py -v install
# Reinstall files
cd /tmp
mv openerp-web.conf /usr/local/etc
mv openerp-web /usr/local/etc/rc.d
mv openerp-web /usr/local/bin/openerp-web
mkdir /usr/local/openerp-web
mv openerp-web.py /usr/local/openerp-web
# That's it!
# openerp-server and openerp-web service
# should now start as a dream
# with pids in /var/run/openerp
# and logs in /var/log/openerp.
# rc.d/openerp-server status and rc.d/openerp-web status
# will also now work.
