Summary

Hi,

I have tried to install ERP5 on my local machine which has CentOS 6. I have trying to create a new ERP site using the instructions given in http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/ERP5_Handbook/Lets_go...  but I have not been successful in creating the same. 

Is it really required to create a SlapOS node and then install ERP5 on top of it, to make it work?

Please advise.

Regards

Sachin

Hello,

Yes, it is strongly advised to use SlapOS to deploy any ERP5 nowadays.

Could you describe your problem?

Adding to what cedric said: If you only want to try ERP5 or learn how to use ERP5, we have a virtual machine: It is explained in theis course: http://www.osoe-project.org/lesson/osoe-Lecture.ERP.Configuration.Introduction

I might be asking some basic questions but I am not able to understand the reason of linking SlapOS to ERP5. As per your site "SlapOS is a decentralized Cloud Computing technology. It can automate the deployment and configuration of applications in a heterogeneous environment.". 

What if I have a company who does not require a cloud computing solution?  

The error which I am getting is as follows -

Hi,

using SlapOS doesn't mean that ERP5 has to run in the cloud. I have ERP5 installed on my Laptop with SlapOS as many others. You have to consider that ERP5 is a huge OpenSource System which builds upon dozens if not hundreds of independet other OpenSource projects. To assemble all this into a single system, compile it with each falvor and each version of each Operating System is a task where SlapOS excells and makes it much easier for big cloud environments as well as for personal computers or on site server installations. I agree, that there is a step to learn how it works and this is only in your favour as you need to think about a viable distribution mechanism for any serious business application implementation sooner or later anyway.

Thanks for the response and I have two queries on this response. I would appreciate if you can answer both of them. 

1) Does this mean that SlapOS is the only way to install the ERP5 system and are you indicating that I am not allowed to install it through RPM. If that is the decision, then, I will definitely again try to install it through SlapOS. Please advise. If installing through RPM is allowed then , I would like some guidance on overcoming the error which I have faced earlier

2) Also, if I have to install ERP5 using SlapOS, is there a document which you can share which indicates the steps to install ERP5 after installing SlapOS node. I have seen a document which tells about installing the SlapOS node at  http://community.slapos.org/wiki/developer-Installing.SlapOS.Package  but that does not tell me the method of installing ERP5

Hi,

1) Since ERP5 is entierly open source, you are of course allowed to install and us it how ever you wish as long as you respect the GPL. On the other hand, we can only help you, if you use the same methods as we use: Virtual Machine or SlapOs.2) You can use this document

 2) To install the software release, you can use the tutorial developer-Installing.KVM.Software.Release and select "ERP5" Version "slapos-0.117" instead of KVM. It will take several hours to compile. After you installed it, you have to make sure that you are logged in in ERP5, then you use the link on https://www.slapos.org/service-shortcut/erp5 to install the ERP5 Instance. If you are logged in in slapos, slapos will automatically find your computer where you installed the software release "ERP5 slapos-0.117"and install the software instance.

Kind Regards,

Checking slapos-node cron file: - ERROR - Your line for 'slapos node report' command does not seem right
Checking slapos-node cron file: - ERROR - Your line for 'slapos node instance' command does not seem right
Checking slapos-node cron file: - ERROR - Your line for 'slapos node software' command does not seem right

Can you please tell me the reason for the same?

Hello Sachin,

Could you show us the content of /etc/cron.d/slapos-node? There is a chance that this comes from old slapos version which works - but which isn't able to self-introspect its configuration. So there is a chance that everything works but that the tool for checking doesn't work well. :)

Hello,

Everything seems to be okay.

Indeed, after a change in the configuration, even in latest version, the slapos-test tool is not able to find that this is okay. So just ignore those 4 lines of error.

I'll update this tool now in the development version. 

Thanks for the information. I will move forward with the next steps and report back problems, if any.
