Hello, I'm Georges Khaznadar, teacher in lycée Jean Bart, Dunkerque. One colleague of mine, Colette Talleu, asked me to install a free/libre ERP to use to teach economics and management to her students, so I put her in contact by calling Jean-Paul.

A little later I got two important informations from Jean-Paul:

1. create an entry in the forum, a first post to embed further discussions
2. install the debian package for erp5 in our dedicated server at OVH (www.lyceejeanbart.fr), which is running debian (squeeze+wheezy currently), then ask for an instance of ERP5 at slapos.org

I go further, thank you in advance for fixes if I understood something wrong.

A good way to get an ERP5 Instance for education and learn how it can be used for classes is to follow this university course:

 http://www.osoe-project.org/lesson/osoe-Lecture.ERP.Configuration.Introduction

I used this to give classes at TU Dresden, and this december I will give a class at Telecom Bretagne using this course material. At the very moment, there is only one problem: There are not enough free servers at vifib, to install ERP5. So, if you want to start quickly, I can provide space on my own server for you - then your ERP5 instance will be automatically installed on my server, you will not notice any difference.

If you are interested, send me an email to klaus <at> nexedi <dot> com  

Sorry, I did not correctly read your first message: Of course the most flexible way is to have ERP5 with slapos on your own server, my offer to provide my server for your instance was just in case you want to try it out before doing a complete instllation.

In order to use your own private cloud with slapos you can follow this tutorial:

http://community.slapos.org/wiki/osoe-Lecture.SlapOS.Extended

specifically:

• Install SlapOS from packages

  How to install SlapOS nodes

• How to make some software available for your SlapOS Node : In this tutorial use ERP5 instead of kvm. I recommend  ERP5 Release (Slapos-0.117) which works very well with the class material is recommended you before

• How to create an ERP5 instance with SlapOS,

  From there one you should continue with the mentioned OSOE tutorials:

Thank you for the hints, Klaus.

 I began the installation of the debian package, coming from

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/VIFIBnexedi/Debian_6.0

unfortunately, my serveur already uses LDAP services, and the already installed package slapd, which come from Debian, already provides a file /usr/bin/slaptest, which conflicts with a file provided by the package slapos-node.

What would you propose in such a case? I suppose that the simplest way to fix it is to get the source of the package and change the spurious filename, and every invokation of it by other files.

Best regards,                            Georges.

 In this case I would follow this tutorial instead:

How to install SlapOS nodes form Source

I installed SlapOS form source myself and did not have any problems

@ slapos team: Will there be a new debian build which will not overlap with http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/slapd  ?

I got the source package (apt-get source slapos-node) an recompiled it for an amd64 architecture, after modifying a few things (slaptest becomes slapostest). The new build yelded http://www.lyceejeanbart.fr/~georgesk/slapos-node/slapos-node_0.29+0.126+0+nmu1_amd64.deb

The diff is very simple : renamed slaptest to slapostest, and changed /slaptest/slapostest/

in files slapostest and Makefile.

The new package was installed seamlessly, I can keep slaposd.

Best regards,                              Georges.

Please use .deb packages which are provided here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/VIFIBnexedi/

Debian packages part of squeeze/testing of standard debian sources are not supported officially and only for testing. You should expect various issues from those packages and be ready to fix them.

Packages from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/VIFIBnexedi/ are those which are used in production by SlapOS team and are kept up to date.
