Running Tryton on Ubuntu
Bob W
the Synaptic package manager. I installed Tryton and Postgresql, but
have been unable to get past the login screen. On the Database: line,
it says "Could not connect to server!". I have been able to go into
the postgresql user and create and drop databases, so I know
Postgresql is available.
I've spent two days trying to find a solution, and have gotten
nowhere. Any help would be appreciated.

The following command:
"netstat -lpn |grep python"
should give you a list of all python program that are listening on a
port. By default Trytond listen on 8070. If you don't find it, this
means that the server has not been launched.
Actually, "ps aux |grep trytond" should also tell if the server is running.
Another possible problem is that the user that is running the tryton
server is not allowed to create databases (the "ps aux.." command gives
you which user is running the server).

OK, I added the deb repository to Synaptic as indicated at
http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/tryton-server/download
and downloaded Tryton 1.4. I get exactly the same result. It seems
to me that Tryton is not
finding the connection to Postgresql. What can I do to sort that out.

netstat gives me
tcp6 0 0 :::8070 :::*
LISTEN 9678/python
ps gives me
tryton 9678 0.0 3.7 53016 18624 ? Sl 14:52 0:01 /usr/
bin/python /usr/bin/trytond --config=/etc/trytond.conf --logfile=/var/
log/trytond.log
I changed the port to localhost 9678 although I'm not sure that's
correct. It didn't help.

No, 9678 is the process id of the server.
The port is 8070.
Do you still have "Could not connect to server!" in the client?
Do you have any firewall that is running and that could block local
connection to port 8070?
Is there something in /var/log/trytond.log?

OK, I got it working!!! I had to create user tryton in Postgresql
first. Now I'm up to "Welcome to the module
configuration wizard!" and on my way.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm now running 1.4 instead of 1.2 thanks

ftr: which is documented in /usr/share/tryton-server/README.Debian,
which you're prompted to read during installation of tryton-server.

Apparently I didn't get that prompt when I used Synaptic for
installation.

you do unless you klick the 'show details' away.

I'm curious. Isn't it common on Debian to do all the preparations when
installing a module. I personally would expect the user is added to the
server automatically. (But this would not be the first point where
Debian an me are incompatible ;-)

there are two cases where debian doesn't do that:
* if it's not possible to setup a sane 'default' system because the
defaults do vary from each and every installation (not such things
like ip or passwords that can be asked through debconf)
* if the maintainer(s) did not have had the time yet to properly
implement the setup with debconf.
for tryton, the latter is the case. using debconf to setup dbs in a
policy conformant way is not that trivial, and dbconfig-common is a bit
underdocumented to be used easily without prior experience.
if you want to help on getting it done, you're most welcome.

IC. This is a common problem for all distributions.
