- How do I connect to the UniField interface?
- Use a web browser like Firefox, and enter in the address field, the IP of the machine running UniField and the port 8061: e.g. http://IpAddress:8061
- I know the UniField address and port of the local instance, I can connect locally using localhost instead of the IP address but I cannot connect remotely.
- Check if the Web port 8061 is opened in Windows Firewall. Refer to the installation procedure to know how to open it.
- I cannot connect locally to UniField with http://localhost:8061, what should I do?
- Maybe the default port has been changed by your OC. Check the value of “server.socket_port = PPPP” in the file
C:\Program Files (x86)\msf\Unifield\Web\conf\openerp-web.cfg
If instead of PPPP there is a value such as 80, then try to connect to http://localhost:80
If it still does not connect, check if the OpenERP services are running: click on the Windows logo.
In the “Search program and files” field, enter “services” and click on “services” in the options suggested
Check the status for OpenERP Server, OpenERP Web and Postgres. If they are not started, start them. - I know the web port of my local instance is correct and the firewall authorized the access to that port and yet, I get an error “Unable to connect. Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at […]”
- The web service may be down. Check if the OpenERP services are running:
Click on the Windows logo
In the “Search program and files” field, enter “services” and click on “services” in the options suggested
Check the status for OpenERP Server, Postgres. If they are not started, start them. - I’m connected to the UniField interface but when I try to log in, no database appears in the drop down list
- It seems the OpenERP server process cannot connect to the database. On Linux, it needs a local user while on Windows OpenERP needs a login and a password to connect to PostgreSQL. Have they been changed since the installation? If you backed up the configuration files right after the installation, you could have a look in those. Otherwise, if you did change the password intentionally, you need to update the OpenERP server configuration file. The path can be found in the “Backing up and Restoring” documentation.
- Can I make certain users log in to certain instances by default?
- You can help them to make a bookmark on their computer that makes their preferred instance the default. First, have them log out from Unifield. Navigate to the login page, and note that in the URL bar there is something like
http://unifield/openerp/login?db=&user=
You can edit this to include the database name you want between the db= and the &, for example:
http://unifield/openerp/login?db=HQ1&user=finref
Hit return to test that the database popup is set like you want. Then make a bookmark. The bookmark will include the preferred database that you just set in the URL.
