Odoo [Errno 98] Address already in use

by | May 27, 2015 | Linux, Odoo

Sometimes you may encounter an error in development or production [Errno 98] Address already in use.
This error is due to openerp-service or some other service already use port defined in your Odoo config.
You could try to change the port 8069 to any other port  and restart the server but that’s not the right way.

Just apply the command

1 Lines
sudo ps aux | grep openerp
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

which will show you the port on which openerp server is in running state.
Then kill the specific process.

1 Lines
sudo kill -9 id
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

For example sudo kill -9 999

Restart odoo server and that’s it.

 

Disable sudo timeout on Ubuntu in terminal

by | May 26, 2015 | Linux

By default sudo remembers your password for 15 minutes.

Disable sudo timeout with this command:

1 Lines
sudo sh -c 'echo "\nDefaults timestamp_timeout=-1">>/etc/sudoers'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

To re-enable sudo timeout use this command:

1 Lines
sudo sed -i "/Defaults timestamp_timeout=-1/d" /etc/sudoers
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You can also change or disable sudo timeout with visudo.

1 Lines
sudo visudo
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

This opens an editor and points it to the sudoers file — Ubuntu defaults to nano, other systems use Vi.

To the defaults line, add :

1 Lines
timestamp_timeout=2
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

So it will look like this:

1 Lines
Defaults env_reset,timestamp_timeout=20
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You might want to read the sudoers manual pages for additional information.

1 Lines
man sudoers
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sed replace path with slash separators

by | May 25, 2015 | Linux

Sed replace path with slash separators by using a different separator char.

If you have an environment variable that contains a slash like a path, let say

addons_path = /home/netjunky/projects/odoo-dev/odoo/openerp/addons

and you want to replace “addons_path = /home/netjunky/projects/odoo-dev/odoo/openerp/addons” with “addons_path = /home/netjunky/projects/odoo-dev/odoo/custom/addons” using sed, usually you would try something like this

sudo sed -i  ‘s/addons_path = */addons_path = /home/netjunky/projects/odoo-dev/odoo/custom/addons/’ /home/netjunky/projects/odoo-dev/odoo/config/openerp-server.conf

this raise an error like

sed: -i expression #1, char 9: unknown option to `s’

but if you try

sudo sed -i  ‘s|addons_path = *|addons_path = /home/netjunky/projects/odoo-dev/odoo/custom/addons,|’ /home/netjunky/projects/odoo-dev/odoo/config/openerp-server.conf

It works!!!

You can use any other separator instead of |.
