Run two or more openerp servers simultaneously

How to work on two different versions of openerp simultaneously

   When you start openerp server by typing on terminal
   ./openerp-server
   it takes

•    addons path- bin/addons
•    database port: 5432
•    run by default on port : 8069

 When you are running single server or single version of openerp  ,no special need to specify port . if u want to work with two or more server at same time , then u need to specify different port


./openerp-server  --xmlrpc-port=2000 --xmlrpcs-port=2001 --netrpc-port=2002

This command will run your server on 2000 port.
To update any module on this you need to use this command.

./openerp-server -u module -d database --xmlrpc-port=2000 --xmlrpcs-port=2001 --netrpc-port=2002

For first time Start OpenERP server like this:

./openerp-server.py --addons-path=~/home/workspace/stable/addons

The bin/addons will be considered as default addons directory which can be overriden by the ~/home/workspace/stable/addons. That is if an addon exists in bin/addons as well as ~/home/workspace/stable/addons (custom path) the later one will be given preference over the bin/addons (default path).

Two configuration files are available:

• one for the client: ~/.openerprc
• one for the server: ~/.openerp_serverrc

"openerprc" file  stores default information for client including default addons path.
