I give up, then come back to see if anything has improved. Sadly, OpenERP still lacks adequate documentation, IMO. It seems to me that openerp is almost a good project, but it never quite gets there. > Glancing at all your posts, I guess what you really need to understand > openERP is probably not just a bit computer skill, but Some Attitude. FWIW: I recently installed LedgerSMB on my web site. It took me two tries. First I tried to install it using lighttpd as my web server, that did not work. I wiped everything, and reinstalled, and it worked the second time. Installing LedgerSMB involves: Installing perl, and several perl modules, installing and configuring apache, installing and configuring postgresql, and of course installing and configuring ledgersmb itself. There are many steps involved, probably more steps than there are for installing OpenERP. So why is it that I can install ledgersmb, and get it working, but I not do the same with openerp? I think it comes down to one word: documentation. LedgerSMB is certainly no easier to install and configure than OpenERP; but IMO, LedgerSMB has adequate documentation, and openerp does not. Once installed, I can actually use ledgersmb, the interface is fairly intuitive, and there are no modules to install. I installed openerp allinone on xp, but I could not use it. It seems that nothing works without installing some module, but the modules would not install, I still don't know why. Some say that ledgersmb is just simplistic accounting package, not an entire erp. FYI: ledgersmb includes human resources, project management, and point-of-sale. LedgerSMB also can print checks, and print a balance sheet, and income statement. LedgerSMB does not have a CRM, however they are integrating hermes crm with ledgersmb. Anyway, that is my experience. -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openerp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=25132#25132 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman/listinfo/tinyerp-users
