Client does not display login dialog

Support System Administrator
1

Hi Folks,

I’m finding voluminous documentation, but I’m not finding useful documentation, so identifying that would be quite helpful. I have some orientation questions. I have sufficient system admin experience to see that I probably have things configured mostly correctly, but as we all know, “mostly” ain’t “completely”.

I have installed PostgreSQL and it is using “peer authentication” which is possibly part of the problem. I don’t see how the authentication models are addressed. I have Apache running with “mod_wsgi_python3”. I see “python” listening on 8000 and postgreSQL on 5432. The big pieces are in place, but the plumbing is not working.

I fired up the Tryton client, and it looks like I should be able to define a profile, which I did, but my description is not sufficient for the client to happily connect, meaning even before I get to the authentication questions, I see that the server is non-responsive.

Docs would be great, but failing that, an answer would be even greater.

Thanks for the help,

Chris.

This is only useful if you configure apache to launch the trytond as WSGI application.

Then you must connect to this port 8000.

You must setup the host to: localhost:8000 if you can from the same machine otherwise it is hostname:8000.

Hi Ced,

I’m trying to do too many things at once …

Ignoring Apache integration, for now. I have the development server running “trytond -c /etc/tryton/tryton.conf” on my desktop with postgresql. I see pgsql on port 5432 and I see python on port 8000. So far, so good.

I run the client and I create a profile, Server:localhost:8000, but the client never acknowledges connection to the server. Now, I suspect that server in question is postgresql, not the development web server, but I would appreciate a test that confirms this. Maybe a log entry, if I knew where the logs are kept.

So, this brings me to postgresql authentication. I am using “peer” authentication, but I suspect that is not correct. Is there a manual page explaining how I configure postgresql?

Thanks for the help,

Chris.

Before you log in you need to setup a database.
If you used trytond-admin to do this successfully and entered your e-mail address and admin password at the end, that means that with your configuration trytond can connect to the database.
Otherwise trytond-admin (or trytond) will complain on the command-line. If you need more verbosity try the -v flag.
