Trytond config file in windows for Tryton 6.2

Hello All,

I have installed Trytond server using pip in windows 10 and I also installed postgresql on windows 10. I would like to know do it need to create new config file name trytond.conf or use the config.py located under Trytond for database connection.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you need to create a new config file. You can name it what you want, but most of the time it’s called trytond.conf. In that file at minimum you have

[database]
uri = postgresql://<postgreUser>:<postgrePassword>@localhost:5432/
path = C:\Users\<username>\<location>\<of_your>\<install>

Then you use the config file in your start command.

Thanks. I configure trytond.conf file and when i run command trytond-admin it gives me error trytond-admin is not recognized. Appreciate your help.

Check How install Tryton in Windows 10? (Regular and Anaconda) - #7 by edbo . In short, Windows doesn’t recognize the commands, you have to use the path where the command is and use python before to make sure Python is used to execute the file.
If you have Tryton server installed in a virtual environment you will find it as described in the link. If you have Tryton server installed globally, it will be in the site-packages directory of your Python installation. No idea where it actually is, so do a search for trytond-admin.

I am able to run tryton-admin command.
i added uri = postgresql://tryton:P@ssw0rd@localhost:5432/
and path = E:\Tryton\env\tryton_server\Lib\site-packages\trytond

I m getting multiple errors as mentioned below

Kindly suggest.

Tryton cannot find your config file.

Thanks for the reply. I tried changing the normal text file to ini file and also tried giving full administrator rights. Still persist same error.
My ini file details below:-

# Listen on all interfaces (IPv4)
listen = 0.0.0.0:8000
# Listen on all interfaces (IPv4 and IPv6)
#listen = [::]:8000

# The hostname for this interface
hostname = tryton.imtac.om

# The root path to retrieve data for GET requests
# (i.e. namely the path to the web client)
# (Internal default: /var/www/localhost/tryton)
#root = /usr/share/tryton-sao/www
root = /var/www/tryton-sao
[database]
uri = postgresql://tryton:P@ssw0rd@localhost:5432/
path = E:\Tryton\env\tryton_server\Lib\site-packages\trytond

language = en

[request]
request (zero means no limit).

[ssl]

[password]
# The minimal length required for user passwords.
#length = 8

# The path to a file containing one forbidden password per line.
#forbidden = 

# The ratio of non repeated characters for user passwords.
#entropy = 0.75

# The time (in seconds) until a reset password expires.
#reset_timeout = 86400   # (24h)

# The path to the INI file to load as CryptContext:

Kindly suggest.

Again, Tryton cannot find your config file E:\Tryton\env\tryton_server\Lib\site-packages\trytond\trytond-conf.conf. Check if that file actually exists and have the right content. Because Tryton cannot find your config file, it will fall back to it’s defaults which is a SQlite database, but it cannot find that one either, hence the OSError: Database 'C:\Users\amishd\db/tryton.sqlite' doesn't exist!

I suspect you have created a virtual environment because I see env in your path. I would create a config file in the root of the virtual environment (E:\Tryton\env\tryton_server).

The other error AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'AF_UNIX' will be fixed by Issue 11319: Server raised exception when running on Windows - Tryton issue tracker but it isn’t affecting running Tryton because it’s about the status worker.

On Windows does not the path starts with E:\\Tryton\.... Also I think it is probably safer in case of doubt to use relative path.

I tested it myself just yet and I didn’t need to have the double \

After looking a bit closer, the error says “could not load”. So make sure you config file have the right content. It should work with only the following content:

[database]
uri = postgresql://tryton:P@ssw0rd@localhost:5432/
path = E:\Tryton\env\tryton_server\Lib\site-packages\trytond

Yes I have created on virtual environment. I have modified the config file and also added under tryton-server and also change the server from postgresql to postgresql 9.6.

[database]
# Database related settings
uri = PostgreSQL 9.6://tryton:P@ssw0rd@localhost:5432/
path = E:\Tryton\env\tryton_server\Lib\site-packages\trytond

It is bypassing the database connection error and now it is giving different error as mentioned below

Appreciate your suggestion.

You must change the TimeZone of the OS to be UTC.

This is a known issue: Server raised exception for status when running on Windows (#11319) · Issues · Tryton / Tryton · GitLab

This is because you used: PostgreSQL 9.6 in the configuration instead of postgresql as scheme.

After changing Postgresql 9.6 to Postgresql I am getting different errors:

If you have reserved char in your username or password, you must encode them in the URI. So here the @ in the password must be encode as %40: see Percent-encoding - Wikipedia

Thank you very much. It worked.
