"update modules list" doesn't work on debian

Hello.

It happens to me a lot of times when i begun to program my own modules.

Your module looks fine.

When you run your server some data is shown, and you need to be so clear with this information......

Somthing like that!!!!

This behaviour that you describe is shown when you put your module on a folder diferent than:

addons_path - /path_to_serv/openerp/stable/5.0/server/bin/addons

When you say:

"i copy my folder in my Debian server"

You didn't specify _where_ this information is so important.

try again....

I convert this in a question because is a very commun error of the beginer with openerp, and is not clear documented on doc.openerp.com..... thanks!

I installed OpenERP on Debian by using apt-get features.

It installed OpenERP on folder /usr/lib/openerp-server/ so I put my custom module in /usr/lib/openerp-server/addons/

This is the message when I start the openerp-server :

openerp: /var/lib/openerp-server/ # ./openerp-server.py

I tried to do ./openerp-server.py --config=/etc/openerp-server.conf but there is no console informations

When I start OpenERP by using /etc/init.d/openerp-server start, I have this output in my log file, a little different :

Cordially

Hello Maxime ,

You just copy those new module in to your addons directory.If you are not provide special path then OpenERP make the directory in the Program Files directory.If The module directory is in zip format then Please do not forget to unzip those module directory.
After copying the module, If module will not come into modules list of client then restart the server again.

Thanks.

I already copied my module folder in the addons directory.

But it do not appear in Modules List. It's why I post the question.

Hello Maxime ,

Can you please tell me where you did copy the module (exact path)?

Thanks.

/usr/lib/openerp-server/addons/

Hello,

Are you sure you copied module into addons path where your server is connecting. May be your server is start with another path otherwise i don't think this type of problem occure.
If you really not getting module in existing created database then try to create new database and check if module come into module list.The path is correct otherwise something get wrong in the path.

Thanks.
