Account Domain lookup failure

47
If you see this screen at the end of PostgreSQL installation, it is due to an incorrect ``Account domain`` in the Service
48
configuration screen. By default the installer fills this value automatically, so if you have changed it, it may cause the
51
Redo the installation of PostgreSQL and leave ``Account domain`` in the Service configuration screen on the default value.
56
During the installation of PostgreSQL you may get an error saying:
58
Account ``@#$%@#$^@%`` doesn't exist
60
This error was encountered once with the Open ERP Complete Autoinstaller.
62
The problems seems to be that in order to install PostgreSQL automatically in silent mode, we create a new user account with
63
the net.exe command, and in that particular case the system's security policy was too strict to allow a simple non
64
privileged user to be added this way.
66
It could also fail if you are using Active Directory to manage the user accounts. In that case you should use the individual
67
Open ERP Server, Client and PostgreSQL installers.

Open ERP Server Connection Error with PostgreSQL
73
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
75
Verify that you are using the username and password from the "Initialise database cluster" screen
76
when launching Open ERP Server
78
If there's another problem similar to this situation:

You should have look if the service PostgreSQL is running in the Services manager (Control Panel : Administration tools -
85
.. image:: ../../img/Pgsql_51_service_status.png
87
You can edit the service configuration to have PostgreSQL starting as a service at system boot
89
.. image:: ../../img/Pgsql_53_service_start_mode.png
91
Or you can start it manually every time from the programs menu.
93
.. image:: ../../img/104_pgsql_start_service.png
95
If your PostgreSQL service is running, but you get connection errors, you can restart the service.

GTK client localization

+++++++++++++++++++++++
102
Open ERP GTK client upper menu not translated
103
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
105
The locale identifier of Microsoft Windows (a number such as 1033 for english - US) is not correctly managed by GTK and the
106
menus not translated into the language of the OS.
108
You can fix this problem with creating a new environment variable :
110
#. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
111
#. Click the Advanced tab.
112
#. Click Environment variables.
113
#. Click New to add a new system variable with name "LANG" and value "fr_FR" for example.
