OpenERP only available through localhost

Question

i installed openerp on ubuntu (virtual machine) through the package-manager. On localhost i can access Openerp very well and there are no problems. When i try to access it throuh my internal network i get no connection to openerp.

nmap shows me no open ports on 8096. Apache works well even outside of the VM and i can access different apache sites without any problems.

Perhaps the interface was stored somewhere because i had to change this for the new VM host. The firewall is not the problem.

my openerp-server.conf looks very tiny too...

===== logfile ====

Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks

Assuming you're using the standard OpenERP 6.1 ubuntu package, the default is to listen on 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces) unless you've overriden the xmlrpc_interface config setting explicitly.

You can check the logfile (by default in /var/log/openerp/openerp-server.log) and look for the openerp startup lines, you should see something that looks like this:

    openerp.wsgi.core: HTTP service (werkzeug) running on 0.0.0.0:8069

You can force xmlrpc_interface = 0.0.0.0 in your configuration file (`/etc/openerp/openerp-server.conf) but that should be the default already.

The --xmlrpc-interface can also be specified as a command-line option when launching the server, but if you're using the standard ubuntu packages it should not be present.

If the log indicates that after a full restart OpenERP is really listening to 0.0.0.0, then you should double-check for VM networking config issues, firewalls, etc.
