Multi-User / Multi-Platform Setup

Posted Thu, 02/02/2012 - 16:36 by calvinfroedge

Hi,

I'm currently evaluating xTuple for our company and I'm trying to work through some of the technical pieces. We have around 40 users, primarily windows (although I use OSX) and at times in different locations. My understanding of the ideal topology is as follows:

- A linux server with a static IP hosting the database, which is accessible from the net at large (ie, not an internal IP).
- A shared windows machine which contains one instance of xTuple. Windows clients start xTuple from here.
- Remote access through VPN Read more »

Trying to decide

Posted Wed, 02/01/2012 - 17:22 by voyager529

Hey everyone!

Inaugural post here (obviously), and trying to figure out the best system for me. I read a little bit on the forums, but unfortunately haven't had the time to do a comprehensive analysis of what's here. If these questions have been answered in other threads that my cursory search didn't reveal, links are greatly appreciated. With that said, I shall commence... Read more »

Event manager empty?

Posted Tue, 01/10/2012 - 06:21 by jer009

I noticed today near the end of my evaluation that the event manager is empty on my database. I am currently running a 3.7.4 database that was upgraded from 3.7.0. This is the postbooks edition.

I did the following, and have not yet been able to resolve the issue:
* I logged into the demo database and confirmed that events are indeed created there
* (Back in my eval DB) I created another user (aside from admin) and tried making changes both with that user, and with admin and saw no events in either account Read more »

What's installed on the 'server'?

Posted Mon, 01/02/2012 - 07:38 by thailovely

Hi all,

I'm looking forward to testing out xTuple for a new business venture, so I have downloaded the various installers etc in view of installing onto a CentOS6 box.

My main query is this: If my CentOS6 box already has postgres installed and I don't intend to run the xTuple client app from it, do I actually need to run any xTuple installers? Or can I just download the init.sql and dbase backups to get started?

I am intending to only run a client from a Windows box.

Thanks :)

What are the steps required to allow an item to be entered into a PO line item?

Posted Sat, 12/31/2011 - 05:07 by jer009

I setup a new 3.7 system today and used the API tables to push data across. When I went to create a test PO, I found I was unable to add any of the items as a line item.

On line items, I can click new, but when I click Item Number -> List, the list is empty.

I have played with various settings including but not limited to:
* Setting an item source (with pricing)
* Settings screen -> allow uncosted items in a PO Read more »

Issues upgrading from 3.7.4 to 3.8.0alpha

Posted Fri, 12/09/2011 - 10:42 by dmeier

Good day,

I am currently trying to upgrade our post books edition of xTuple ERP from 3.6.1 to 3.8.0RC as it fixes many issues we have been having regarding various aspects of the system.

Upgrading from 3.6.1 to 3.7.4 worked great, and I ran the Pre-3.8.0 utility and cleared up all conflicts.

I am running on pgsql 8.4 database, on a red hat server.
I have ensured that i have proper privileges to modify the database.

Upon running the 3.7.x to 3.8.0alpha update i am receiving the following error at about 21% completion. Read more »

Which Cloud Version for Services Start up Business

Posted Mon, 11/28/2011 - 21:19 by appzdojo

Hello,

I'm creating a start up company, focused mostly on Professional Services. I download the PostBooks Open Source download, with the demo, and bought the $30 eBook for Professional Services.

This will start, as a two account license, Cloud based version of xTuple. However, when going through the Demo, and using the eBook, we are missing some critical aspects, like converting a Quote to an Invoice, as laid out in the eBook.

Being a start up, I want to know what is the min. required cloud based version of xTuple, in order to do what is covered in the eBook?

thanks,
Brandon
