Since few days, working with OpenERP backend section. I did some coding changes in Python but was not able to restart OpenERP service due to commented and wrong python file openerp-server . File was at following location of my server : /etc/init.d/openerp-server Checked over internet and didn't find any relevant answer which could have solved my problem. After spending few hours i corrected my file that's running successfully now. Please check attached file here . Download Hopefully it will someone else's issue as well. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy Programming :)
