How to Install Multiple Instances of Odoo on Windows?

Functional

What are multiple instances of Odoo refer to? Suppose we want more than one Odoo installation on a machine in windows ie what we say multiple instances of Odoo on windows. Let's start with the installation process in windows. Odoo Installation in windows is easier and quicker when compared with Ubuntu Step by step to Install Odoo v10 on Ubuntu16.04 LTS. We need to install many dependent python packages and PostgreSQL manually in Ubuntu. But in windows server just execute the .exe file. It will install all the components like Odoo and PostgreSQL and pre-configured for the same server.

How to restart/stop the Odoo service in windows: 


For start/stop Odoo service, Windows OS provides a Services window to access all the services. From the window, we can easily start or stop the service by clicking the buttons.

 

Menu start -> type Services -> search Odoo Server -> Select line and click on restart/start/stop buttons above.

Start running multiple instances of Odoo on the same machine

Follow these steps or execute the same .exe file once more and do the second step:


1. You have already installed Odoo instances successfully, So now you copy the folder of Odoo (c: ? Program Files(x86) ? Odoo.10.0) and rename it with a new one.


2. If running multiple instances on the same machine first we change the default port number (:8069/ )in the .conf. For that find the Odoo config file(.conf) from c:\Program Files(x86)\Odoo.10.0\server\odoo.conf


And change the port by adding xmlrc_port:8010 (As you like)

3.Create a new windows service for the newly created instance


Run the following command prompt:


sc create <service_name> binPath= “c:\Program Files(x86)\Odoo.10.0 – copy\service\win32_service.exe”


** notice that there must be a blank space after the equal sign (binPath=) in the command line
