Errata

In GNU Health we work hard to minimize issues and bugs.

The errata section shows issues that emerged after the release of the documentation of a particular version, that might impair the installation or upgrade process. For each issue, we try to document the context and the solution.

VERSION 5.0

Issue: Database connection using TCP instead of UNIX socket

The default database connection configuration URI was configured with TCP (eg, uri = postgresql://localhost:5432) instead of local UNIX socket,and depending on the current postgreSQL configuration, the instance creation might produce an error.

Context: Installation (ghcontrol)

Solution:

Verify that the uri entry in trytond.conf on [database] section is using sockets. The problem is fixed in gnuhealth-control (>= 5.0.1). The URI entry to use UNIX sockets for the database connection should be (uri = postgresql://)

[database]
uri = postgresql://

Issue: Loglevel too low for production servers

The default loglevel for the GNU Health server has been shipped to INFO, which is a bit of an overkill for production servers due to the verbosity it produces, impacting to the log file. Since gnuhealth-control 5.0.1, the server loglevel has been set to WARNING by default.

Context: Logger

Solution:

You can raise the loglevel of the GNU Health Tryton server from INFO to WARNING , editing the file server_log.conf .

[logger_root]
level=WARNING
