Odoo 11 Development Essentials - Third Edition

Checking the Odoo service from the command line

At this point, we can confirm whether our Odoo instance is up and responding to requests.

If Odoo is running properly, we should now be able to get a response from it and see no errors in the log file. We can check inside the server if Odoo is responding to HTTP requests using the following command:

$ curl http://localhost:8069
<html><head><script>window.location = '/web' +  location.hash;</script></head></html>

Also, to see what is in the log file, we can use the following:

$ sudo less /var/log/odoo/odoo.log

In case you are just starting with Linux, you will like to know that you can follow what is going on in the log file using tail -f:

$ sudo tail -f /var/log/odoo/odoo.log
