During the step of database creation in Odoo database manager the following database creation error occurs:
New encoding (UTF8) is incompatible with the encoding of the template database (SQL_ASCII)
The traceback is as following:
OpenERP Server Error

Odoo uses template1 to create it’s DB. In order to fix Odoo database error do the following.
Switch to user PostgreSQL runs under:
|
1 |
# sudo -u postgres |
Enter to PostgreSQL console:
|
1 |
-bash-4.2$ psql |
Execute the following commands:
postgres=# update pg_database set datallowconn = TRUE where datname = 'template0';
UPDATE 1
postgres=# \c template0
You are now connected to database "template0" as user "postgres".
template0=# update pg_database set datistemplate = FALSE where datname = 'template1';
UPDATE 1
template0=# drop database template1;
DROP DATABASE
template0=# create database template1 with template = template0 encoding = 'UTF8';
CREATE DATABASE
template0=# update pg_database set datistemplate = TRUE where datname = 'template1';
UPDATE 1
template0=# \c template1
You are now connected to database "template1" as user "postgres".
template1=# update pg_database set datallowconn = FALSE where datname = 'template0';
UPDATE 1
template1=# \q
Now Odoo database creation should run without any errors.
Good luck!
