Cannot connect to server without typing a port number

[Denis Karataev]

Hi!

OpenERP Mobile has an option "Port number (optional)", but in fact it's not optional now, because without it I get connection error.

Hello Denis Karataev,

Here "optional" in means if you running your server with any port than you must need to provide port number in mobile app.

If you are running your server locally (e.g http://localhost:8069 or http://192.168.1.211:8069) and your device connected through same network then provide values in app like,

URL : http://192.168.1.211 (localhost will not work, you must need to provide ip address)
Port: 8069 or as your port

Note: Local server will work only if you are connected with same network on which server is running.

If you are running your server on any web domain ( e.g. http://7-0-24378.runbot.openerp.com/ ) then you does not need to provide a port number just provide like this,

URL : http://7-0-24378.runbot.openerp.com/
Port: leave it blank

For avoiding confusion label should be "Port number (if any)" instead of "Port number (optional)". Marking as usability issue and will be updated soon.

Thanks,
Parth Gajjar (pga)

Dear Parth Gajjar,

I got the connection error even with standard port number, my server is http://tterp.ru:8069. I was able to connect only after typing the port number to the field "Port number (optional)".

Meanwhile, field name "Port number (optional)" in my opinion was better name.

Hello Denis,

Now i got your problem :)
You are providing URL http://tterp.ru and on that URL your company's website is running (and it is not an OpenERP server).

Your server are running on http://tterp.ru:8069 so you must need to provide Port number. Without port number it's not going to work.

Thanks

So in what case can we keep the port number field empty?
