Comment 9 for bug 664536

Hi, I struggled with the same issue as GEM reported but could solve the problem. The cause is and old format in the openerp-web.cfg file.
The old format is:
# OpenERP Server
[openerp]
host = 'localhost'
port = '8070'
protocol = 'socket'

whereas the new format should be:
# OpenERP Server
openerp.server.host = 'localhost'
openerp.server.port = '8070'
openerp.server.protocol = 'socket'
openerp.server.timeout = 450

The script of Fernandez has not been fully updated for version 6 so after installing the web server it overwrites the new config file with an old format. The new format is in the doc folder of the openerp-web directory.
