I had a previous version of Odoo installed on Windows. I reinstalled Odoo Odoo and I get an Error 500 when going to localhost:8069. I also tried to uninstall the previous version. What are the steps to follow to fix/prevent this?

Verify that PostgreSQL is still installed (eg. it should show in Add/Remove programs). Identify where it is:

it is most likely in the folder of your previous Odoo install. Eg: C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 10.0e\PostgreSQL Open the Odoo configuration file in your new installation path. Eg: C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 11.0e\server\odoo.conf Find the pg_path variable and change it to the proper path, then save and close this file. (To avoid problems, do this with a text editor that is not going to change the text encoding or carriage return characters, Eg: Notepad++) pg_path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 10.0e\PostgreSQL\bin

Go to the Windows Start menu and type 'services.msc'. Find the service of your old version (eg. Odoo 10) and stop it. Find the service of 'PostgreSQL_for_Odoo' and restart it. Find the service of your new version (eg. Odoo 11) and restart it. Open your browser in Incognito window and go to "localhost:8069". Hit CTRL+Shift+R to make sure you don't use anything in cache and to avoid that Odoo tries to automatically get into a DB created on the previous version (which would fail). Go to Manage databases and Create a new database to start. Give it a name, eg: odoo11test Open the configuration file (odoo.conf) again and replace the line 'db_name = False' with 'db_name = odoo11test' to force Odoo to use that database at startup. Restart again the services of your new version and of 'PostgreSQL_for_Odoo'. Open your browser with a regular window (not incognito) and go to "localhost:8069". Hit CTRL+Shift+R. It should work now. Open the configuration file (odoo.conf) again and change back the line to 'db_name = False'. If you still encounter an error, inspect (or ask an expert to inspect) the server log located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 11.0e\server\odoo.log Comment
