odoo.conf for Odoo explained

Here are the options that you can use in your openerp-server.conf file to tweak your OpenERP 7 installation.

In one of my previous posts Install OpenERP 7.0 from trunk I’ve written how to start your server with a start scrip just changing the ports and all other default settings. You can also start your server with a specified config file with -c command.

./server/openerp-server -c /path/to/openerp-server.conf
