What is difference between xmlrc_port and http_port parameter in Odoo configuration file?

What is the difference between xmlrc_port and http_port parameter which are used in Odoo configuration file.

Solution

  • None. Odoo 12 only uses http_port.

    http_port was introduced in the version 11, prior to that, the parameter was xmlrc_port.

    So, you should use

    • http_port for Odoo >= 11
    • xmlrc_port for Odoo < 11

    In Odoo 12, xmlrc_port is kept for backward compatibility, see the mapping from xmlrc-port to http_port in the source code: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/13.0/odoo/tools/config.py, line 147:

    group.add_option("--xmlrpc-port", dest="http_port", type="int", help=hidden)
