Hi Neils,
* Finally, I'm having ongoing problems with the office-importer, which I
have't really been able to get running ever since
1.8 final, when it was
rearchitected to manage it's own oofice-server instance.
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/OfficeImporterApplication…
is
my prior result of my getting this working on Linux, allowing a more
sysadmin-friendly startup of openoffice server at boot via SYSV-init (cf.
chkconfig).
Unfiortunately I could not get the external openoffice importer management
to work. When enabled, the openoffice importer control panel would not
display, giving a velocity error in place of the page contents.
Can you post your xwiki log corresponding to this issue? Current error
handling in velocity only displays a generic error message, you need to look
at the logs to see what went wrong.
Using an "internally managed" ooserver instance, I had the following
problems:
(1) not setting "Server path /usr/lib64/openoffice.org3" gave a default
path
of /opt/... unfortunately, for
fedora, that's not where openoffice is installed. Also, unless the code
specifically checks e.g. for 32 vs 64 bit architecture, this path could
also
be wrong even if this particular bug is fixed. It may better to have the
documentation not set user-expectations that the correct path will be
chosen. Instead, a statement, on windows, this default path is chosen, on
linux, a different one, etc.
Unfortunately this is how jodconverter works. May be this will be fixed in a
future release.
(2) Auto-start=yes resulted in a totally non working
wiki, across all
vhosts. It should die more gracefully.
It should not die at all. I will check this on 2.0M2 and get back to you.
(3) When trying to start a internally managed
ooserver-instance, I
consistently get message "Inadequate privileges." despite being Admin. (I
can start the external ooserver instance so openoffice seems to work).
The page XWiki.OpenOfficeAdmin must be saved with programming rights. Make
sure this is true.
Thanks.
