Re: [xwiki-users] Redhat Xwiki 5.4 Office server configuration

Hello, The trick to make OpenOffice/LibreOffice work with your server is to : 1. Found the "soffice" binary. The location depends on the way you choose to install it. I'm not really aware of YUM way to do it, so I can't help, but a find command will. 2. Run this binary with the same user you use to run XWiki (it can be tomcat, tomcat6...). This one has to have a home directory ("usermod -d" to set it). 3. Nothing should be written in stdout. If your binary write something and exits, you surely have a dependency issue, which shouldn't be too difficult to fix with the help of that error message. 4. Look that you have a ".openoffice" directory (hidden) created in this directory. "libreoffice" for the well known fork. 5. Set your variables in xwiki.properties according to what you find in steps 1 (for openoffice.homePath) and 4 (for openoffice.profilePath). 6. set the autostart to true and restart the wiki. You can now control it directly from the according admin section. Examples of variables: openoffice.homePath=/opt/openoffice4 OR openoffice.homePath=/usr/lib/libreoffice/ NOTE : Libreoffice or Openoffice 4 don't work with old versions of XWiki (3.x), you may need to use OpenOffice 3.2. Hope it helps. Guillaume Fenollar XWiki SAS 2014-02-20 9:40 GMT+01:00 Aye Jaye <aye.jaye(a)outlook.com>om>:
