Hi,
What version are you using ? Could you copy/paste here all the properties
you can found in the "OpenOffice Server" panel, in the administration
section?
Can you also try to start the program with the same user you're running the
wiki, for instance:
  sudo -u xwiki
/usr/lib64/openoffice.org/bin/soffice.bin 
If you have anything writen in the terminal, it's most likely to be an
error, so you can investigate on this.
