Hello XWiki users,
I'm trying to configure OpenOffice server for XWiki 1.8 installation
(xwiki.properties). Operating system where all is installed is OpenSuse
11.1. OpenOffice 3 is installed. For this distribution there is
/usr/share/ooo3 directory with program subdirectory, but soffice.bin XWiki
is looking for is not there. Instead, I'm able to manually start OpenOffice
server using /usr/bin/soffice script.
Can you look into /usr/bin/soffice and see where your soffice.bin file is
located?
This issue needs to be addressed in jodconverter rather than in XWiki. I
have asked Mirko a similar question some time ago:
http://groups.google.com/group/jodconverter/browse_thread/thread/5300d34d71…
According to the current jodconverter implementation, it looks for a
OFFICE_HOME/program/soffice.bin file. And it will not work if this structure
is not present.
Is there any way to configure XWiki to use /usr/bin/soffice to start
OpenOffice server, or to configure XWiki to use OpenOffice server already
started outside of XWiki (e.g. using custom startup script) ?
Previously this is the way officeimporter used to work. But with the upgrade
to jodconverter-3.0 beta, this is no longer possible :( I need to dig around
a bit and see if this mode can be supported.
Thanks.
