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: If you have anything writen in the terminal, it's most likely to be an error, so you can investigate on this. 2013/10/22 MaryJane <mgpardi(a)exis.it>

You need to check what user is really used. Try this out! This command should give you a least the user currently running the wiki, so replace 'xwiki' by this user, to run the following command (it was not bin/ but program/) If this file is still not found, perform a search on your system ("find" command, or "locate", for soffice.bin). Finally, replace the server profile (in xwiki.properties : openoffice.profilePath) by the home directory of that user. For example '/home/tomcat/. openoffice.org/3'#39;. If you successfully run the soffice.bin command with that user, you should have a '.openoffice' directory created inside. In fact, the default value of openoffice.profilePath is "/home/user/. openoffice.org/3"quot;, so just replace user with the current XWiki user, fix the rights if necessary and that's all. And restart XWiki. 2013/10/23 MaryJane <mgpardi(a)exis.it>

If you run XWiki with root user, then thoses directory will be created in /root/, instead of /home/xxxx. It's not the best idea to run Tomcat with root user, but since it's not the purpose of this mail, let's ignore that. You need to set openoffice.profilePath (in xwiki.properties) to "/root/.openoffice/3", but make sure this directory exists before. 2013/10/23 MaryJane <mgpardi(a)exis.it>
