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. 2013/10/22 MaryJane <[email protected]>

You need to check what user is really used. Try this out!

ps aux|grep java|grep -v grep|awk '{print $1}'

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/)

sudo -u $USER /usr/lib64/openoffice.org/program/soffice.bin

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'. 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", 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 <[email protected]>

hi Guillaume thank for your reply, the open office version is the 3.3 the properties in the "OpenOffice Server" panel are :

SERVER TYPE Internally managed (local) SERVER PORT 8100 AUTO START Yes SERVER PATH /opt/openoffice.org3/ SERVER PROFILE /opt/openoffice.org/ SERVER STATE Not connected

if I try the command sudo -u xwiki /usr/lib64/openoffice.org/bin/soffice.bin I receive sudo: unknown user: xwiki (furthermoreI haven't the /bin directory )

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 <[email protected]>

ok, the user is 'root', the 'soffice.bin' file is in /opt/openoffice.org3/program/ path

The command runs successfully but I haven't the openoffice.org/3 directory ...

In my /home directory there are two directories inside : oracle nagios

thanks for your help
