[xwiki-users] Configuring OpenOffice server for XWiki 1.8
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. 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) ? Regards, Stevo.

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/5300d34d71d... 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.

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. - Asiri
Asiri, thanks for feedback! soffice in /usr/share/ooo3 turned to be symbolic link to /usr/lib/ooo3/soffice script, which in turn uses /usr/lib/ooo3/soffice.bin - so after configuring, /usr/lib/ooo3 as server path, I was able to start it from XWiki. Custom script I previously had for starting soffice goes to history. Regards, Stevo. 2009/4/3 Asiri Rathnayake <[email protected]>
