Hi Paul, On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 9:08 PM, Paul Rijnhout <prijnhout(a)megagrouptrade.com can you post your xwiki.log messages corresponding to this behavior? Normally you get an indication of what went wrong when trying to connect to openoffice server. - Asiri

Thanks, That solved our problem.

Once we checked the Tomcat5.5\logs folder we found the complete error message in stderr_[DATE].log. [DATE] represents the date the error occurred. We searched the file and found an incorrect path to open office. Once we corrected that in the configuration, it worked without any windows service starting. In Xwiki at [YOUR DOMAIN]/xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globaladmin&section=XWiki.OfficeImporterAdmin you can edit these settings (also in the WEB-INF/xwiki.properties file). We just used the windows paths with a forward slash as the following settings show. Server type: Internally managed (local) Server port: 8100 Auto start: Yes Server path: C:/Programme/OpenOffice.org 3 ((Use your path, ours here is on a German language windows)) Server profile: C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/All Users/Anwendungsdaten/OpenOffice.org/3 ((Use your path, ours here is on a German language windows)) Server state: Connected ((This shows that the open office server is working)) Be sure to restart Tomcat and then the windows service is superfluous.

September 2009 17:38 An: users(a)xwiki.org Betreff: [xwiki-users] problem connceting to openoffice server Hi, I' running Xwiki (XWiki Enterprise 1.9.3.22597) on a windows machine with Tomcat 5.5.28 and MySQL 5.1. I've also installed openoffice 3.1.1 and have it run as a service with the command 'soffice -headless -accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;" -nofirststartwizard'. Still XE can not start/connect to the server. I've checked and changed de xwiki.properties file, but no changes are picked up by XE. Anyone, who can help me get this thing to work?
