Doc -> PDF transformation needs an OpenOffice instance running. Are you sure you have launched it ?

Right but the plain text files have been regularly uploaded and converted to PDF. I tryed with one .txt and two .sql (text) files without problems. Only msword and excel have this kind of problem.

Anyway, I think I'm doing a stupid installation error without realize it.
Could you suggest me the simplest way to test the correct configuration of OO 2.3?

After OO 2.3 installation, I launched ./configure.bin -mode Console giving the correct path (/opt/openoffice.org2.3.1). Have I to do anything else?

Thanks and Best Regards.

P.S. I have installed another new istance of R2.9B with OO 2.3 on Windows 2003 Server environment with the same results.

Hello,

I'm not an expert in OO configuration but I know that you have to launch the UI at least once to register it before you can launch it in headless or service mode.

Could you suggest me the simplest way to test the correct configuration of OO 2.3?

-> The WARN A connection to OpenOffice could not be established should not appear during Alfresco startup…

Hi rivarola,
after your response:

you have to launch the UI at least once

I have manually launced soffice.exe (in windows environment). Leaving the program open, the conversion worked fine but closing it the WARN returned when launching Alfresco.

The problem was the PORTABLE version of OO I used! (in Windows).

I have substituted the Portable Version with the regular (installed) one 2.3 and the WARN has definitively disappeared. The conversion now works fine.

I have to verify now the Linux environment where the OO installed is the regular one.

Thanks.
