Yes, but I worked three years on the community edition and the enterprise is new for me.

But, i found the problem by myself and it was the alfresco.sh who call the ctl.sh in place of libreoffice_ctl.sh.

All is working fine now.

Thanks for your response.

...you used the alfresco installer with linux - yes, there was a problem with the start script, but I thought this was only a problem when using the ooo subsystem - not with the JOD... hmm...
Are you sure that you are using JOD?

Yes, JOD is activated and I see that in the alfresco administration page, in the alfresco-global.properties (ooo.enabled=false and true for JOD.). My co-worker installed alfresco with the installer, i confirm. Is'nt a good idea?

Some like installing the components manually, some use the installers... I think both methods are okay - linux admins will prefer the manual installtion method, because some components of alfresco (imagemagick, libreoffice,...) are under control of the package manager of the os.

I heard, that the installers will be dropped in the future so the installation method will change completely.
