I am running Alfresco Community 4.2.f on Ubuntu 14.04. I installed Alfresco using the downloaded bin file alfresco-community-4.2.f-installer-linux-x64.bin.
I wanted to run a content transformation from tif to txt, and have created the ocrtiff-transform-context.xml in /opt/alfresco-4.2.f/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension. The xml file makes a reference to the script file named /opt/alfresco-4.2.f/ocr. There is a command /usr/bin/tesseract input_file.tif output_file -l eng in the script file. Tesseract converts the input tif file into an output txt file. The script file was made executable, owned by root.root.
The input file was stored in the /tmp directory and owned by root.root. The output text file generated by tesseract has ZERO bytes, which I am really baffled. I am able to run the tesseract command using the command line, but using sudo.
Is this a permission problem? Is it not that alfresco is running as root?
