Sharepoint Protocol Issue

[houldsworth1]

Here's hoping someone can help me.

I had Alfresco share running in an EC2 virtual machine without any problems, but I decided to move it to a local machine that I was not using.

I installed Alfresco using the community installer with all options selected. 
I added the following to the alfresco-global.properties file:

### Sharepoint Protocol config items
vti.server.port=7070 
vti.alfresco.deployment.context=/alfresco 
vti.alfresco.alfresoHostWithPort=http://test.local:8080 
vti.share.shareHostWithPort=http://test.local:8080‍‍‍‍‍

(the machine name is test and I can ping test.local from any machine)

test.local was also added to the trusted sites in Internet explorer 9 (which is also currently the default browser)

When I try to publish the doc to the site it asks for my user id/password, shows the moving bar saying "saving as 'http:test.local:7070/alfresco/SPS/documentlibrary/test.docx'

It then asks for my password 3 more times (despite my checking the remember me box) before giving error 'A problem occurred while connecting to the server. If the problem continues, contact your administrator' …which is, of course, me.

Afterwards, when I go to the Alfresco share page I can see that the space has been created but there are no documents in there. 

What am I missing?

The Alfresco server is running on an Ubuntu 10.10 desktop, my PC is a Windows 7 machine with Office 2007 installed.

Thanks!

Does your log say anything about OpenOffice when you start Alfresco?
Normally, there would be a line like "OpenOffice connection could not be established" or "OO connection re-established".
If none of those appears, check this setting in your log4j.properties and up both to info:

# OpenOfficeConnection
log4j.logger.net.sf.jooreports.openoffice.connection=fatal
[…]
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.util.OpenOfficeConnectionTester=info

Can you convert a doc file to pdf (via a content rule)? That would indicate a working OpenOffice, as a working full text index for your documents in Alfresco's search would, too.

Hi houldsworth1!

I ran into this problem when i moved my Alfresco install and it turned out to be a problem with the pdf2swf prgoram. What version of Alfresco are you running? If its 3.4.c community eddition this may help you:
