Tesseract Alfresco Intergration

[kavilash23]

Hi Guys,   

I have a custom script which converts jpg to txt using tessaract 3.01. When I execute the script from command line the conversion works fine but when the same script is executed from within ALfresco 4.2.2, it seems the application cannot execute tesseract command while other commands in the script are executed successfully. There is no error in alfresco log files. This issue is happening on my redhat 6.2 box but not on my ubuntu 12.04 box.

#!/bin/sh
SOURCE=$1
TARGET=ocrOutput
echo "Starting tesseract"
tesseract $SOURCE $TARGET
echo " Finished"


Can someone please advice?

Hello,

simple/dumb question: The Linux user that runs the Alfresco process has all the required privileges? E.g. is he allowed to see/execute tesseract executable?

Axel

Hi Axel,

Alfresco is being run as root user so permission should not be a problem. SELinux is also disable on the box.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Has this issue been resolved?  I'm having similar issues on my RHEL6.5

# rpm -qa | grep -i tess
tesseract-eng-3.01-2.el6.noarch
tesseract-3.01-2.el6.x86_64
#

Thanks


tesseract-3.01-2.el6.x86_64 - is been installed
