Unable to preview docs

[cristina_aragon]

Hi all!

I´m newbie with Alfresco and just installed all bundled (soffice, Imagemagick, share, alfresco, awe, …) except for mysql (it´s on another machine).
I'm testing my installation and within "alfresco" I have created one site with a "doc" document that I wish to see with "share".
When I try to see this word document it says that "Can´t load preview from server" or something like that and nothing is shown. I can download the document but in the left side of the navigator it must be a preview of the document that it´s not.
In the log files it doesn´t appear nothing.
Any help? Thanks in advance!

You should not have to manually launch openoffice, alfresco should start it.  You should be able to, after starting alfresco, see soffice running (and listening on port 8100 I believe).

You don't say what OS this is on?  If this is Linux - look in your ~/common/lib/ directory for libstdc++.so.5  -  it should be a symlink, as I have below.  If it is just a short-file, you need to correct that.

-rw-r–r– 1 root root 694K Nov 29 07:52 libstdc++.so.5.0.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   20 Feb  8 14:52 libstdc++.so.5 -> ./libstdc++.so.5.0.3

I have the same problem on my 'puter, I am using Windows starter. Could I also apply this codes?
