OpenOffice not starting

boneill

Hi All,

I am running version 2.2 alfresco on a windows server 2003 standard edition. I set the alfresco install to auto download and install OpenOffice. Openoffice is not starting when I start up Alfresco. I get the following error message:

[org.alfresco.util.OpenOfficeConnectionTester] An initial OpenOffice connection could not be established.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

Come on, somebody must have had problems getting OpenOffice to run. I have installed alfresco a number of times now on windows and OpenOffice never works. Is there s step you need to do to get it to work. How do I debug what is happening with it. Any help really appreciated.

Have you configured alfresco to point to the correct path to find open office?

I am not sure where you are meant to configure the OpenOffice path. I did a search through the forums for this and found the following post:

I had Open office already installed. On startup I was receiveing an error when the server tried to start openoffice. I removed the following from the openofficeStartupCommand secion in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/bootstrap/openoffice-startup-context.xml

"-env:UserInstallation=file://C:/Alfresco/openoffice"

Following this advice seeded to fix the problem on startup. It does not make much sense to me though as C:/Alfresco/openoffice is where openoffice is installed. However, I noted in the startup window that on startup it cant find openoffice initially and then OpenOfficeConnectionDetector reports that "The OpenOffice connection was re-established" a few seconds later after the server has started. Puzzling!

make sure you have 3 /// after file:

like this >>> -env:UserInstallation=file:///C:/Alfresco/openoffice"

Hi guys!!

As boneill said, I think somebody must have had problems getting OpenOffice to run …

I'd be glad if someone can help me!!!

I'm running Alfresco Community 2.1 and Was told that for my PPt files to get indexed, I must have OpenOffice running on the server.

So, accordingly to http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Setting_up_OpenOffice_for_Alfresco, I've dowloaded it, and installed step-by-step as the tutorial explains.

The problm is that, after starting up Alfresco server, when it tries to connect to OpenOffice it gets the following error message:

14:48:00,814 ERROR [openoffice.connection.SocketOpenOfficeConnection] disconnected unexpectedly
14:48:00,861 ERROR [web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed

Puzzling!

Note that if you have a default install of Open Office it will be in the "Program Files" directory, i.e. there will be spaces in the path. The "-env:UserInstallation" parameter is a URL and requires encoding. The Alfresco installer doesn't fix this so you will need to manually edit to replace spaces in the URL with %20.
