Installing and Configuring OpenOffice for Alfresco

zipho

Hi! All
I'm a new bee to Linux and Alfresco. I've installed Alfresco according to the guide on the README.txt file and it was successfull; now the problem comes when I have to include OpenOffice features in Alfresco. My Alfresco server is running Fedora Core 5, which comes with OpenOffice2.0.2; and its without Xwindow. I have managed to install Xvfb but when I try to run alfresco it display this message:

[root@alfresco alfresco]# ./alfresco.sh start
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /opt/alfresco/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /opt/alfresco/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/alfresco/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:       /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/
Using JAVA_OPTS:       -Xms128m -Xmx512m -server -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/opt/alfresco/tomcat/conf/logging.properties
Starting OpenOffice service…
/usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice.bin X11 error: Can't open display:
   Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option
   or check permissions of your X-Server
   (See "man X" resp. "man xhost" for details)

Could anybody out there give me some light to what is going on, please.
Thank you in advance!

Hello,

Take a look here:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_on_Linux

Also note that there are conversion issues in OpenOffice 2.0.2 that should be fixed in OpenOffice 2.0.3

Thank you Steve,

I followed the guide on the url that you gave me, and now my openoffice startup fine without Xwindow, but there is one other issue that I bumped into. When I set a rule to transform a content in Alfresco, openoffice applications do not appear as options in the drop-down list.

I hope you can make sense of what I'm trying to say.

Thank you again;

Is there anybody with an insight to this, its been weeks trying to get openoffice to work with alfresco for document transformation, and it starts fine but as I indicated above, it doesn't get listed in the drop down list.

Hi,

Are you trying to convert to an OpenOffice document type?
If so, these conversions are not yet built into Alfresco.

You could take a look here about how you could add these yourself:

and

Hope this helps,

Steve
