Thanks again for your help. See my response below.

we need to figure out what is the main cause of the error.
can you check the ownership of /opt/red5/webapps/openmeetings/upload
and /opt/red5/webapps/openmeetings/uploadtemp ?
Here are the permissions.
/opt/red5/webapps/openmeetings$ ls -ld u*
drwxr-xr-x 4 nobody nogroup 160 Mar 10 12:46 upload
drwxr-xr-x 3 nobody nogroup 72 Mar 10 14:28 uploadtemp
The original files do get uploaded into the upload directory.
When I reported the original error the upload directory was owned by
root. I changed it to match the other directories and the HTTP:-500
error went away. So I am making progress with your help.
/opt/red5/webapps/openmeetings/uploadtemp$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nogroup 48 Mar 10 14:49 files
The files directory is empty.
I assume the jodconnector is the first step for .odt files what about
.txt? I assumed that txt files would be handled directly and not need
the jodconverter.
I have the Ubuntu 12.04 system jodconnector and it is version 2.2.2
could that be the problem? In order to simplify administration and
maintenance I have a strong preference to use the systems standard
packages whenever possible.
