Hello Community,
I would like to give you my compliments for the helpful mails in this
list and for the great job you are all doing.
I installed Openmeetings 3.0.6 on a Ubuntu 14.04.2 machine following the
instructions in the great tutorial by Alvaro. Some of the additional
programs were already there so I skipped those parts. However something
went wrong and I can't upload Office files: I always get the "DELETED"
screen. PDFs work fine, so pdf2swf shouldn't be the problem.
By looking at the log and trying a little around, I found that
JODConverter doesn't see libreoffice, although it's there and in the
path I set up in the configuration. Since I didn't want to install
libreoffice from the package manager of Ubuntu (or leave the
preinstalled one) but I wanted the newest version, I uninstalled the one
that came with Ubuntu and installed 4.4. Maybe there is where the thing
went wrong:
if I type "soffice" from a console, I get the message "The program
'soffice' is currently not installed. To run 'soffice' please ask your
administrator to install the package 'libreoffice-common'".
If I type "locate soffice.bin", I get a couple of "/home/..."
directories plus "/opt/libreoffice4.4/program/soffice.bin", which is the
path I entered in the configuration of Opemeetings.
If I type "/opt/libreoffice4.4/program/soffice" from a console,
libreoffice starts. If I type "sudo -u root
/opt/libreoffice4.4/program/soffice", libreoffice starts, however it
tells me that there is another instance running, which is ok, I believe.
In the log file I found the whole command JODConverter is trying to execute:
java -Doffice.home=/opt/libreoffice4.4/program/ -cp
/opt/jodconverter-core-3.0-beta-4/lib/jodconverter-core-3.0-beta-4.jar

and tried to paste it in the console. I got this message: "Exception in
thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: invalid officeHome: it
doesn't contain soffice.bin: /opt/libreoffice4.4/program
at
org.artofsolving.jodconverter.office.DefaultOfficeManagerConfiguration.buildOfficeManager(DefaultOfficeManagerConfiguration.java:167)
at org.artofsolving.jodconverter.cli.Convert.main(Convert.java:111)"
but soffice.bin is in that path.
I believe it could be a permission problem, but I'm out of clue as of
what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Andrea.
