Hello,
The trick to make OpenOffice/LibreOffice work with your server is to :
1. Found the "soffice" binary. The location depends on the way you
choose to install it. I'm not really aware of YUM way to do it, so I can't
help, but a find command will.
2. Run this binary with the same user you use to run XWiki (it can be
tomcat, tomcat6...). This one has to have a home directory ("usermod -d" to
set it).
3. Nothing should be written in stdout. If your binary write something
and exits, you surely have a dependency issue, which shouldn't be too
difficult to fix with the help of that error message.
4. Look that you have a ".openoffice" directory (hidden) created in this
directory. "libreoffice" for the well known fork.
5. Set your variables in xwiki.properties according to what you find in
steps 1 (for openoffice.homePath) and 4 (for openoffice.profilePath).
6. set the autostart to true and restart the wiki. You can now control
it directly from the according admin section.
Examples of variables:
openoffice.homePath=/opt/openoffice4
> openoffice.profilePath=/home/tomcat/.openoffice.org/3
OR
openoffice.homePath=/usr/lib/libreoffice/
> openoffice.profilePath=/home/tomcat/libreoffice/3
NOTE : Libreoffice or Openoffice 4 don't work with old versions of XWiki
(3.x), you may need to use OpenOffice 3.2.
Hope it helps.
