Do you have OpenOffice installed?

Also JPEG is not working either..

Hi,

Am asking about the issue in OpenKM demo. In the demo itself the preview is not showing properly.

In demo we've got older open office installed, and some newer docx can not be previewed by that older version. It's a problem on our installation we know, but due OS version etc... we've not upgraded no newer open office version.

Hi, I have run a version of Debian 5 on OpenKM RC1. Here, all files are displayed in the preview. *.docx, *.txt Files go.
docs:

txt:

After reinstalling version 5.0, the files are no longer shown.
It does this error message:

In my opinion, the error must lie in the new version 5.0 because I found the paths of jboss-4.2.3.GA just rename.

path von /opt in Debian5:

it's a change on OpenKM.cfg parameter, now parameters to openoffice are
Code: Select all
system.openoffice.path=/usr/lib/openoffice
system.openoffice.tasks=5
system.openoffice.port=2222

Hi,
I have the same problem, and later I found out what wrong...

1. Here is the way I set the 'system.openoffice.path' in the 'OpenKM.cfg' previously:

system.openoffice.path="C:/bin/OpenOffice.org 3"
system.openoffice.tasks=5
system.openoffice.port=2222
...
I found out (by the hard way) that the EJB which calling openoffice to do the doc2pdf conversion didn't take the double quotes too well so I removed the quotes, i.e.,
system.openoffice.path=C:/bin/OpenOffice.org 3

2. Since I have firewall, I just open port 2222 (I don't know if it is necessary, I still need to test what will happen if I close the port)

Hope this will help.
Steven

Port 2222 should be accesible from localhost. Firewalls usually prevent conextions from other machines, not from localhost. You can try a telnet localhost 2222 to see if connects.

We are working on some improvements in document conversion. You can download a nightbuild of the next OpenKM 5.0.1 release at http://integration.openkm.com/5.0/OpenKM.war. I recommend to use in a fresh installation because is not production ready. Tell us if the document conversion works better in this build.
