ownCloud and LibreOffice

<< < (2/3) > >>

mmccarn:
* SME 8.1
* Owncloud 7.0.1
* LibreOffice 4.2.5.2

Instead of modifying  owncloud's config.php to set preview_libreoffice_path, I created a symlink for 'libreoffice' to the installed executable:

--- Code: ---cd /usr/bin
ln -s libreoffice4.2 libreoffice

--- End code ---

After which the 'Apply and Test' button in the Owncloud admin screen succeeds.

Following the same steps using LibreOffice 4.3 does *not* succeed.

[edit]
After installing OpenJDK from the Centos 'updates' repo using yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk, LibreOffice 4.3 still does not succeed.

LibreOffice4.3 gives a 'permission denied' error in owncloud.log
LibreOffice4.2 succeeds.

mmccarn thanks for your support

sorry for the noob question but i am trying to understand what you are saying:

I have created the symlink but what must i now place in the owncloud config.php file?

i do not seem to be able to edit any file.docx documents or any file.html documents and am desperate

any help greatly appreciated  :-)

I see a similarity over here http://wiki.contribs.org/index.php?title=Pydio&oldid=24518#Office_file_preview_and_indexation

but I could be wrong.

Bud:
RequestedDeletion thanks for your input

what i am trying to find out and do, is use owncloud and get libreoffice to view and edit the office files in owncloud

do you think this will do it as i am using sme server 8.1, owncloud 7 and libreoffice 4.2

how will i know if libreoffice is working on the sme 8.1 server?

soffy for the noob questions guys i really need to get this working  :-)

@Bud,


I really don't know, I simply saw the similarity and indicated that.
