I am using SMEserver 7.2 and have installed quite a few rpm's to provide added functionality. I went to the server-manager and to the software installer tab, where I selected the various components of openoffice.org2 to install. The installation went without any problems but as a linux newbie I don't know how to access the installed programs such as the word processor, spreadsheet, etc. On such applications as groupoffice the program is accessed via web browser using http://mydomain.org/groupoffice. The same is true for wordpress, gallery2, etc. I cannot, however, figure out how to start openoffice. Is it run locally on the smeserver from the command prompt or is there some web interface to access the program remotely? If so, what are the commands or web addresses to use? Thanks for any help I get.

You need to install a GUI to use the application just as you would with windows, search for gnome or kde and you'll find how-to's and opinions about running a GUI on a server.

Thanks for the rapid response. I uninstalled openoffice since I do not want to work directly on the server using a gui. I had hoped that there was some remote way to access openoffice but apparently that is not possible.
Thanks again

Frank,
There is an option of installing eyeos on a ibay or folder within another ibay http://www.eyeos.org
It will do some of what you want, very cool stuff and it doesn't hurt to try ;)
Thanks,
