        <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Okay I changed
          the openoffice path back to reference soffice.bin, and my
          paths look right.<br>
          <br>
          There is no openoffice.pid file in the ~/var/ dir, but eprints
          does not have problems writing to the log. The /var/ dir is
          CHMOD 775, so the user can write.<br>
          <br>
          <i>"Starting OpenOffice<br>
            OpenOffice process died, restarting...<br>
            ...<br>
            (repeated 10 times)<br>
            ...<br>
            Starting OpenOffice<br>
            Tried 10 times to start OpenOffice in the last 15 secs.
            Something is wrong, leaving now"</i><br>
          <br>
          Is added every time I try to start it, but <i>"Something is
            wrong"</i> doesn't really help much.<br>
          <br>
          Running soffice.bin as eprints without parameters still gives
          me 'Permission denied". Running it as root without parameters
          produces no output in terminal, so I guess that means, it
          should be running?<br>
          <br>
          I noticed soffice.bin is CHMOD 755, so the user can't write to
          it, but should be able to execute it. Should I try to change
          that, or will I mess things up?<br>
          <br>
          Thanks for the tip on the indexer by the way, I will be sure
          to restart it, if I ever get OpenOffice running.<br>

            (removing the direct link to /program/soffice.bin)<br>

            Does your paths look similar? Everything seems fine in the
            Admin pages, until I try to start OpenOffice.<br>
            <br>
            I have no <span

              -norestore -nofirststartwizard -nologo -headless</span><br>
            <br>
            both give me "permission denied". I think double-hyphen for
            this old version of OpenOffice is the correct usage.<br>
            <br>
            I noticed the owner for 'openoffice.pl' was www-data, so I
            changed that to eprints, but that didn't make any
            difference.<br>
            <br>
            I guess it must be a permissions problem. What could prevent
            eprints from being able to run OpenOffice?<br>
            <br>
            Should I try changing every file folder and subfolder in the
            prints3 directory to the eprints user and the www-data
            group, or could it be a CHMOD problem?<br>
            <br>
            I really appreciate your help, I have been at a dead end for
            days, and it seems I am finally making a bit of progress.<br>

              <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thanks a
                lot for your reply!<br>
                <br>
                I've actually tried fiddling with several versions of
                LibreOffice and OpenOffice and finally reverted to
                OpenOffice from the main lucid repository (i've made
                sure to purge old installs before trying new ones),
                because all had the same behaviour.<br>
                <br>
                I had to change the paths in <span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">~/lib/cfg.d/openoffice.pl</span>,
                because I initially saw the error "OpenOffice is not
                installed on your system".<br>
                <br>
                I could easily search for soffice.bin and change the
                path to:<br>
                /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin<br>
                <br>
                $c-&gt;{executables}-&gt;{openoffice} =
                '/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin';<br>
                <br>
                However there is no "python" in the same folder, and
                searching for it gives me several locations, because
                there is no file extension, so I am not sure which
                location to choose. <br>
                <br>
                Am I looking for a file or a folder, and are there any
                clues, that might point me to the right path?<br>
                <br>

                <br>

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">openoffice-local.pl</span>
                is www-data. I've tried changing the user to eprints,
                but still "permission denied".<br>
                <br>
                The log file is now appended to, but unfortunately it is
                not very helpful:<br>
                "...<br>
                OpenOffice process died, restarting...<br>
                Starting OpenOffice<br>
                Tried 10 times to start OpenOffice in the last 15 secs.
                Something is wrong, leaving now"<br>
                <br>
                Thanks again for you help. I guess I'll try all the
                "python" locations just to make sure, but I have no idea
                what to do about the permission denied error.<o:p></o:p></p>
