<div class="moz-cite-prefix">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:"Calibri","sans-serif";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->{executables}->{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>
Running:<br>
<span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">~/archives/ARCHIVEID/bin/openoffice-local.pl
ARCHIVEID start</span><br>
<br>
Gives me "Permission denied". User and group for <span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";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.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In EPrints v3.3.12 on Ubuntu Server
10.04.04: Whenever I press "Start OpenOffice", EPrints
displays the message: "OpenOffice started".<br>
<br>
But when I refresh the page or click somewhere else and go
back, a red error message is displayed reading "Failed to
start OpenOffice".<br>
<br>
"Openoffice.log" in "/usr/share/eprints3/var" is completely
empty, even though it seems to be edited every time I try to
start OpenOffice from EPrints.<br>
<br>
This is driving me nuts, please help me solve this puzzle. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
