[Solved] OpenOffice.org in Server Mode can't be used...

Post by ctacat@me.com »

Hello,

I'm trying to start OpenOffice 3.2.0 in Server Mode on my Mac, running Mac OS X.6.3.

I use this command :

Code: Select all

/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice -headless -accept="socket,host=localhost;port=8100;urp;" -nofirststartwizard
The process is starting, but the port 8100 is not bound to anything, preventing me to use server mode.

I first thougt it was because my account isn't an administrator one. But I did the same with an administrator account, without success.

Maybe I forget something obvious, but I don't see what...

Thank you in advance if someone can help me.

Ok, I found the problem. It's just me...

The correct -accept parameters are :

-accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;"

not

-accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1;port=8100;urp;"

The difference is subtle, but important. Using , instead of ; after host=127.0.0.1 is the point.

I feel like an idiot...
