Libreoffice Problem

[Ajay Mandera]

Hi Experts,

I have installed Libreoffice to convert doc file in to pdf file. It is installed on server Ubuntu 12.04. Its working perfectly fine in terminal but when the same command is executed using PHP's exec(), it is not working.

Ouput of command is "NULL" and the return code of process is "77".

After searching  more about this on Internet I found that  PHP script is not getting permission to run libreoffice command. So in reply to this I execute this two commands,

chown www-data:www:data /usr/bin/libreoffice

chown -R www-data:www:data /usr/share/libreoffice

After doing this the same problem is there.

Any idea why this occur?

Regards,

Hello,

As you're trying to do this from Webserver probably apache, then there must be logs regarding the same.

Try to check error at /var/log/apache/error.log and provide the logs at time when you receive error.

Waiting for your reply.
