Description wdonne 2008-08-22 15:46:56 UTC
I have started soffice with the following command-line:

> soffice -headless -norestore "-accept=socket,host=0,port=22222;urp;"
-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/tt

/tmp/tt is an existing directory.

The process starts and waits, but a client gets "Connection refused", which
leads me to think the socket isn't bound in soffice. When I leave out the
UserInstallation option the client can connect.

With the UserInstallation directory set to /tmp/tt I see the "user" subdirectory
is created with everything in it, but there is no ".lock" file, which would be
the case with the default user directory.

PS: I see no point in locking when soffice is in headless mode.

I have compared what is inside the generated "user" directory and a normal
"user" directory. The difference that matters is the file
"registry/data/org/openoffice/Setup.xcu". More specifically, when the field
"FirstStartWizardCompleted" is absent or set to "false" and the
"LicenseAcceptDate" absent it doesn't work and otherwise it does.

I understand those fields are set when you first run soffice and that the
headless mode is not able to pop up the required dialogs to do it.

We are trying to run multiple OO instances that bind to different ports . 

'soffice' Command when run with -env:UserInstallation option throws
"NoConnectException". However, without the above option, the 'soffice' process
is launched successfully.

Environment details:
1. Windows 2003 Server SP2 R2.
2. Open Office Version 3.2 
3. Folder is not on Network Drive
4. Write Permissions are available
5. Port is free
6. Soffice Command used: 
C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\soffice.bin -headless -nocrashreport
-norestore -nofirststartwizard
-accept=socket,host=1xx.1xx.1xx.1xx,port=8118;urp; 
-env:UserInstallation=file:///c:/tmp/oo8118
