OpenOffice connection trouble

[mr.nightmare]

Hello,

I installed the report_openoffice on ubu 9.10 / openerp 5.0.3 and got as far as the first report creation
When i click on the action button to create the pdf, i get this error :

I've read in this forum that an OOo session has to already be open somewhere for the module to work but i get the same error after testing...

Could it be Pyuno not working correctly ? (if i recall well pyuno is used for interactions with OOo)

I already tested this and got no error:

Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec 7 2009, 18:45:15)
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import uno
>>> import pyuno

any leads are welcome

Hello,
please read carefully the installation tutorial, especially part named "Testing OpenOffice headless mode."

Thanks for ur reply,

Indeed, i had obviously jumped that part

But when using openoffice in headless mode (the test with telnet localhost 8100 works fine) I still get an error when i click on the button to get the pdf :

InputStream = inputStream
com.sun.star.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URL seems to be an unsupported one.

after reading thoroughly the installation tutorial I have no lead on what could i do to solve this...

Hi,
what does the connection configuration wizard tells you?

Configure connection parameters to OpenOffice.org service

Administration ->Low Level Objects -> OpenOffice Connection
1.Open wizard;
2.Fill in your custom values;
3.Save;
On success you should receive message:"Connection to the OpenOffice.org instance was successfully established and PDF convertion is working."

If it fails with error : “Connection to OpenOffice.org instance was not established or convertion to PDF unsuccessful!”
It was unable to connect to OpenOffice.org or OpenOffice.org was unable to perform PDF conversion.

Check if you have sufficient permissions for user to operate with temporary folder on system...

To check this you can try to launch the OOo process by root.

Thanks for taking the time to help me,

the connection configuration wizard tells me
"Connection to OpenOffice.org instance was not established or convertion to PDF unsuccessful!”

even when launching the OOo process

./soffice -nologo -nofirststartwizard -headless -norestore -invisible "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100,tcpNoDelay=1;urp;" &

with root

I managed yesterday to obtain an osd report file via the GTK, so i think it is the "convertion to pdf" part that provides an error.

what could i do else to test if this is a permissions trouble ? ( i'm testing on a VM so i can go chmod 777 all i want)
