Problem Description:

I've installed a fresh copy of ColdFusion 11 and updated it to the latest version 11,0,05,293506. After verifying that the installation was working correctly (running multiple CFM pages, etc.), I downloaded and installed OpenOffice 4.1. After setting the path in CFADMIN - Document to "/opt/openoffice4", I was presented with the green status message: "Local OpenOffice configuration updated."

When I attempt to use the CFDOCUMENT tag to convert a DOC file to PDF, I receive the following error message: "Could not determine OpenOffice installation."

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install ColdFusion 11 and Update to latest version using CFADMIN.
2. Download and Install OpenOffice 4.1 from https://www.openoffice.org/. On RedHat, it was installed to "/opt/openoffice4"
3. Point your browser to a CFM page that includes <cfdocument format="pdf" srcFile="some/test/file.doc" ... >

Actual Result:

Receive the ColdFusion error message: "Could not determine OpenOffice installation."

Expected Result:

A converted PDF file is created from the source DOC file.

Any Workarounds:

I have also tried installing OpenOffice 4.1 FIRST before installing ColdFusion. With this attempt, I made sure to specify during the ColdFusion installation to integrate OpenOffice. It correctly identified the location of the OpenOffice installation (/opt/openoffice4/) and set the path in CFADMIN - Document. I am still receiving the same error message though.

I am not able to remote debug. You had said debug port is 5005. But in admin it is showing 5006. Even at 5006 it is not connecting. On same system I am able to connect to port 6006. Lots of confusions. Please resolve this issue so that I can debug.

I debugged. Code is trying to connect to uno:pipe,name=uno_cf_pipe;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext but getting NoConnectException exception. Can you check of OO is properly installed and running. Is it any OS or web server specific issue? Is it OO4 specific issue? Is it 64 bit/32 bit specific issue?
