Problem converting a document with OO server

Asked by Arnaud Geslin on 2010-03-30

Hi

Here is my code :
fichiersortie = os.path.abspath(time.strftime('%Y-%m_')+'exemple_modele_contrat_travail_'+SOCIETE_pour_fichier+'_'+NOM_pour_fichier+'_'+PRENOM_pour_fichier+FORMAT_FICHIER)
renderer = appy.pod.renderer.Renderer('modeles/'+MODELE+'.odt',locals(),fichiersortie, ooPort=8100)
renderer.run()

and below the error I get at runtime. I can't figure out what's wrong, could someone help me ?
Thank you

Hello,
1) When you call the appy.pod.renderer.Renderer, give him absolute paths for all file names, it is more secure.
2) It seems that the error occurs when OpenOffice tries to write the result on disk. Has the user running OpenOffice the permission to write in the folder of the generated result? If you try to write the resulting file at other places (ie, in /tmp), does it work?
3) What web framework do you use? Isn't it possible to produce standard Python stacktraces ? It would be more easy to give you the right answers.
Cheers !
Gaetan

Hello Gaëtan

Yes I give absolute path to Renderer, see my code : fichiersortie = os.path.abspath(my_filename)

The result file is supposed to be written in the same directory than the python script. And this dir is 777. I see in the log that

self.resultUrl = u'file:///netapp/mixte/python/portail/...Ventilation.pdf.temp/result.pdf

Is it normal that the file name ends with "...pdf.temp/result.pdf" ? The slash means POD tries to create a subdir ?

Arnaud Geslin (lokoyahoo-launchpad) said : #3

(PS : about the framwork : I'm launching the whole stuff with a web client that calls my python script as a cgi)

Gaëtan Delannay (gaetan-delannay) said : #4

Yes it is normal. Pod creates a temp folder where the template ODT is unzippped and the result is created and then converted to PDF. Maybe the temp dir that is created by the POD user (=cgi user) is created in such a way that the OpenOffice user can't write in the temp folder ?

Arnaud Geslin (lokoyahoo-launchpad) said : #5

That's right, as it works when I force dir to /tmp.

Thus I will look what's wrong with my dirs and users on Linux.

Thanks a lot for your help.
