PyUNO: cannot connect to socket

Asked by Andreas Kapp on 2012-01-16

I want to generate dynamic pdf documents using pod.
Both on Windows7 (64bit), OpenOffice 3.2, and on Windows XP, OpenOffice 3.0, I get the error:

appy.pod.PodError: An error occurred during the conversion. Could not connect to OpenOffice on port 2002. UNO (OpenOffice API) says: Connector : couldn't connect to socket (WSAECONNREFUSED, Connection refused).

After reading several pages about WSAECONNREFUSED, I tried to configure OpenOffice:
c:\Program Files\OpenOffice 3\program> soffice "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;"

However, the error remains.

Could you please tell me what is wrong with my configuration?

Your help is appreciated

Hi,
You could try with additional params:

soffice -invisible -headless -nofirststartwizard "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;"

Does it work?
Cheers
