Configuring OpenOffice for stand-alone and multi-server installations

Download and install OpenOffice from http://download.openoffice.org/. When you install ColdFusion 9 in a non-Windows platform, the installer prompts you with the directory path where OpenOffice is installed. If you want to specify a different installation path, you can specify the directory path as follows:

  • For Macintosh platform: 
    /Applications/openoffice.org3
  • For Linux and Solaris platform: 
    /opt/openoffice.org3

You can also specify the OpenOffice installation path in the ColdFusion Administrator as follows:

  1. Log in to ColdFusion Administrator.

  2. Navigate to Server Settings > Document, and enter the OpenOffice directory.
