Hi Moodlers,

I am using centos server and try to install unoconv. I get the help from https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Universal_Office_Converter_(unoconv)

Step 1 : yum remove openoffice* libreoffice*

Step 2: yum install libreoffice libreoffice-pyuno

Step 3: git clone https://github.com/dagwieers/unoconv.git

These steps are successfully run.

Step 4 : cd /usr/bin [ I can see there is a directory called "unoconv"]

Now if I run unoconv -version command line says 

-bash: unoconv: command not found



Rest of the command like 

cp unoconv/unoconv /usr/bin 

# or link unoconv to /usr/bin ln -s unoconv/unoconv /usr/bin/unoconv

They are not working. I have already go through this discussion https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=337043 but the version of unoconv is not shown to me.

What is my mistake? Please help me. 

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Running /usr/bin/unoconv/unoconv -V does not work?  If not what happens?

Hi, Thank you for your reply.



Now it is running successfully but moodle still says "The version of unoconv you have installed is not supported.".

Which version of unoconv required for moodle 3.9.1?

Now I am using  unoconv 0.8.2 and LibreOffice 5.3.6.1.

Hi,

According to the code  - /files/converter/unoconv/classes/converter.php function is_minimum_version_met() Version 0.7 is the minimum.  Are you sure Moodle is looking at /usr/bin/unoconv ?  I have checked the code to ensure that the regex works and it does.  So something else is up.

Hi, 

I have several assignments in the course. My students submitted their work in pdf or doc format. These are not loaded in annotate mode for grading. I do search in the moodle forum and see that unoconv is responsible for the conversion of the pdf or doc to the image to load the annotated pdf. 

I do set cron, Ghostscript, and unoconv . If the minimum version of unoconv is 0.7 then why my version  0.8.2 does not serve?  any thoughts?

Thanks and regards,

Sandipa

Hi,

Are your settings like this still 

unoconv settings

If you set it to the default, it might work.  Make sure the webserver user (httpd/www-data) can run the file.

Hi,

Here is my present configuration.



Here is the test result:-


I am sorry. I can not understand this line "Make sure the webserver user (httpd/www-data) can run the file".

Still, annotate pdf is not loading. PFA


Thanks,

Hi,

On Ubuntu, the web server user is www-data. So trying 

sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/unoconv --version

on the command line should tell you if the web server can run the script.   I suspect that it should be OK but it might be a possibility.  Otherwise I am stumped!!!
