JODConverter: StarOffice.ServiceManager started but its pid could not be found

Question

I've faced with next problem while starting officeManager:

A process with acceptString 'socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=2002,tcpNoDelay=1;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager' started but its pid could not be found

@Configuration
public class LibreOfficeConfig {

    @Value("${libre.office.path}")
    private String officeHomeDirectory;

    @Bean
    public OfficeManager officeManagerConfig() {
        return LocalOfficeManager.builder()
                .install()
                .officeHome(Paths.get(officeHomeDirectory).toFile())
                .install()
                .build();
    }
}

public class LibreOfficeConversionServiceImpl implements DocumentConversionChain {
    private void startOfficeManager() {
        if (!officeManager.isRunning()) {
            try {
                officeManager.start();
            } catch (OfficeException e) {
                throw new RedactionServiceException(e.getMessage(), e);
            }
        }
    }
}

Could you please tell us which OS you are using ? Also, you could try to set the log level to TRACE. You will have a better log file to work with for debugging. — sbraconnier, Feb 21 '19 at 20:26

In my win7 dev environment, I'm facing the exact same exception: "org.jodconverter.office.OfficeException: A process with acceptString 'socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100,tcpNoDelay=1;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager' started but its pid could not be found"

I searched Google and found little info, but someone says:

jodconverter config folder CANNOT have chinese letters!

I've tried all efforts to reinstall LibreOffice, pre-start its service, all failed!

Finally, I changes my win7 default language from Chinese back to English, thus solve upper "pid could not be found" exception!

Hope that can make sense.

I have the same question, but it happened sometimes, not every time; Your problem happened every time ? — Fanl, Aug 03 '23 at 12:29
