I need the Open Office Deamon

You have to run the following command

apt-get install openoffice.org
• Be sure www-data is able to write his own home (take a look at /etc/passwd to find out
www-data's home, and set the right permissions if needed)
• OpenOffice daemon must be launched by www-data user, by doing:
'su www-data'
'soffice "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;" -headless'

If it does not work, then we need the X server; in a debian based system, we can fix this
problem by doing:
'apt-get install xvfb'
'soffice "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;" -headless -display :1.0'
