context initialization failed alfresco, open office failed to connect - alfresco

Question

facing this error on the development server on local host amps are working fine,as error suggests tried trouble-shooting open office (http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/tasks/troubleshoot-openoffice.html) but error still persists.
PS:Before deployment of new amps,I deleted all workflows "delete all workflows imeanit" through admin console.Dont know if this lead to the below error
Edit : 8100 was responsible for jodconverter (used by open office /libre office ) , I disabled converter but still context initialisation failed.

Answer 1

When you said "I disabled converter but still context initialisation failed." did you disabled it in /shared/classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems/OOoDirect/default/default/openoffice-transform.properties ? (Or in alfresco-global.properties it work there too)
ooo.exe=soffice
ooo.enabled=false
ooo.host=localhost
ooo.port=8100
It seems like your alfresco try to connect to soffice but can't because the port 8100 is already in use. Can change that port or you might want to start your soffice as a separated service:
soffice -headless -accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;" -nofirststartwizard
You'll need to change the port.
You might have another soffice thread still running, check your process and kill it.
