I am trying to install phpdocx and convert a PDF, using Libreoffice 

Check.php file: 

PHP_VERSION: 7.4.21
PHP_OS: Linux
PHP_UNAME: Linux blessed-iceberg 5.4.0-1009-aws #9-Ubuntu SMP Sun Apr 12 19:46:01 UTC 2020 x86_64
SERVER_NAME: app.allsavedconsole.com
SERVER_SOFTWARE: nginx/1.20.1
SERVER_ADDR: 10.0.1.13
SERVER_PROTOCOL: HTTP/2.0
HTTP_HOST: app.allsavedconsole.com
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR: 
PHP_SELF: /index.php

Tidy: 
mbstring: 1
getenv: /home/forge
getcwd(): /home/forge/app.allsavedconsole.com/releases/20210714100300/public

checkConversion.php

OK libreoffice is set as transform method in config/phpdocxconfig.ini
OK libreoffice path is set in config/phpdocxconfig.ini
OK libreoffice main executable has been found
OK HOME environment variable is set for the current user and has the following value: /home
Warning The .config/libreoffice folder in the HOME folder must have rw access.

I can't seem to get the check to pass dispite the folder having the correct settings, /home/forge/.config:

drwxrwxrwx  3 forge forge 4096 Jul 13 15:13 libreoffice

 

When I run the sample_1.php i get: 

PHP Warning:  rename(./transformDocument_libreoffice_1.pdf,transformDocument_libreoffice_1.pdf): No such file or directory in /home/forge/app.allsavedconsole.com/releases/20210714100300/phpdocx-package/Classes/Phpdocx/Transform/TransformDocAdvLibreOffice.php on line 187

Hello,

Conversion plugin documentation

From the information you have sent we have found the following line:

OK HOME environment variable issetfor the currentuserand has the following value: /home

If the HOME var in the web server:

<?php
echo getenv("HOME");

is set to /home, then you need to create /home/.config folder with rw access. That seems the problem and the reason of the warning:

Warning The .config/libreoffice folder in the HOME folder must have rw access.

If needed, you can change the HOME folder instead of using the default one with the homeFolder option:

$docx->transformDocument('document.docx', 'output.pdf', 'libreoffice', array('homeFolder' => '/home/forge'));

or in config/phpdocxconfig.ini file (home_folder option).

Please also check the documentation available on the following page:

https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/conversion-plugin/debugging-libreoffice

to debug it. As explained on the previous page, first check that LibreOffice can work standalone and then using PHP CLI mode.

If you send to contact[at]phpdocx.com SSH access to your server, the path where phpdocx is installed and a URL to test it using a web browser, the dev team will connect to check it.

Regards.
