Follow these steps to configure document conversion technology
on a Linux® server. Document
conversion is supported on all Linux servers
except for those running on IBM® System z®. A separate remote Sametime® Meeting Server
can be deployed specifically for document conversion and can run on Windows® or any other supported
operating system.
Procedure
Make the following changes on the Sametime Meeting Server
that you installed with the Document Conversion configuration role.
- If you have legally licensed true-type fonts available,
copy them to /opt/IBM/WebSphere/STMeetingsServer/stellent/fonts.
Make sure that the extensions for the fonts are lowercase (*.ttf)
and each font has the correct permission level (755).
- Set the following environment variables. The WebSphere® path might be different in your
deployment.
PATH=$PATH:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/STMeetingsServer/stellent
export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/STMeetingsServer/stellent
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
GDFONTPATH=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/STMeetingsServer/stellent/fonts
export GDFONTPATH
Note: The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable can
be overwritten by other scripts. If you are able to convert image
files and not other documents (.txt, .doc, .ppt, etc.), then this
might be the cause. Type 'set' in a terminal to see if this variable
is still set and has the correct value.
Note: The GDFONTPATH
variable must not contain a ':' in the beginning. The only value
that should be set here is the path to the fonts. Do not append anything
before or after.
