Impossible to open /results/Sample_07_TemplateCloneRow.docx (windows only)

[AshSat]

Hello,

I have a problem with templates, using a WAMP server.
I don't have any issue with the same process with a LAMP server.

It's a LOCAL application, NOT on the internet.
Word documents have been tested with LibreOffice and OpenOffice, same results.

I'm working with the Sample_07_TemplateCloneRow example.
With Linux :
It works perfectly,
I can open the file via http://...., but it is a "read only" version (that's fine, but NOT what I need)
I can open, read and modify the "/results/Sample_07_TemplateCloneRow.docx" file in his folder (direct access in the folder)

With Windows 7 (I tried with 2 different computers, same issue)
I can open the file via http://, it works but it's NOT what I need !
I can save the document in my "downloads" folder. After that, I can open the new document but it is NOT what I need neither !

I CANNOT open the "c:/[...]/results/Sample_07_TemplateCloneRow.docx", the file is "corrupted" (access denied) but it IS this one I need to open !

After many, many, many tests, I found a way to open those files :
right-click on the file -> Properties -> Security -> Modify -> Add a user -> I added my windows "username" (my OS is in french, i'm not quite sure with the english labels !)

and then, it works, I can open my "c:/[...]/results/Sample_07_TemplateCloneRow.docx"
It works, but it's really not an easy way for a daily use.

Templates (07 & 23) are the only ones who makes troubles.
IE, "/results/Sample_06_Footnote.docx" didn't need any manipulation before beeing open and have no owner neither.
I have no problem with other generated files with or without PHPWord, only with those using TemplateProcessor.

I do not understand what's the problem and think a little bit ironic to have rights/permissions issues with windows...

Has someone a solution with this issue ?
How can I solve it ?

Without this problem, PHPWord is awesome !

Windows 7 64bits
Wamp Server 2.5
Apache 2.4.9 (Win 32)
php 5.5.12
PHPWord Master 0.12.0

Hi @AshSat,
Which LibreOffice version did you try?

UPD:
By the way, try playing with PHPWord temp dir location (see phpword.ini). PHPWord uses system temp dir by default. Maybe this is somehow connected with the security restrictions.

Any news, @AshSat?

Hi,
Sorry, I didn't your messages.
I tried with LibreOffice 4.3 and OpenOffice 4.1.1

I didn't see any issue with the temp dir.

Open those 2 documents are the only issues. Thanks a lot !

Do you experience the issue with the samples only, or it appears each time you use TemplateProcessor?

[AshSat]

Each time I use TemplateProsessor.
With my own samples AND with the original samples.

Which temp dir do you use with PHPWord, default?

[AshSat]

yes, the default one.

By default, PHPWord uses OS's temp dir. TemplateProcessor copies the provided template into it, performs the transformations you want and saves the result in a new place.

My assumption is that something may happen with file permissions during the trip. So, please, create your own dir somewhere you definetely has enough permissions and give it to PHPWord as temp dir. Maybe this will help.

By the way, I use Windows 7 too and can't reproduce the problem. Possibly this is because I work under account with administrator's privileges.

I cannot comment directly to your exact setup. However, I have had ongoing troubles with temporary files and temporary folders when using PHPWord (not just for templates). I concur that creating and using your own temp folder avoids many problems.

[AshSat]

I tried and it works !
It was the problem, you were right !
I created my own temporary dir and the problem is solved !

Thank you very much ! Have a very nice day !
