Ghostscript doesn't accept doc or docx as an input, it only accepts PostScript or PDF. SO in order to render other formats to TIFF you first need to convert them into either PostScript ro PDF.
Open them in OpenOffice or LibreOffice and export as PDF, or print to a PostScript file.
Then you can render the PDF or PostScript to TIFF.

No, I don't speak PHP. As I said, your best bet is to use something like OpenOffice or LibreOffice which does the job directly, Or one of the suggestions in the comments above. You say yourself that you are converting the the cod file to PDF using '/usr/bin/wPDF'. – KenS Apr 13 '15 at 10:11
