Candace,

There are quite a few things that could cause this type of problem.  
Probably the most likely, however, is that you don't have a collector 
running.  It sounds like you're trying to setup a "single host" Condor, 
so I'm going to presume that's the case in my reply....

Let's check a couple of items.

1. Did you actually start Condor (probably by running "condor_master")?  
Run ps to verify that the master is running.  You can look at MasterLog 
to learn more about what it's doing, having problems with, etc.  Note 
that you may need to set the CONDOR_CONFIG env variable if your 
condor_config is stored in a non-standard location (not in /etc or 
/home/condor).

2. Is your master configured to run a Collector?  Look at your 
"DAEMON_LIST" setting in your condor_config; it should have COLLECTOR in 
the list.  If not, that's the problem.

3. Is the collector actually running?  Again, verify with 'ps'.  If it's 
dieing, check the CollectorLog to see what it's upset about.  You can 
also run it directly via "condor_collector -t -f"; it's dump all of it's 
output to stdout.

4. Verify the COLLECTOR_HOST setting in your condor_config.

Hope this helps
