Re: [Condor-users] condor on windows XP

Dear itpals,

I can't help you with your installation problems as I've never had problems installing Condor on Windows XP. I have a pool of about 20 machines. As with installing any software on Windows XP, you do need to be logged in as a member of the administrators group on the machine for the installation to proceed properly. Do you have any antivirus/antispyware running?

I can tell you, emphatically, that you need do NTFS on your filesystem or Condor will not execute any jobs. This is a security feature. If cCondor can't set permissions on its local user's directory, it won't run the job. However, I had to turn on additional debugging messages to find the cause of this problem. There are documents on how to do this at docs.optena.com . Thanks to Optena for this resource.

 

Cheers,

 

Phil Crawford

Hi Friends,

             Whenever I try to install condor 6. 6 .10 on windows XP machine some times setup gives some error or remain incomplete and if some how it installed then it starts only condor_master services not the other services like collector ,negotiator .....what's the problem I am not able to understand .I read in some document that before this installation stop the service  Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) It is visible in windows 2000 professional but not in windows XP.

Can anybody tell me that how I install condor on windows XP and before installation what changes should I make in the system. For running condor on windows XP, Is it compulsory to have NTFS system or we can do with FAT32 also.
