Almost forgot. When installing on my
first machine and creating the pool, a non-empty condor_config.local was
created. I noticed there was no .exe after the collector and negotiator
daemon paths. In actuality these can be commented out, because their
paths are also defined in condor_config (and they are defined correctly with
the .exe at the end). John From:
condor-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:condor-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Alberts I GOT IT WORKING!! Thanks to everyone for
your help. In the end, what really
helped me was setting ALL_DEBUG = D_FULLDEBUG in condor_config. This
showed me what the real problem was. It was a strange issue caused by
condor checking if the windows firewall was enabled … and a few other
minor issues. The firewall issue actually caused a 10 minute delay in
starting the other condor services (condor_collector.exe, etc). Here is what I had to do
to actually get condor working: 1.
Installed
the windows 6.7.9 condor package (ignored errors about condor_config.local) 2.
Converted
condor_config.local from unix to dos format (I did this by opening it in
wordpad and clicking save) 3.
Changed
all ‘/’ in paths to ‘\’ in condor_config and
condor_config.local (not really necessary because windows is forgiving, but it
IS incorrect anyway as it was) 4.
Added
two constants to condor_config.local to fix the firewall issue (this was
crucial to get things to work) a. ADD_WINDOWS_FIREWALL_EXCEPTION = FALSE b. WINDOWS_FIREWALL_FAILURE_RETRY = 10 5.
Restarted
Condor service (It Worked!) BTW, I also had to
convert the examples from unix to dos. Thanks again for
everyone’s help. John Alberts From:
condor-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:condor-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Alberts Has anyone had any luck using Condor
on Windows 2003 Server with/without sp1 as a central manager? I tried,
but it didn’t work. It was my first attempt at using condor, so
maybe it was user error? J BTW, my Win2k3 machine is also a DC. Thanks John Alberts |
