[Condor-users] Checkpoint server doesn't spawn :/

[Nicolas GUIOT <nicolas.guiot@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I setup a machine with condor, the edited the local config file, and added the following line :
DAEMON_LIST = MASTER, CKPT_SERVER
 and also the CKPT variables (as in example file for ckpt server)

Then I try to start condor, and nothing runs (ps ax|grep condor gives nothing)

I tryed to remove the CKPT_SERVER line from the config file, and I can then see the master running : 

# ps ax|grep condor
 3229 ?        Ss     0:00 /nfs/condor/sbin/condor_master
 3239 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep condor

I then try to manually start the ckpt_server, and I get the following error : 
# /ibpc/io/condor/sbin/condor_checkpoint
Can't find address for local startd
Perhaps you need to query another pool.


I then have found and other error. In the first case (with CKPT_SERVER in condor_config.local), I can see a message in MasterLog : 
3/17 10:05:30 Using config file: /nfs/condor/etc/condor_config 
3/17 10:05:30 Using local config files: /scratch/condor/condor_config.local 
3/17 10:05:30 DaemonCore: Command Socket at <xxx.XXX.xxx.XXX:32796> 
3/17 10:05:30 CKPT_SERVER from your DAEMON_LIST is not defined the config files! 
3/17 10:05:30 ERROR "Must have the path to CKPT_SERVER defined." at line 1296 in file daemon.C 

--> Probably solving this will solve my whole problem : do you have any idea where I could define the "path to CKPT_SERVER", and what does this path represent ? server name, server dir ...?


Thanks in advance
Nicolas
