Re: [Condor-users] Condor installation woes.

John and Marshall,

 

Sorry to interrupt you with an unrelated question: how do you setup java on
Windows in order to let Condor recognize it. I install java on my Windows
machines with the correct configuration (I believe) in condor_config, but
condor did not recognize it at all.

 

Related lines in condor_config

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

JAVA = C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\JAVA.EXE

 

JAVA_MAXHEAP_ARGUMENT = -Xmx

 

JAVA_CLASSPATH_DEFAULT = $(LIB) $(LIB)/scimark2lib.jar .

 

JAVA_CLASSPATH_ARGUMENT = -classpath

 

JAVA_CLASSPATH_SEPARATOR = ;

 

JAVA_BENCHMARK_TIME = 2

 

JAVA_EXTRA_ARGUMENTS =

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

condor_config -java output no Windows machines at all!!!

 

 

Thank you very much,

 

Guoli

I'm not sure about about the first error, except that it's obviously having
a problem trying to set permissions on the c:\condor directory to readonly
for everyone and full for administrators.

 

The second problem: I've only had condor hang like that when it was having
problems with the built-in windows firewall.  I have the firewall turned
off, and the following in my condor_config.

ADD_WINDOWS_FIREWALL_EXCEPTION = FALSE

WINDOWS_FIREWALL_FAILURE_RETRY = 10

 

I've found it easier to just use the zip file instead of the installer they
provide.  That way I can customize the install to our environment easier.
NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net) is what I use.

Hi,

We've used Condor occasionally for a couple of years.  We have another big
project to do and we decided to upgrade to the latest version (v6.8.2) and
also add a bunch of new PCs to our pool.  Unfortunately, we're having severe
installation problems.  

I've not been able to find a pattern, but the installation works like a
charm on some computers and gives me fits on others.  We are using Condor on
Windows boxes (Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Server 2003 x64).

When I run on my personal XP desktop, I get a pop-up window that says:

"CUSTOM ACTION "ExeCaKeyF04" FAILED(unexpected return code). LOCATION:
C:\Condor\, COMMAND: "cmd.exe" /c echo y|cacls "C:\condor" /t /g Everyone:R
Administrators:F"

I see in the archives that others have reported this problem, but I found no
answers.

On one server (Server 2003), the installation runs, but it gets hung trying
to stop the Condor service.  I've found with previous versions that I
sometimes had to set the Condor service to start manually and reboot the
computer to stop the service for upgrades or uninstalls.

If anyone can provide any help, I will be most appreciative.  Condor is such
a powerful tool, but it is causing me to waste a lot of time right now.
Time I don't have.
