[Condor-users] Condor on MAC

[Neha Sharma <neha@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I am trying to get condor installed on a MAC OS

I did the following steps:

1) created user condor with a uid/gid and no login shell

2) downloaded condor tarball for MAC OS

3) ran condor install script with options for local and install dir 

4) edited the global and local condor config file

5) chown'd the local directory to user condor

The local directory structure looks as follows:

$ ls -hlt local/ 

total 8

drwxr-xr-x   2 condor  nobody   68B Oct 17 16:27 log

drwxr-xr-x   2 condor  nobody   68B Oct 17 16:27 execute

drwxr-xr-x   2 condor  nobody   68B Oct 17 16:27 spool

-rwxr-xr-x   1 condor  nobody    3K Oct 17 16:10 condor_config.local

6) Next, I try to start condor as root and get following error

$ sudo install/sbin/condor_master

Can't open "/Users/neha/Documents/FermiGrid/condor-6.9.4/local/log/MasterLog"

dprintf() had a fatal error in pid 747

Can't open "/Users/neha/Documents/FermiGrid/condor-6.9.4/local/log/MasterLog"

errno: 13 (Permission denied)

euid: 700, ruid: 0

homemac-998651-dp:~/Documents/FermiGrid/condor-6.9.4 neha$ 

I think the permissions are set correctly. Can't figure out why user "condor" wouldn't have permission to write to a directory to which it has the permission

drwxr-xr-x   2 condor  nobody   68B Oct 17 16:27 log
