Re: [Condor-users] Strange condor.boot message and collector not found

[Ian Stokes-Rees <ijstokes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, the first problem is still there, but the second problem was a result of no CONDOR_HOST line in the "master" condor_config file.  I am surprised that wasn't added by the condor_install script.  Once I added that (and allowed the default COLLECTOR_HOST = CONDOR_HOST to be set properly), my condor_status works alright.

I don't think I understand very well how the condor_install command works.  I understood something like:

cd /se/app/shared/condor
./condor_install --type=execute --local-dir=/osg-local/condor

would setup all my necessary *local* condor directories for the given host.  I could then go and repeat that on several hosts, all of which are using the same "site" install of condor (with the "master" config file in condor/etc/condor_config), and provided CONDOR_CONFIG pointed to the master config that in turn pointed to a consistent directory for the local config file, then those local settings would override the "site" settings in the "master" config file.  In fact, I discovered that condor_install only worked the first time I executed it, and furthermore it did unexpected things like used the --type setting to update the "master" config file, rather than the local file.

Cheers,

Ian

On an execute node, I can run condor_master no problem from the command line, but my init script condor.boot generates an error.  Below is a trace.

Neither the environment variable CONDOR_CONFIG,
/etc/condor/, nor ~condor/ contain a condor_config source.
Either set CONDOR_CONFIG to point to a valid config source,
or put a "condor_config" file in /etc/condor or ~condor/

On the "head" node, when I run condor_status I get an error that the collector cannot be found, even though it is running.

[root@abitibi sbin]# condor_status
Error:  Could not fetch ads --- can't find collector

[root@abitibi sbin]# ps -ef | grep condor

Any hints as to what might be going wrong would be greatly appreciated.  It seems like very strange behavior.
