[HTCondor-users] cannot create directory `/etc/condor/local/run/condor'

[John Wong <gokoproject@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi. I just installed condor on my Ubuntu 12.04 using the debian package.

>> deb http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/debian/stable/ lenny contrib

I then performed apt-get update and install. 

I wanted to reconfig but condor wasn't running (as indicated by Can't find address for local master), and when I tried to start the service, I got the following errors:

vagrant@precise32:/etc/condor# sudo service condor start

vagrant had uid 1000

mkdir: cannot create directory `/etc/condor/local/run/condor': No such file or directory

chown: cannot access `/etc/condor/local/run/condor': No such file or directory

FATAL: Required directory /etc/condor/local/run/condor does not exist, or is not a directory.

vagrant@precise32:/etc/condor$ ls -la

total 128

drwxr-xr-x  3 30101 30101   4096 Jan 10 23:35 .

drwxr-xr-x  2 30101 30101   4096 May  9  2012 config.d

It is not clear to me where have I gone wrong with my setup. Besides, I noticed that weird 30101 group and user. Any idea? 

In the previous setup, we download the tar.gz and supply --owner and it went fine. 

I am not even able to remove and purge this condor right now. When ubuntu tries to remove condor, it hits the same error.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
