[Condor-users] condor_startd doesn't start

[Jérôme Jaglale <Jerome.jaglale@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Condor users,

I tried installing Condor 6.6.5 on a cluster of G5.

At first, I began to install Condor on one machine for a local use according to the newer method of installation.

I checked the two first sections of the condor_config, everything looks good.

if I execute condor_master to start the condor daemons, when I run ps -aux | egrep condor_  to ensure that condor daemons are running, the result is :

> [11:34am condor ~/Programmes/condor-6.6.5/sbin]% sudo ./condor_master

As you can see the daemon condor_startd isn't here.

The Masterlog shows that the daemons exits just a <x-tad-bigger>little time after being launched.

I saw this error has been encountered by some users : I changed "START = " by "START = TRUE" in the local config file. It doesn't work.  Somebody has an idea ? 

Thanks,

Jérôme
