RE: [Condor-users] Condor on Windows 2003 Server



I GOT IT WORKING!!

Thanks to everyone for your help.

In the end, what really helped me was setting ALL_DEBUG = D_FULLDEBUG in condor_config.  This showed me what the real problem was.  It was a strange issue caused by condor checking if the windows firewall was enabled … and a few other minor issues.  The firewall issue actually caused a 10 minute delay in starting the other condor services (condor_collector.exe, etc).

 

Here is what I had to do to actually get condor working:

1.                   Installed the windows 6.7.9 condor package (ignored errors about condor_config.local)

2.                   Converted condor_config.local from unix to dos format (I did this by opening it in wordpad and clicking save)

3.                   Changed all ‘/’ in paths to ‘\’ in condor_config and condor_config.local (not really necessary because windows is forgiving, but it IS incorrect anyway as it was)

4.                   Added two constants to condor_config.local to fix the firewall issue (this was crucial to get things to work)

a.       ADD_WINDOWS_FIREWALL_EXCEPTION = FALSE

b.      WINDOWS_FIREWALL_FAILURE_RETRY = 10

5.                   Restarted Condor service (It Worked!)

 

BTW, I also had to convert the examples from unix to dos.

 

Thanks again for everyone’s help.

Has anyone had any luck using Condor on Windows 2003 Server with/without sp1 as a central manager?  I tried, but it didn’t work.  It was my first attempt at using condor, so maybe it was user error? J

BTW, my Win2k3 machine is also a DC.

 

Thanks
