Subject: RE: [Condor-users] Condor
installation woes.
I'm not sure about
about the first error, except that it's obviously having a problem trying to
set permissions on the c:\condor directory to readonly for everyone and full
for administrators.
The second problem: I've only had
condor hang like that when it was having problems with the built-in windows
firewall. I have the firewall turned off, and the following in my
condor_config.
ADD_WINDOWS_FIREWALL_EXCEPTION =
FALSE
WINDOWS_FIREWALL_FAILURE_RETRY =
10
I've found it
easier to just use the zip file instead of the installer they provide.
That way I can customize the install to our environment easier. NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net) is what I
use.
Hi,
We've used Condor occasionally
for a couple of years. We have another big project to do and we decided
to upgrade to the latest version (v6.8.2) and also add a
bunch of new PCs to our pool. Unfortunately, we're having severe
installation problems.
I've not been able to find a
pattern, but the installation works like a charm on some computers and gives
me fits on others. We are using Condor on Windows boxes (Windows
2000, XP, Server 2003, and Server 2003 x64).
When I run on my
personal XP desktop, I get a pop-up window that
says:
"CUSTOM ACTION "ExeCaKeyF04"
FAILED(unexpected return code). LOCATION: C:\Condor\, COMMAND: "cmd.exe" /c
echo y|cacls "C:\condor" /t /g Everyone:R
Administrators:F"
I see in the archives that
others have reported this problem, but I found no answers.
On one server (Server 2003), the
installation runs, but it gets hung trying to stop the Condor service.
I've found with previous versions that I sometimes had to set the Condor
service to start manually and reboot the computer to stop the service for
upgrades or uninstalls.
If anyone can provide any help,
I will be most appreciative. Condor is such a powerful tool, but it is
causing me to waste a lot of time right now. Time I don't
have.
