Re: [Condor-users] "ExeCaKeyF04" error

["PAUL PHILIP TRIPP" <ppt5000@xxxxxxx>]

I was having the same problem on my windows machine and I am very close to
sloving it. By installing everything manually and manually adding a
condor\logs\  folder and a condor\spool\ folder, I finally have
condor_master and condor_schedd running. The problem was that the computer has
two drive (C:\ and D:\) and since C is FAT32 the MSI would not work. My D:\ is
NTFS so by manually editting all the config files I got condor running from
D:\. I still can not get condor_startd running, however the log file currently
reads this:

Any ideas on how to fix this?
Everything seems to work so well, I can use the condor_status command, but
can't see the new node. The command condor_q comes back with a failed to
fetch ads error but it is going after the wrong central manager IP.

Thanks,
Paul
