[HTCondor-users] File specified in CONDOR_CONFIG environment variable does not exist

[jack <jackgspm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

My condor set up was working fine, but now I'm getting the following error when I submit jobs:

File specified in CONDOR_CONFIG environment variable:
"/Users/condor/condor_config" does not exist.

However, I believe I correctly set the environmental variable and restarted the computer and condor:

jack$ condor_config_val CONDOR_CONFIG
/usr/local/condor/etc/condor_config

I also put a symbolic link in /usr/local/etc since that's one of the places condor looks if it doesn't find a CONDOR_CONFIG:

jack$ ls -al /usr/local/etc
total 0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root Âwheel  35 Feb 19 16:41 condor_config -> /usr/local/condor/etc/condor_config

Finally, here is the contents of /usr/local/condor/etc/condor_config:

LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR = $(LOCAL_DIR)/config
use SECURITY : HOST_BASED
DAEMON_LIST = COLLECTOR MASTER NEGOTIATOR SCHEDD STARTD
UID_DOMAIN = lab.lab
FILESYSTEM_DOMAIN = lab.lab
LOCK = /tmp/condor-lock.0.1867
CONDOR_IDS = 503.509
CONDOR_ADMIN = root@xxxxxxxxxxxx
MAIL = /usr/bin/mail
JAVA = /usr/bin/java
JAVA_MAXHEAP_ARGUMENT = -Xmx1024m
CONDOR_CONFIG = /usr/local/condor/etc/condor_config
CONDOR_HOST = jack.lab.lab
ALLOW_ADMINISTRATOR = $(CONDOR_HOST)
ALLOW_OWNER = $(FULL_HOSTNAME), $(ALLOW_ADMINISTRATOR)
ALLOW_READ = *
ALLOW_WRITE = *
FLOCK_TO = Â*.lab.lab,*.local
FLOCK_FROM = Â*.lab.lab,*.local
ALLOW_NEGOTIATOR = $(COLLECTOR_HOST)
ALLOW_NEGOTIATOR_SCHEDD = $(COLLECTOR_HOST), $(FLOCK_NEGOTIATOR_HOSTS)
ALLOW_WRITE_COLLECTOR = $(ALLOW_WRITE), $(FLOCK_FROM)
ALLOW_WRITE_STARTD Â Â= $(ALLOW_WRITE), $(FLOCK_FROM)
ALLOW_READ_COLLECTOR Â= $(ALLOW_READ), $(FLOCK_FROM)
ALLOW_READ_STARTD Â Â = $(ALLOW_READ), $(FLOCK_FROM)
ALLOW_CLIENT = *
MASTER_UPDATE_INTERVAL = 20

It used to work fine without CONDOR_CONFIG being explicitly set. Then all of a sudden it stopped working. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!!!

thanks!
