[SOLVED] HTCondor refuses to start it's daemons with exit code 4/NOPERMISSION

HTCondor refuses to start it's daemons with exit code 4/NOPERMISSION

I have successfully installed HTCondor on the master node and this allows job submission, however the job sits in the queue.

I followed the same approach to install HTCondor on the first node, but was not presented with the configuration wizard. If I alter the provided condor_config file to add the sub-daemon list then HTCondor refuses to start with

condor.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=4/NOPERMISSION

Any addition of the DAEMON_LIST parameter stops the cluster daemons from starting.

I am a noob to HTCondor so any help, greatly appreciated.

Solution

The condor_master process starts all the condor services specified in the DAEMON_LIST configuration parameter. The condor_master logs everything it does to the file /var/log/condor/MasterLog. Can you look in the file for a hint of what is going wrong?
