[AG-TECH] AG2 installed, what next?

[Michael Daw]

Chris,

You're probably getting the 'Invalid URL' message because you've not run
grid-proxy-init (at least successfully). According to bug #105
http://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/AccessGrid/show_bug.cgi?id=105, ANL ('lefvert' -
it would be nice to know a first name!) have since put in a better error
message.

As to the grid-proxy-init segmentation fault, are you trying to run it as
root? If so, maybe your problem is here - that's what happened to me. If
not, try running 'grid-proxy-init -debug' and sending that output to
AG-TECH.

At least, these are the problems I got at a similar stage...!

Now, who's going to answer my question
(http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/web-mail-archive/lists/ag-tech/2003/02/msg00220
.html)? Or I'll be forced to put it in Bugzilla...! (Actually, it occurs to
me that perhaps that *is* the best place for these things. ANL boys/girls -
is this how you want Bugzilla to be used, or do you want it reserved for
stuff we *know* is bugs, rather than user incompetence. Perhaps there should
be a new 'Severity' in bugzilla, if you've got control over this, for
'Question'?)

Not starting datastore for venue: None does not exist
Service running at: https://exp.vislab.usyd.edu.au:8000/VenueServer

then:
      VenueManagement.py   brings up gui, into which I enter the service
(https://exp.vislab.usyd.edu.au:8000/VenueServer) which VenueServer.py
started. However when I press the Go button, it pops up an "Invalid URL"
notifier. Also when I press that Go button, the following output appears
in the shell from which I started VenueManagement.py:
[root at exp root]# VenueManagement.py
File: c_rehash
File: CA.pl
File: CA.sh
File: globus-sh-exec
File: der_chop
File: grid-cert-request

File: grid-proxy-destroy
File: grid-proxy-info
File: grid-proxy-init
LINUX /usr/lib/globus/bin/grid-proxy-init

Any pointers on what to do next please?
