Note: This version of the VDT (1.3.9) is no longer supported. Feel free to look through the documentation and install it, but we cannot guarantee support for it. The current stable release is 1.10.1.
Globus 4 is run in its own container, not within Tomcat. Because we already have several known services that run within Tomcat, Globus 4 is running on a non-standard port: 9443 instead of 8443. If you wish to change this, just edit the globus-ws init script.
Two new Globus scripts (globus-job-run-ws and
globus-job-submit-ws) require an extra Perl module. We forgot to
include it with the VDT (Perl modules are normally in the perl/lib
directory). We'll include in in the next version. In the meantime, you
can add it to your Perl installation with the following commands (in bold), done
as root:
> export LC_ALL=C > perl -MCPAN -e shell sh-2.05b# perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.61) ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN') cpan> install Time::HiRes
The VOMS server is not included on RedHat 7 because it requires perl 5.8, where RedHat 7 uses the 5.6 series. It is unlikely that perl 5.6 support will be added in the future.
VOMS Admin 1.2.10-r0 contains a known bug for which we install a workaround. However, the workaround disables the automatic request clean-up feature. We hope to release a new version of the VDT with a new, fixed version of VOMS Admin before any automatic clean-ups would occur, so we don’t expect this to cause problems.
The gLite CEMon is not supported on RedHat 7 and our current build does not run on Debian Linux or Fedora Core 4. We hope to add Debian and Fedora support in a future release, but RedHat 7 support is doubtful.
Also, CEMon expects to find a LCG Generic Information Provider script at /opt/glite/etc/glite-ce-ce-plugin/glite-ce-info, as documented in the CEMon instructions. If you install the VDT in any location other than /opt, and you want to use CEMon and the LCG GIP, you will still have to create the glite-ce-info symlink at the above location.
