Proxymanager GFAC credential problem

To try and resolve the proxy credential mismatch between proxy-manager portlet and gfac, I tried just manually deleting the following two jars from gfac deployment directory:

• cog-jglobus, version: 1.2-050621
• proxymanager-api, version: 4.3

No longer am I getting the old error (from GFAC Portlet) that I use to be getting - related to the portlet not being able to get a proxy credential, now I have a new problem when I first obtain a credential from proxy-manager and then try to open up gfac:

xsul.XsulException: The credential is not a Globus credential. at xsul.invoker.gsi.GsiInvoker.createPuretlsContext(GsiInvoker.java:51) at xsul.invoker.gsi.GsiInvoker.(GsiInvoker.java:43) at

MySQL won't start problem

Was trying to run MySQL, but came across a really annoying problem - it kept saying it couldn't find a "socket" file and thus wouldn't start.

eg.
> mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Here's how to fix it, just start the MySQL daemon again and all will work:

> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe &

Grid FTP / MDSS testing

Time has come to test the file-manager portlet once again. I'm using the same "MDSSLoadTesting.jmx" file as before, just with slightly bigger files this time.

I have downloaded the files, and just need to run the test within JMeter. I need to add three accounts however to the OGCE portal: ogceUSER1, ogceUSER2, ogceUSER3.

Find out if something is running on port 8080

For my remote NMI builds, there is a problem I am facing that the portal I am building won't start on port 8080 because it is "being used by" something else.

Here's a test you can perform automatically to verify if the port is indeed being blocked, and by what (use the "lsof" command). By the way this doesn't actually help me any for my NMI builds since the NMI machines don't have the "lsof" command.

echo -------- IS THE TOMCAT PORTAL ALREADY RUNNING, OR IS PORT 8080 BEING USED? ---------
# COMMAND TO FIND OUT WHAT IS RUNNING ON PORT 8080
lsof -i :8080

if test $? -ne 0; then
echo " => PORT 8080 IS FREE, NO PROBLEMO"
else
echo " => PORT 8080 IS BLOCKED, TRY SHUTTING DOWN TOMCAT SERVER"
portal_deploy/apache-tomcat-5.5.12/bin/shutdown.sh
fi

echo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
