Setup of Globus Toolkit 4.0.8 ¶

Documentation ¶

The following guides are available:

Hint: All documentations are totally outdated!

Create user "globus" ¶

ssh root@129.206.112.253
/usr/sbin/useradd -g globus globus

/usr/bin/passwd globus

Changing password for user globus.
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

exit

Download Files Externally and Copy Them to Virtual Host ¶

Hint: All binary installers are totally outdated! Therefore you have to download the source code and compile it for yourself!

Download the software check script globus_prereq.pl
scp globus_prereq.pl globus@129.206.112.253:/home/globus/
Download the source code of globus-helper-v1.3.tgz
scp globus-helper-v1.3.tgz globus@129.206.112.253:/home/globus/
Download the source code of Globus Toolkit 4.0.8
scp gt4.0.8-all-source-installer.tar.gz globus@129.206.112.253:/home/globus/
Download the source code of libiodbc-3.52.7.tar.gz
scp libiodbc-3.52.7.tar.gz globus@129.206.112.253:/home/globus/

Alternative to the last point:

Install libiodbc - iODBC Driver Manager and libiodbc-devel - Header files and libraries for iODBC development via EPEL
Within virtual machine additionally install the ODBC driver manager for Linux (unixODBC-2.2.11-7.1.i386 / .x86_64)
Later skip the section "Install iODBC"

Software Installation ¶

Within virtual machine install:

PostgreSQL client (postgresql-8.1.23-1.el5_5.1.i386 / .x86_64)
PostgreSQL server (postgresql-server-8.1.23-1.el5_5.1.i386 / .x86_64)
Apache Tomcat Servlet/JSP Engine (tomcat5-5.5.23-0jpp.17.el5_5.i386 / .x86_64)
Apache Tomcat admin web applications (tomcat5-admin-webapps-5.5.23-0jpp.17.el5_5.i386 / .x86_64)
Optional tasks for ant (ant-nodeps-1.6.5-2jpp.2.i386 / .x86_64)
Optional apache regexp task for ant (ant-apache-regexp-1.6.5-2jpp.2.i386 / .x86_64)
APIs subproject of xml-commons (xml-commons-apis-1.3.02-0.b2.7jpp.10.i386 / .x86_64)
A low level Perl module for parsing XML either via trees or streaming (perl-XML-Parser-2.34-6.1.2.2.1.i386 / )
A secure replacement for inetd (2:xinetd-2.3.14-10.el5.i386 / .x86_64)

Set Environmental Variables ¶

vi .bash_profile

Edit (i)

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export GLOBUS_LOCATION=/usr/local/globus-4.0.8
export GLOBUS_PATH=$GLOBUS_LOCATION/sbin
export GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE=20000,25000

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun/bin
export PATH

Save (ESC :wq)

exit

Hint: In contrast to the manual there is no need to set $CATALINA_HOME!

Preparation ¶

ssh globus@129.206.112.253
tar -xzvf globus-helper-v1.3.tgz
tar -xzvf gt4.0.8-all-source-installer.tar.gz
tar -xzvf libiodbc-3.52.7.tar.gz (if you use the EPEL packages skip this and the following section)

Install iODBC ¶

cd libiodbc-3.52.7

./configure --prefix=/home/globus/iodbc --disable-gtktest --with-pthreads --disable-gui --with-iodbc-inidir=/home/globus/iodbc/lib/

Install Globus Toolkit ¶

Configuration ¶

cd gt4.0.8-all-source-installer

Only if 64 bit:

vi Makefile.in

Search "32" (?32)

Change (i)

...
        cd gpt && OBJECT_MODE=32 ./build_gpt
...

...
        cd gpt && OBJECT_MODE=64 ./build_gpt
...

Save (ESC :wq)

grep OBJECT_MODE Makefile.in

Result in case of 32 bit:

        cd gpt && OBJECT_MODE=32 ./build_gpt

Result in case of 64 bit:

        cd gpt && OBJECT_MODE=64 ./build_gpt

./configure --prefix=$GLOBUS_LOCATION --with-iodbc=/home/globus/iodbc/

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for javac... /usr/bin/javac
configure: WARNING: the javac in your path is not from your $JAVA_HOME environment
checking for ant... /usr/bin/ant
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile

Compilation ¶

whoami
```
root
```
make 2>&1 | tee make.log
Wait about two hours
Compare your result with make before you proceed

If compilation fails with the message "Could not create task or type of type: replaceregexp", try:

./configure --prefix=$GLOBUS_LOCATION --disable-webmds
make 2>&1 | tee build.log
If this works WebMDS is the reason for the trouble. Try to compile the problematic part only:
- cd /home/globus/gt4.0.8-all-source-installer/source-trees/ws-mds/webmds/webmds/source
- ant -Denv.GLOBUS_LOCATION=/usr/local/globus-4.0.8 deploy
- If this doesn't work
  - Double-check your installation
  - Go back to "Software check" → "Check Ant"
  - cp /usr/share/java/ant/ant-apache-regexp.jar /usr/share/ant/lib/ant-apache-regexp.jar

Hint: This problem can occur because in actual distributions ant-optional is divided up to several packages like ant-nodeps and ant-apache-regexp.

Installation ¶

make install 2>&1 | tee make_install.log
Compare your result with make install
