* Install as normal. Note however that all of the Globus WS stuff depends up on a postgres DB being properly configured. See the instructions under RFT manual at http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/admin/docbook/ch10.html. If you don't get this running, then your globus remote command executions will work but they will not clean up properly and so will never exit. * TO RESTART POSTGRES SERVER: this is needed to do anything with the ws-gram container. The steps are these: 1. Login to gf1 as the user "postgres". 2. Use the installation in the directory /usr/local/pgsql. There is another installation at /var/lib that should be ignored. 3. Set this environment variable: export PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data. 4. Run the command "/usr/bin/pg_ctl start -o -i" as the postgres user. If everything is OK, you will get something like this: bash-2.05b$ pg_ctl start -o -i pg_ctl: Another postmaster may be running. Trying to start postmaster anyway.

Test to make sure the rftDatabase is running correctly. Use the command "psql rftDatabase". You should see bash-2.05b$ psql rftDatabase Welcome to psql 7.3.4-RH, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal. Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help on internal slash commands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit rftDatabase=# 6. The GF1 database is configured to work with the user "manacar" so su manacar. Set up your globus environment as necessary: "export GLOBUS_LOCATION=/home/globus/nmi-all-7.0-red9/" and then "source $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-user-env.sh". 7. Start the container as user manacar: "globus-start-container".
