Hi everyone,
I'm (still) having issues with running jobs as the real user on our PBS Pro cluster. When I try running a job, it ends up in error state and displays the following error message:
tou! ch: cannot touch `/home/galaxy/.drmaa/9167860.pbs-master2.embl.de.started': Permission denied /g/funcgen/galaxy-dev/database/pbs/galaxy_1516.sh: line 15: syntax error: unexpected end of file /var/spool/PBS/mom_priv/jobs/9167860.pbs-master2.embl.de.SC: line 1: /home/galaxy/.drmaa/9167860.pbs-master2.embl.de.exitcode: Permission denied
I suspect this is due to some code executed as the real user (since the permission is denied) but then why looking at /home/galaxy instead of /home/realuser ?
If you have any idea about what's going on, please share, I'll be forever grateful!
Hi L-A,
This path appears to be part of pbs-drmaa:
http://apps.man.poznan.pl/trac/pbs-drmaa
Namely, the user_state_dir option. You may need to write out a pbs_drmaa.conf for each job or user and then set $PBS_DRMAA_CONF to point to that user's config file before initializing the session in scripts/drmaa_external_runner.py
You may also be able to get away with making the user_state_dir world writable, although this comes with security implications.
