RE: [base] Re: data analysis

Hi Carl:

The $config["execDir"] was set correctly in the config.inc.php.
I thought probably it was because of php was not set to run as CGI 
executable so I recompiled it and it seem to be able to start the job fine.

The problem I have now is that the job doesn't seem to run properly.  I got 
this message in the "Plug-in output" section: 
nice: argument must be numeric.
nice: usage: nice [-n increment] utility [argument ...]
*** Program returned 2
Also, when I ran jobController.php <jobid> locally, I got this error 
message:
Mysterious GET variable '_/jobController_php+10' in 
Job status error for job 10 (not 'init' or 'error')

Thanks for all the help as always.

Sherry

It sounds like $config["execDir"] is not correct. Make sure
that it really points to the 'exec' directory, and note that
you should NOT use ~ to denote the path to your home directory -
tilde expansion is something the shell does, not a feature of
the file system itself, so although tilde expansion might work
sometimes (e.g. when PHP's exec() function is used), it's not
reliable.
