Hi everyone,

I am trying to install and set up a gridFTP server and client on
Ubuntu 11.10, but I have run into a small problem when configuring the
GSI security. Specifically generating the host certificate request. I
think the main problem is that I don't know the exact location of the
Globus installation directory.

Here are the steps I used to install GridFTP(from binary deb):
   sudo dpkg -i globus-repository-5.2-stable-oneiric_0.0.3_all.deb
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo taskel install globus-gridftp

Then I tried to set up GSI security by doing the following:
   wget http://pki1.doegrids.org/Other/doegrids.tar
   tar xf doegrids.tar
   cd doegrids
   cp globus-host-ssl.conf.1c3f2ca8 /etc/grid-security/globus-host-ssl.conf
   cp globus-user-ssl.conf.1c3f2ca8 /etc/grid-security/globus-user-ssl.conf
   cp grid-security.conf.1c3f2ca8 /etc/grid-security/grid-security.conf
   export GLOBUS_LOCATION=/usr/share/globus
   ./grid-cert-request –host <fqdn of host>

I used /usr/share/globus because it seemed to have most of the files
that I think 'grid-cert-request' needed to run. However, when I run
'grid-cert-request..` the files are not found for example:
            ".: 15: Can't open /usr/share/libexec/globus-script-initializer"
            and   "/usr/share/globus/libexec/globus-sh-tools.sh not found.")

Short of creating directories and moving files around I don't know how
to continue. Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Metin
