Hi again, Sorry for sending so many emails in such quick succession, but I think I have found a solution. I just don't know if it is correct.
Instead of using the command `export GLOBUS_LOCATION=/usr/share/globus` I used `export GLOBUS_LOCATION=/usr`. Then I created a directory inside of /usr called "libexec" and I placed inside of this newly created folder two files "globus-script-initializer" and "globus-sh-tools.sh" that were I found inside of "/usr/share/globus". After that I was able to run `./grid-cert-request -host <fqdn>` without many hiccups. Now I am just waiting for the request to be validated. Thank you, Metin On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 10:56 AM, Metin Depaolis <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
