Users for WebMo:
 
 
 
* Create an LDAP user.
 
* [http://w0.cluster.earlham.edu/~alice/webmo-cgi-bin/login.cgi Log in] using that user's credentials
 
* Give the group password. (This is a one-time requirement. Future logins will not ask for it.)
 
* Use Gaussian.

'''WebMO'''
 
* yum installed httpd
 
* Installed on bs0 with the following params:
 
<pre>
 
Path to perl:        /usr/bin/perl
 
Webserver name:      bs0-new.cluster.earlham.edu
 
HTML directory:      /var/www/webmo
 
HTML URL:            /webmo
 
CGI script directory: /var/www/cgi-bin
 
CGI script URL:      /cgi-bin
 
User files directory: /mounts/bobsced/WebMO</pre>
 
* Get this error when authing with LDAP: <code>Can't locate Authen/Simple/LDAP.pm</code>
 
* yum installed perl-LDAP.noarch, didn't work, so used CPAN to install Authen::Simple::LDAP
 
* edited /var/www/cgi-bin/interfaces/authen.conf for our LDAP settings
 
* Before externally authenticated users can use it, you have to go in as administrator and check the box to allow them in the Webmo group (or whatever other group)
 
* Gamess:
 
** yum install compat-gcc-34-g77.x86_64 and gfortran
 
** Followed directions from [http://www.webmo.net/support/gamess_linux.html Webmo site]
 
* Added the following line to httpd.conf:
 
:<code>SuexecUserGroup bob users </code>
 
* Gaussian 09 not supported, though it's installed in /mounts/bobsced/usr/local/g09
 
* Installed g03, except get errors:
 
<pre>Erroneous write during file extend. write 160 instead of 4096
 
Probably out of disk space.
 
Write error in NtrExt1: No such file or directory
 
</pre>
 
or
 
<pre>Write error in NtrExt1: Bad address</pre>
 
** To fix this, do <code>echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space</code>
 
** <font color="green">This needs to be set to happen all the time on boot</font>

=== Gaussian environment ===
 
I use this in my .bashrc:
 
 
 
        export GAUSS_EXEDIR=/cluster/bazaar/software/g03
 
        export GAUSS_LFLAGS='-nodelist "b0 b1" -opt "Tsnet.Node.lindarsharg: ssh " -mp 2'
 
        export GAUSS_SCRDIR=/tmp
 
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/cluster/bazaar/software/g03
 
        export g03root=/cluster/bazaar/software
 
        export PATH=$PATH:/cluster/bazaar/software/g03
 
 
 
Seems to work, although you might want to tweak the node list.
 
 
 
=== Running Gaussian in parallel ===
 
Understand the distinction between <tt>nprocs</tt> and <tt>nprocl</tt>. <tt>nprocs</tt> is for a shared-memory (single-image) machine, whereas <tt>nprocl</tt> is for a distributed-memory (cluster) system. You want to use <tt>nprocl</tt> on all our computing systems. For example, if you want to run on eight processes (four nodes), add a line like this
 
 
 
%nprocl=8
 
 
 
to your input file. You should then specify <tt>qsub -l nodes=4:ppn=2 ''script''</tt> on the command line to submit your PBS script with a requirement of four dual-processor machines.
 
 
 
Once you have the number of CPUs specified in the input file, make sure that your nodelist in GAUSS_LFLAGS is set properly. See [[Cluster:Gaussian_environment|Gaussian environment]] for details.
 
 
 
If you have a bunch of input files you want to modify, use the add_nproc.pl script in /cluster/generic/bin. First cd to the directory with your input files, and then do:
 
 
 
perl /cluster/generic/bin/add_nproc.pl ''n''
 
 
 
where ''n'' is the number proecssors you want to run on.
 
 
 
After that, fire it up with <tt>$g03root/bsd/g03l</tt>.
 
 
 
=== Sample Gaussian PBS script ===
 
 
 
This is a sample PBS script for Gaussian:
 
 
 
#!/bin/sh
 
#PBS -N gaussian_test061.com_nodes=2:ppn=2
 
#PBS -o /cluster/home/skylar/bazaar/gaussian_nodes2/test061.com.out
 
#PBS -e /cluster/home/skylar/bazaar/gaussian_nodes2/test061.com.err
 
#PBS -q batch
 
#PBS -m abe
 
#PBS -l nodes=2:ppn=2
 
 
 
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
 
/cluster/bazaar/software/g03/bsd/g03l < /cluster/bazaar/software/g03/tests/com_smp4/test061.com > /cluster/home/skylar/bazaar/gaussian_nodes2/test061.com.log
 
 
 
exit $!
