Hey, I have been trying to set up slurm for the last few days but I keep stumbling upon the error whenever I run sudo slurmdbd -D: slurmdbd: error: Couldn't find the specified plugin name for auth/munge looking at all files slurmdbd: error: cannot find auth plugin for auth/munge slurmdbd: error: cannot create auth context for auth/munge slurmdbd: fatal: Unable to initialize auth/munge authentication plugin
When I run sudo slurmd -D, I get the following errors: slurmd: slurmd version 15.08.7 started slurmd: error: Error binding slurm stream socket: Address already in use slurmd: error: Unable to bind listen port (*:6818): Address already in use I have set up my firewall to accept connections to these ports, however. When I run sudo sacctmgr -vvvv, I get the following: sacctmgr: debug3: Trying to load plugin /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/slurm/accounting_storage_slurmdbd.so sacctmgr: Accounting storage SLURMDBD plugin loaded with AuthInfo=/var/run/munge/munge.socket.2 sacctmgr: debug3: Success. sacctmgr: debug2: slurm_connect failed: Connection refused sacctmgr: debug2: Error connecting slurm stream socket at 127.0.0.1:8080: Connection refused sacctmgr: debug: slurmdbd: slurm_open_msg_conn to localhost:8080: Connection refused sacctmgr: error: Problem talking to the database: Connection refused In my slurm.conf file I have SlurmUser=slurm SlurmctldPort=6817 SlurmdPort=6818 AuthType=auth/munge AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/slurmdbd AccountingStoragePort=6819 AccountingStorageHost=localhost #AccountingStorageLoc= AccountingStoragePass=/var/run/munge/munge.socket.2 AccountingStorageUser=slurm (among other In my slurmdbd.conf file I have DbdAddr=localhost DbdHost=localhost DbdPort=6819 SlurmUser=slurm StorageType=accounting_storage/mysql StoragePass=myslurmpassword StorageUser=slurm StorageLoc=slurm_acct_db and in the MySQL database, I have also done grant usage on *.* to 'slurm'@'localhost'; grant all privileges on slurm_acct_db.* to 'slurm'@'localhost'; flush privileges; Slurm was installed using sudo apt install slurm-llnl. I have done some research to try to solve this problem and I found some solutions but they didn't work for me. Two of them that I found were 1. To install munge development librairies: I have done this by doing sudo apt install libmunge-dev libmunge2 2. Using this https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/slurm-users/unable$20to$20find$20auth$20munge%7Csort:date/slurm-users/Igm-moubmlM/OS26x2mNCAAJ to fix the library locations. Even after these two solutions, I am unable to fix the problem. Thank you for your help! Alan
