1. is your mysql database running?
2. slurm 19.x is far obselete and you should at least use 21.x

Hi everyone

I am trying to get slurmdbd to run on my local home server but I am really struggling.

Note : am a novice slurm user

my slurmdbd always times out even though all the details in the conf file are correct

My log looks like this

I used standard names and passwords to get started and I will change later

but everytime I try to start slurmdbd.service it crashes and I have that log that I shared with you

I use these versions

slurmdbd -V

slurm-wlm 19.05.5

mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.3.39-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2

Everything else Is working properly except I cannot get slurmdbd to work and at this point I exhausted all my possible trials :) looking for some expert insights :)

Any idea what I am doing wrong here ? Also I didn't compile any slurm package. I used the binary from apt repos

Any help will be appreciated

Cheers

Rad
