Hello,
I'm stucked, I think I managed to install and configure Hqueue correctly.

This is what I do:
-Plug a HQrender node after mantra's
-Submit Job then Open HQueue

The Job is submitted but after 3sec. it fails and the worst part is I don't know how to check what's wrong… If i click on the Job id number, it opens the Job details window but I can't see any “output log” to download.

If I go in the Clients window, i can see that my Client machine is recognized with Avaibality set to Any @anytime.

The server machine is a macpro 3,7 GHz Quad-Core Xeon E5, the client is an Imac 3,2 GHz Intel Core i3

Any idea where to start to resolve the problem?

Thanks!!

Anyone? setting up HQueue can be a little frustrating… Any random thoughts would be much appreciated

In HQServer/job_logs/ I found some .stdout files.
Here is waht's in the file:
/bin/bash: line 0: cd: /Volumes/HQShared/houdini_distros/hfs.macosx-x86_64: No such file or directory

I'm not familiar with HQueue on MacOS, but if you haven't installed Houdini to a shared location, you need to override Target HFS to point at where Houdini is installed on the client system(s). By default, Hqueue ROPs expect everything to be setup per the docs, w/ Houdini installed to the shared drive

Thanks You! it seems it kind of solved a part of the problem but now I have this:
The Houdini 17.0.352 environment has been initialized. Loading .hip file /Users/JULES/Dropbox/PROJECTS/HOUDINI/Hqueue_test.hipnc. ERROR: Cannot find file /Users/JULES/Dropbox/PROJECTS/HOUDINI/Hqueue_test.hipnc
It seems it's still looking for the HIP file on the client machine. Weird because both machines (client and server) have the file located at the same place via dropbox..

Ok, I think I will try to explain how things are setup… I changed the shared folder to point to PROJECT directly, no through dropbox.

My server-workstation have the shared folder located at /Users/JULES/Documents/PROJECTS
This PROJECT folder is mounted on my client machine at the root of the shared volume.

This is specified in the hqserver.ini file like this:


On the client machine, in the HQClient folder, i modified the hqnode.ini file to point to this


But the .stdout file says it's looking for a HIP file in another place


I'm confused, why is it still looking for the shared folder in another place than the one specified in the hqserver.ini?
