Re: [Swarm-Support] Problems installing Drone

[Rick Riolo]

there is an bug in your program,
or in the drone control file, or both.
eg, parameters are illegal, misspecified, etc.
look to see if you have an errorlogs/ directory,
and if so, see if there are msgs there.
or if you have an experiement-*/* direoctory,
look down in there for stderr.* files.
look for error msgs from your program there.

you could also have problems if you don't have
proper dir permissions for the rootDir.
