After this command: run.sh start I’m getting a lot of spawn errors, please see screenshot: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/galaxy/original/2X/d/db20acef83fe4056ffb737df2a51e4f9a5e96005.png) It seems that the service is on, and you can log in. However, any tasks submitted are waiting (grayed out), please see the screenshot: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/galaxy/original/2X/1/16348ddba43973d9531d1347eed811bb8f9a0c90.png) when checking the galaxyctl status, and the supervisorctl status, please see the screenshot: handler0 FATAL Exited too quickly (process log may have details) handler1 FATAL Exited too quickly (process log may have details) sge\_handler FATAL Exited too quickly (process log may have details) special\_handler0 FATAL Exited too quickly (process log may have details) special\_handler1 FATAL Exited too quickly (process log may have details) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/galaxy/original/2X/1/169d27463ef332fda2a3bd0af29fe57afa83fb47.png) Looks like there’s a high probability that there’s a mistake in supervisor process management. Hope to get your good suggestions! Thanks! ---

I looked at the log file repeatedly, and it was related to drmaa lib at first. I remember trying to run the site before, multithreading, trying to write to config/job\_conf.xml. So I deleted rm config/job\_conf.xml Now it looks like everything is working fine, (of course it still can’t be multithreaded) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/galaxy/original/2X/a/a0256592c0b31f2a2a9f91e73893afcb134c88e5.png) ---

@jennaj Thanks for your kind help！ It seems that my job\_conf.xml is not configured properly. After writing the appropriate parameters into this file, multi-threading for task execution can be initiated. ---
