== OnTimeMeasure Experimenter Tutorial How-review ==
The following was executed as part of the evaluation for the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/OnTimeMeasureTutorial OnTimeMeasure Experimenter Tutorial].

1. As instructed, requested user account at [http://ontime.oar.net/UserRegistration.php OnTime User Registration] page. 

2. Reviewed instruction for getting account, generating keys and certificate, no issue found in the instructions.

3. Using flack, create a slice and sliver using the rpsec provided in the tutorial, no issues found, so not captured here.

4. Upon completion of sliver setu-up verified the Root and Node Beacons by connecting to the host URL on port 17291.  Found that RootService had not started due to a  MySQL installation issue, which was resolved by a patch.

Note: If the RootService is not running one can kill the ''supervisord'' process and then re-invoke it by issuing the command ''supervisord'' in the directory ''/opt/OnTimeMeasure/RootBeacon'', which did not work, so rebooted to get all processes, which worked.

5. Configured the root and node beacons in the /opt/OnTimeMeasure/OnTimeControl/config.yaml, and tried to check the measurement service status. At this point ran into another MySQL access problem.
