There is sth strange about this problem which I suspect it might be due to
the mdp file and input. I can run the energy minimization without any
problems (I submit the job and it apparently works using the same submission
script)! But as soon as I prepare the tpr file for MD run, then I run into
this run-without-output trouble.
Again I paste my mdp file below (I want to run an NVT run):
There isn't anything in the .mdp file that suggests you wouldn't get any output.
The output of mdrun is buffered, so depending on your settings, you may have
more frequent output during energy minimization. There may be some problem with
the MPI implementation in buffering and communicating data properly. That's a
bit of a guess, but it could be happening.
Definitely check with the cluster admin to see if there are any error messages
reported for the jobs you submitted.
Another test you could do to force a huge amount of data would be to set all of
your outputs (nstxout, nstxtcout, etc) = 1 and run a much shorter simulation (to
prevent massive data output!); this would force more continuous data through the
buffer.

Then I believe you have problems with MPI.
Before I experienced something alike on our old system - serial
version worked OK but parallel one failed. The same issue was with
CPMD by the way. Another programs worked fine. I didn't correct that
problem...

Yes,
it works when it is run on one processor interactively!
That's fine, but it doesn't mean the problem is with the parallelism, as
Vitaly suggests. If your cluster filesystem isn't configured properly,
you will observe these symptoms. Since the submission script was the
same, MPI worked previously, so isn't likely to be the problem...

I made a .tpr file for my md run without any problems (using the bottom

other jobs which had no problems. But now when I submit this .tpr file,
only an empty log file is generated! The qstat of the cluster shows
that
the job is running, also the processors are 100% engaged while I have
no
outputs!
A standard guess: what about trying to run the single-processor job on
the same cluster? Does it run OK?
