After yesterdays outage I still can't upload. I now have over 80hrs of cpu time waiting to upload. What gives? Live long and crunch! Paul (S@H1 8888) BOINC/SAH BETA |

I don't know what the issue is still, but can confirm you are not alone, I can't upload either. Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream. |

Yeah, I know another of my teammates cannot upload either...bugger! I had trouble uploading all day. I then set BOINC to use a proxy (external to my network) and I got the uploads happening. It's back to normal now (without proxy). Must have been DNS propagation issues related to the "network renumbering of a part of the CERN network". |

Just re-tried comms and still nothing, but if it is a DNS issue, it may not have percolated this far yet. I'll just leave it for now - their servers will be busy anyway. Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream. |

I stopped BOINC and restarted. It worked a treat. All uploaded and reported. |

Restarting BOINC worked for me as well. The implication here is that BOINC is using a cached value rather then refreshing it. For "fire and forget" type users, (those who attach and just let it run), this would be an issue. Perhaps people with a lot of work crunched will now miss their deadlines?

LHC main page occasionally shows Database overload - please hold connections So just wait a bit... |

All I did yesterday to get it communicating again was to go into my DNS cache and remove the entries for lhcathome-sched1.cern.ch and lhcathome.cern.ch. Then the new addresses were picked up right away. In English (on windows 2k/xp machines): 1) Start -> Run -> type "ipconfig /flushdns" A box will appear and disappear. All stored dns entries are emptied and will be automatically refreshed. :) |

Then the new addresses were picked up right away. Yes that works too but since I run a large (1500 entries) DNS cache I just removed the 2 entries. I have a small program that I wrote to adjust the size of the cache and expiry times of the entries. So just a simple search of the entries to find what i'm after and then delete them and it only takes a couple seconds longer then just doing a flush. But then it does not need to look up all the other entries again this way. For most people a cache of this size is uneeded nor desirable. :) 98SE XP2500+ @ 2.1 GHz Boinc v5.8.8 |
