Tomorrow we will correct the many errors caused by missing or unsigned application files - the cause of this has been found.

Other problems like the missing avatars, and bad behaviour of the forum presentation (e.g. resetting to Least Recent First) will also be fixed.

Ben

Thanks! =)

That's old. I think even the old LHC server had version 503 (that's old too).

I am at the 2nd Pan Galactic Boinc Workshop, and I live in Geneva, but thanks for your concern (:-))

Ben

LOL, then you can't find a reasonable excuse to get out of going then. LOL

Perhaps next year it can be in central South Carolina USA and I can be in the same dilemna.

Great Ben,

Good:
Uploads are working this morning.
My Avatar has re-appeared.

Still to Fix:
Cannot set forum preferences due to error previously posted:
Unknown column 'forum_sorting' in 'field list'Unknown column 'thread_sorting' in 'field list'Unknown column 'minimum_wrap_postcount' in 'field list'Unknown column 'display_wrap_postcount' in 'field list'
I think this indicates new database fields needed that have not been added to the database ?

Forum still 'loops' when posting a reply. Goes back to a blank message box instead of back to the forum view.

I noticed my profile image and profile are gone, maybe these too were not copied from old server ?

Thanks for the encouragement, Keith!

We're almost there.... it's been a hard few days.

Yes, Yes, Yes. Forum OK, Set Preferences Worked, Profile and photo back and able to change ok.

I just checked, and as an extra measure made some updates which took.

There is one problem left, and this is the one PovAddict mentioned before which is a bug in the code, when you view your forum preferences it defaults to 'do not use an avatar' even if one has already been set, if the user does not change to use the avatar, which is already there, when they update the preferecnes the avatar will get deleted.

Great job Ben (and any others on the team)

ps

I never had any download problems on any of my windows machines.

All have uploaded OK.

How is it that many in this thread are getting work when all I am getting are either "no new work" connection attempts or an http connection error.

I want to get work so how do I do this?

Thank You

we were getting work yesterday afternoon
but due to some errors downloading was disabled

I'm still getting file missing errors.

I'm still getting them also, last time was for result 7546794 around 15:42 UTC 21 Sep file bottomOverlay_1.02_.tga and also the exe file.
The -163 errors were usually preceded by warnings about incomplete reads. Also got Checksum-or-signature-error for most other .tga files.

This host has recently attached and has never successfully downloaded work though it's fine on other projects. My original host has downloaded fine. It returned work from last night successfully, after uploading was fixed. This morning it's erroring out on max disk space exceeded.

Docking@home was just having the same problem with file downloads and found a fix.

See this forum post

It has something to do with the no_delete flag in the workunit template.

-- David

This may be true, but I question if it's the only problem. I wouldn't think it should cause the checksum/signature errors on bunches of other files, nor would it cause the .exe itself to be deleted would it?
