There will be a short server interruption on Tuesday 10-Feb-2014 from 14:00-15:00 CET for a hardware upgrade.


Update: The upgrade finished at 15:00 and the service is back up.

You might have a problem (like access permissions?) with some download files:

Doesn't apply to all files - this was allocated in the same request.

Edit: or maybe the files are simply missing. Trying manually got

The requested URL /sixtrack/download/76/w22_job_base_bb_np_nt_fset_240214_1k_2_x100_cc__47__s__62.31_60.32__10_12__6__4.5_1_sixvf_boinc16523.zip was not found on this server.

Same problem here:

Looks like similar problem happened to already uploded files which couldn't validate and got ignored when additional result is returned:

http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/workunit.php?wuid=27499389

and some that couldn't validate:

http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/workunit.php?wuid=27455940
http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/workunit.php?wuid=27455939

I have notified admins that you do not seem to be able
to get new WUs. There are anyway problems with results validation.
There are too many results waiting for confirmation.
I suspended a couple of clients with too many wrong results
but maybe they are back. Eric.

We see that jobs are now being submitted on the new server.

Can users confirm if they are receiving WUs?

Nope, can't get any.

Meanwhile, you just happened to update the server software while there was an untested word-wrap modification in the style sheet. David reverted that last night, because it made these log snippets unreadable: could you possibly apply

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/gitweb/?p=boinc-v2.git;a=commit;h=8f2eb6a5ca95d20db83d85ae9e9fcb299c5decb6

Thanks.

That looks better, thanks.

Meanwhile, on another machine, I've just got one new task (task 58122173), but only one - and it was a resend because somebody else missed their deadline (WU 27029491). No sign of any tasks from the 'new work' pool:

Not better for me, I'm afraid.

All subsequent requests have failed similarly.

John.

Likewise,

11/02/2015 11:59:02 | LHC@home 1.0 | Giving up on download of sixtrack_win64_4517_gen.exe: permanent HTTP error

The data files for the six tasks allocated all downloaded OK, but without the program file they couldn't run.

Edit - note that this appears to be a generic (non-optimised) application. I normally get allocated the PNI version for SSE3 CPUs.

Working for me now, I just received some WUs. Good job!

None of the Windows applications previously used by my hosts (win32 or win64, _gen, _sse2 or _pni) currently appear to be available for download from the server.

I'm still seeing the exe downloads fail (I'm after the generic one)

11/02/2015 12:20:24 pm Giving up on download of sixtrack_win32_4517_gen.exe: permanent HTTP error

Other files seem OK.

Edit:- Senilix has the pni version so perhaps that one is OK.

John

Seems OK now, thanks.

John.

Yes, everything seems to be back in place from here, too. Thanks.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate the feedback.
Please inform this thread if there are any further issues since the upgrade

more than 200 errors "error while downloading" most dated night and morning hours 11th of February and evening of 10 Feb (UTC)

but also have more than 300 WU also dated 11 feb and onwards timed evening and current time, so seems WUs are in pipeline

I have a few like this one 2 are validated and credit awarded but the one my machine ran is still showing as inconclusive.

My priority now is to try and reduce inconclusives
by improving the banning of hosts with too many wrong
results. Eric.
