Richard,

You must have a more powerful RETRY button than I have :-)


Well, I think I tested it at a time when the problem was developing gradually. I tested on a machine which had one Parkes PMPS XT task to upload - two files. While I was hitting retry to catch the log, one of the two files slipped away - but the other is still waiting.

Hi All, BOINC logfile

Hi All,

BOINC logfile shows a changed situation:-( Not for the better AFAIC, now it doesn't give a reason for the problems, just whats happening to the upload attempt.

So it just shows its repeatedly backing off from the upload, but not why its backing off:-(

I'm not sure what to do to resolve this problem, the only other options seem to be, to complete and try with another WU or to abort the problem upload:-(
And I realy don't want to waste the time spent crunching that file:-(

Does anyone know where BOINC puts its output files for upload?
Maybe I can move them to have another try later?

Regards

Cliff,

As usual, the debug log flags

As usual, the debug log flags - now just a GUI click away - are your friend. The upload/backoff is our old friend the 404 not found:

30/03/2015 23:35:09 | Einstein@Home | [http] [ID#1102] Received header from server: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
30/03/2015 23:35:09 | Einstein@Home | [http] [ID#1102] Info: HTTP error before end of send, stop sending
30/03/2015 23:35:09 | Einstein@Home | Backing off 05:53:16 on upload of PM0013_01611_196_2_0

I thought I'd reported that, but I'l check in the morning.

It isn't a case of where the file is located - there's also the question of how it's defined in client_state.xml. You would need to remove the reference (temporarily) as well, and that's tricky. Just leave it alone until the morning.

Hi Richard,
Thanks, I'll leave it be for now.
So far I have 2 WU in the same state of play:-( And since I made the mistake of hitting update I also now have over 20 WU in my cache:-(

Looks as if I'm going to have to run E@H on its own and for at over 12 hours to clear up those tasks..

Be a real bummer if everything ends up sitting in the outbound queue..

Damn power bill is going to go up again:-/
