I was finally able to upload the workunit my computer finished yesterday, but not the one it finished today. Attempting to upload it gave some unfamiliar messages: 12/1/2008 11:43:36 PM|rosetta@home|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.

For those that are still having issues with your boinc client not getting the new scheduler url from our master url and if you would rather not detach and reattach the project which should fix the issue if updating doesn't. You can do the following: 1. stop the boinc client. 2. manually edit the client_state.xml, client_state_prev.xml, and master_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml files in the BOINC client data directory by changing all occurrences of "https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta_cgi/cgi" to "http://srv4.bakerlab.org/rosetta_cgi/cgi". This should be between If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for an easier fix, I'm all ears. The redirection does not appear to work so I removed it. |

You can do the following: Does these suggestions lose all existing work? If so I really don't appreciate losing 4+ cpu hours per WU! Note this would be worst when you change the default to 6 hours. |

You can do the following: it is only redirecting your communications/scheduler to the new correct server. should have no impact on your tasks in process. only do this if you are still having communications trouble. |

The only suggestion I've seen that would cause you to lose any work is if you reset the project. It will lose the work, and start from scratch. Getting the new scheduler URL, and also downloading all of the base files Rosetta uses, for each application version you receive tasks for. The client will retry, and wait and retry, and eventually double check the master file. At that point it will begin to use the new scheduler URL all by itself. No manual changes required.

For those that are still having issues with your boinc client not getting the new scheduler url from our master url and if you would rather not detach and reattach the project which should fix the issue if updating doesn't. You can do the following: Have your DNS guy create a CNAME alias for schedular.bakaerlab.org and point that to the A record of whatever machine will be doing the scheduling. i.e. $origin bakerlab.org. schedular CNAME srv4.bakerlab.org. (don't forget the trailing period) Then publish the permanent URL for the schedular as http://schedular.bakerlab.org/rosetta_cgi/cgi Then if you ever need to change the machine that runs the schedular, it's only a global DNS change and does not impact any client... If you set the refresh and timeouts short on the zone these changes can be made to propagate really quickly too... sometimes in a couple of minutes.. Looking for a team ??? Join BoincSynergy!! |

message from server:progect incountered internal error:shared memory... When I try to update so I can recieve more tasks and have finnished tasks retrieved, I get this message. Is there a problem with rosetta or my wu? Hi; I get the same thing... Whenever my computer tries to upload any completed tasks, it receives the message: Message from server: Server error: can't attach shared memory. I wonder if I did something? But I don't think so, as I have not changed anything in my prefs for either boinc manager or the web site. Fix it Folks! Larry LarryB56 |

Hitting 'update' about 10 times worked for me. PITA on 20 boxes, though. I guess I could have done it thru boingmanager. Thanks moderators and others for the suggestion. /amgthis

We recently updated the web site with the latest BOINC code. Please post any issues with the web site in this thread. This update includes new features in the forum, spam filters, and a fix for merging hosts. Any word on when the server memory problem will be fixed? I have two machines waiting. Thanks Lee Coin |

Lee, your client will update itself in fairly short order. But you have to get it to attempt contact to the project by allowing more work. Then just leave it alone for a day and see what it does all by itself. Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense |

Suggested modification to the web site to avoid losing more participants: Under Rosetta@home preferences, add the following feature, similar to what I've seen on other BOINC projects: A number of selections for which workunits are allowed on this computer. For example: 1) test for workunits using a program that's passed RALPH but still needs some performance testing before being released to everyone. For now, I'd put workunits using the new features of minirosetta added in 1.39 and 1.40 in this class. 2) minirosetta for the other workunits using any version of minirosetta. 3) rosetta_beta for workunits using that program. I'd set it up so all of them are enabled for users who haven't set any of them yet, except disable test for users who create accounts after this feature is added unless they then enable it. This should avoid any problems using computers where these settings haven't been made yet. |

I recently upgraded my version of BOINC from 5.10.45 to 6.2.28. Before that, I had selected 14 CPU hours as the preferred workunit length. Both of the Rosetta@home workunits I've downloaded since the BOINC upgrade came with an expected length of 29 hours. Are you out of 14 hour workunits? Or does Rosetta@home have problems with the combination of BOINC 6.2.28 and a selection of 14 hours as the preferred length? 1/1/2009 1:08:22 PM|rosetta@home|Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.

Mod.Sense suggested a quick fix for this by using the Redirect directive on our webserver. The main question now is does the client handle redirects so please let me know if this fixes the issue or not. Note that I've seen messages of other BOINC projects indicating that if you make certain updates to the selection of servers, just one update is not enough to make clients download the file specifying which servers to use; instead, it takes about 10 updates in a row that try to download at least one workunit, but don't succeed in downloading any at all. |
