Hi there, I just had problems with a result from Einstein, something had gone wrong with the upload. Here's the thread in the forum over there: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_thread.php?id=9212
Somehow 3 files of one result, which should upload 8 files if done, did upload fine, but my machine didn't get it. In the client_state.xml they were still marked as <persistent file transfer>. The logs in my BOINC messages were very misleading, they said that I had problems connecting with the file_upload_handler, that the file_upload_handler was not to be found.

Gary Roberts suggested a very strange, but somehow probably right, interpretation of the log entries: > [It] doesn't actually say that a URL wasn't found. I interpret it to > mean that the file_upload_handler (whose URL was given) has reported > back a 'not found' message for the file that it was told to upload - > the file whose name was given in the first line. If this interpretation is right, which seems to be the case, why is there such a misleading message? The message clearly says something's wrong on the server side, at least for me. If the files for uploading are not on my machine, as they were, it should say something along the lines: Do 08 Dez 2011 20:49:55 CET | Einstein@Home | [fxd] starting upload, upload_offset 0 Do 08 Dez 2011 20:49:55 CET | Einstein@Home | [file_xfer] Couldn't start upload of p2030.20100614.G46.20-00.29.C.b0s0g0.00000_3344_0_2 Do 08 Dez 2011 20:49:55 CET | Einstein@Home | [file_xfer] File p2030.20100614.G46.20-00.29.C.b0s0g0.00000_3344_0_2 was not found on your computer Do 08 Dez 2011 20:49:55 CET | Einstein@Home | [file_xfer] Please check your program folders and client_state.xml for any errors _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
