My large collection have now all uploaded, so things have improved.

Backups: Here

Yes all my files have now uploaded. Yesterday I actually got error messages from the server before the upload started...I had planned to send in those server error messages but I got sidetracked....

So all files are uploaded but the Project has no tasks to work on...I hope that changes soon...

Upload all of .zip files is OK.
Some PCs have tasks for 3-4 days only. Hopefully, the new job soon.

hi Greg, all's well. In the small hours I was just about to shut down network activity overnight when I found everything had finally uploaded ok. I think it was several people reporting success in the previous hours that got me slightly concerned while it looked like the servers all had green flags.

let's hope the long period of recurrent server problems is eventually overcome.
now I just need to clear the cache of SIMAPs before returning to my HADAM eu models! :)

Its all Green...... but uploads not playing again with:-

Maybe it will become UNtransient in a while.

EDIT: This issue has now been resolved, and problems encountered as of 10.00 am BST on 18 June 2012 are likely to be due to the servers struggling to catch up with a weekend of uploads.

Sorry everyone, but the data centre in which we host our servers has had a mystery network problem since Thursday 14 June 15:45 GMT.

The problem manifests as intermittent loss of network within the data centre, which means that the project servers cannot communicate with oneanother.

The error below is because the upload server you are trying to use cannot see the network file storage that it want to write your result to.

I have taken cpdn-upload2.oerc and cpdn-restarts.oerc offine until this is resolved.

I am dependent upon other people to look at this issue, and it is now gone 4 pm on the last day of University term, so I don't hold out any hope at all of a fix until Monday.

Sorry.

Jonathan

Last of 6 uploads almost finished now, so looks like all is sorted.

Dave

Works for me too.

The servers have been working OK for some time now, so your problem must be due to a different cause.

How many files are stuck?
Have you shut down both parts of BOINC, and then restarted them?
Have you tried the above, and restarted the computer while BOINC was stopped?

19/06/2012 21:08:25 | climateprediction.net | Temporarily failed upload of hadam3p_eu_4j8v_1999_1_007309876_1_13.zip: can't resolve hostname

That task (the second one listed for WU hadam3p_eu_4j8v_1999_1_007309876) was issued on 27th June 2011. I wonder if the upload file is being sent to a system on the oucs.ox.ac.uk network rather than the oerc.ox.ac.uk network. A redirect was in place to handle that, but if that's not working it would explain the hostname resolution failure.

To find out exactly what's happening create the file cc_config.xml (using a plain text editor, e.g. notepad rather than wordpad) in your BOINC data directory containing the following:

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<http_debug>1</http_debug>
</log_flags>
</cc_config>

In BOINC Manager's advanced view click Advanced - Read config file, force an upload retry on the Transfers tab, and post the resulting HTTP debug messages. Once you've got the messages you shpuld change the <http_debug> value in the file from 1 to 0 and reload the config file to disable the debug messages; once you've done that you can delete the cc_config.xml.

Thanks Thyme Lawn seems like you nailed it. Event Log with debug on below.
Question is, do I dump the WU or can it be sent somewhere useful?

We are no longer allowed to use the DNS names containing .OUCS
We have moved over to using .OERC.

We were graciously allowed to use the domain name for 9 months during the transition period. My requests for a transition period of a year were vetoed by managers in my department, for their own inexplicable reasons.

If you are trying to upload to climateapps1.oucs.ox.ac.uk then you now need

cpdn-restarts.oerc.ox.ac.uk

129.67.195.121

If you could convince your machine (perhaps through /etc/hosts on a linux machine) to use this address instead, then you can upload it.

Otherwise, I am afraid you will have to trash it.

Jonathan

Alternatively you could stop BOINC, edit the client_state.xml file to change every occurrence of climateapps1.oucs.ox.ac.uk to cpdn-restarts.oerc.ox.ac.uk and restart BOINC.

The project has disabled upload signatures (forced by changes in BOINC 7.*) so you shouldn't have to worry about leaving anything inside <signed_xml></signed_xml> blocks unchanged.

"The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Ok I am a bit confused...

For a long time I had 8 models crunching. I was happy to do the 400hr models but for separate reasons on three occasions in the past 12 months I had a Windoze 7 blue screen of death and this unfortunately trashed some of those models. I was also happy to do the 100hr models because there was a reduced chance of corrupting models.

Recently there have been problems uploading results and lengthy delays to get this resolved. Once this upload was achieved there was a paucity of models to download but eventually after a week I got two models.

I have kept BOINC internet access open all the time to try and get new models to maximise my processor, but to no avail. This morning the 2 models I have tried to upload three times (I have to stop my internet access while this happens) but they errored:

Ques:
1) Is this temporary or do I have to make changes within the BOINC setup?
2) Is it my imagination or is the climate change project a bit 'rocky' at the moment?

If the answer to ques 2 is yes then that would be a shame. Is it short of money? Is there not a grant to do this research?

Climate Change is a real threat and we need to have analytical ammunition to fight the corporates and politicians who want to carry on with 'business as usual' and trash the planet.

Cheers

BTW apologies for this broad post.

I am getting the same error, except I am doing pnw models. I manages to get to 100% and then fails.

Mine are uploading for 10-15 minutes and then failing at the 100% mark, then going into retry where they waste another 15 minutes trying to upload again and so on and so on. A total waste of bandwidth.

same here on my old machine with a European model. (just noticed boinc not running on the other machine so no news from that machine until it runs for a bit).
