Where problem is? |

It should just be temporary, (transient), at a time when the server was overloaded with computers wanting to upload files. I've been having no problems. Backups: Here |

I think the admins need to move the log file or something. It's probably run out of disk space (with the backlog of uploads that wouldn't be surprising). Hopefully Jonathan or one of the other guys will notice and fix it soon. BOINC blog |

It should just be temporary, (transient), at a time when the server was overloaded with computers wanting to upload files. If it's either a log file problem or a lack of disk space, the reason for the upload failure would appear in your local BOINC client message/event log (which the admins can't see directly). Why not help them find the cause of the problem by quoting the error message which you can see? |

A server always seems to go down on bank holiday weekend. Is rain getting into the system? |

I have a http error while trying to upload a zip file + one of the upload servers is down (http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/server_status.html) but there are others online... Last time I tried to upload was 1 or 2 weeks ago (I crunch on an offline machine and move WU with USB key on a windows VM into my home Mac when they are terminated, and request new work from the VM), and it was down too... I have now 4 WU waiting for upload... the good thing is that the deadline is faaaaar away ;) |

Seems that the problem is only with the eu uploads -- pnw uploads work here, eu don't even the _01 uploads fail. The one server is reported as down. @Dave -- yeah Murphy's law says that all system failures will happen at the worst time. And on a re-assuring note -- in the last 8 years crunching for climateprediction -- the staff has always fixed problems without losing data. Usually in a day or 2, once it took almost 2 weeks when they had a serious hardware failure. They got mirrors they got logs they got backups. I've learned to trust their backups. Wish my own home backup system was as good. Please keep posting any upload problems here. And keep on crunching. Eric |

As I said, since there is such a long deadline it's not a real problem, only a pain :D |

Is there any update on this. I have a few EU uploads waiting and I have WUs still working but I don't want to waste time crunching the WUs if the issue isn't going to be resolved and the data lost. |

Jonathan and the team will get this sorted, I know it has been a bit longer than usual on this occasion - maybe he is on holiday or something. In the years I have been with the project these problems have always been resolved without data loss - all the data is stored on a mirrored raid array and regularly backed up externally as well. Hopefully one day the project will get the money it deserves which would allow newer better hardware and more staff to look after it. The only advice I can offer is a phrase I heard regularly when in the forces, "Hurry up and wait!" Dave |

uploader1.atm seems to back on-line and one of my eu work units thats been trying to upload for a week has finally gone through. A big thank you to the guys for fixing it up. BOINC blog |

Good to see the server back on line, have I been unobservant or is srv1.cpdn.psu.edu new in the past week or so? I must get back in the habit of backing up my work units - just lost a couple due to power outage. "The chances of a power of disk failure is proportional to at least the square of the time since the last backup." |

The project team believe they have resolved all of the upload server issues. If anyone is still having problems uploading please let us know. have I been unobservant or is srv1.cpdn.psu.edu new in the past week or so? That's an upload server which hasn't been used for some time Dave. I don't pay much attention to the green on the server status page, but it may well have been returned to active service.

It's still broken here. I get logs full of: [file_xfer_debug] URL: http://cpdn-restarts.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cgi-bin/file_upload_handler [file_xfer_debug] FILE_XFER_SET::poll(): http op done, retval -107 [file_xfer_debug] file transfer status -107 when attempting to upload _13 hada* results. I can ping http://cpdn-restarts.oerc.ox.ac.uk successfully from the machines running cpdn. |

Welcome to the Twilight Zone. Don't adjust your horizontal, your vertical, or your mind, just some spellings on your computer. There's a problem with some flavours of Linux that cause a character string to become corrupted when it's stored on the computer in question. This has been discussed in several threads, (probably under several Topics), on our php board. This is one thread. The cure is to **carefully** edit client_state.xml, and correct the corruption. One spelling is hnndler, but there are others. Do a search on the 4 character model name, then check each line until you find the upload section for zip 13, then look at the spelling. Backups: Here |

Oh dear == thought this problem had gone away - follow the advice on the thread Les referred to And please follow this advice about stopping BOINC and the CPDN models and doing a backup before editing the client-state.xml If you follow the procedure to correct the misspellings -uploads will start working. Keep on keeping on. |
