I'm trying to bring up a new machine and I am getting:

There was some maintanence work being done on the project this morning.

Are you still having that problem?

Yes still having the problem.

2005-11-04 07:56:46 [rosetta@home] Deferring communication with project for 1 hours, 23 minutes, and 10 seconds

Tried various versions (4.x,5.x) of the client also.
Currently using:
BOINC client version 5.2.6 for i686-pc-linux-gnu

Check out this wiki page to see if it helps.

What is the URL you're trying to connect to?

Are you running a firewall?

I am connecting to: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta as in the email from
registration. Just like all the others.

I know connectivity is good. I have other machines on this net working.

I can fetch from bakerlab.
wget https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta

Do you have other linux boxen on the network that work ok ?

Which distro are you using in this case ?

I've had issues similar to this with some. Mostly due I think to libcurl incompatibilities. Usually a different client version will work, or compiling your own.

Its running mandriva newest 2006.
Got others running this. Tried 4-5 different clients including one from another working box.

Well OK it just started working. Another one of life's mysteries.
Thanks for your interest and time!

I'm glad it's working :)

(damn gremlins)

Maybe I spoke too soon. Now I get work but already had serveral of these:

2005-11-04 08:51:41 [rosetta@home] Unrecoverable error for result 1hz7A_abrelaxmode_random_only_length10_jitter02_3
5489_0 (process exited with code 1 (0x1))


2005-11-04 08:52:25 [rosetta@home] Result 1hz7A_abrelaxmode_test_35444_0 exited with zero status but no 'finished' file

Reset the project.

I occasionally get that when it's been having difficulty downloading all the files. A reset fixes it.

There's also another thread about errors on linux...

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=201

It might be worth a read, but I don't know if it's applicable to you.

:)

The "no finished file" problem is benign. There were some older versions that were prone to this if the system clock is changed. The Science Application and the BOINC Daemon would be on a different timeline and lose lock on.

This was changed and seems to be less of a problem (I have not seen it at all in 4.72 ... knock wood) but, there is no need to reset the project.
