There could be a missing commandline for llr64.

try this form if you have an input template:

llr64_job.xml file contents:
<job_desc>
<task>
<application>llr64</application>
<append_cmdline_args/>
</task>
</job_desc>
22) Message boards : Questions and problems : Project SRBase not communicating with BOINC Manager (Message 79547)
Posted 12 Jul 2017 by rebirther
Post:
I see that they changed their URL from http://srbase.myfirewall.org/sr5/ to http://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/, with a dash between my and firewall in the address. You'll find their website is up&running there, I assume you'll have to use the same new address to add the project to BOINC.

I'll tell David to change the URLs in all the appropriate places, although it would ever be so nice if projects did that themselves.


I have reported this issue already in the dev list but nothing was changed yet.
23) Message boards : Server programs : Custom Deadlines (Message 75723)

Post:
Hi Christian,
Sorry I should have been more specific. I meant how can I control the deadline when I create the work unit. I'm using the create_work binary supplied with BOINC so just guess I add --delay_bound argument with a value in seconds?

Cheers
Seth


correct, add this line with values in seconds:

<delay_bound>xxx</delay_bound>

Thanks Jord!

I seem to have overcome the limitations I was experiencing but it's unclear exactly what change I made to the config had an impact. Certainly changing:

<shmem_work_items>1000</shmem_work_items>
<feeder_query_size>2000</feeder_query_size>

Has made a difference plus there was an error in my cc_config.xml that I fixed.

My AWS C4.8xlarge BOINC client instance that was exhibiting the problems previously has been running fine now for over 2 hours so fingers crossed there.

Cheers
Seth


The <feeder_query_size>2000</feeder_query_size> is too high, mine is crashing at 1000

Post:
My own project, I dun built one myself ya see!

Yes I understand what BOINC is.

In Any case I fixed the issue with the client not getting enough work initially by tweaking cc_config.xml settings.

However eventually the scheduler stops giving it new tasks to perform. Is it hitting some daily limit?

It's not a quota error I'm getting. simply: "Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks"

in my project config.xml I have:
<daily_result_quota>10000</daily_result_quota>

and also:
<max_wus_to_send>200</max_wus_to_send>

Could either of these be impacting a new client?

Cheers
Seth


You should debug the server to see whats wrong with the client request.

Too few input files given; need at least 1

An input file is missing. If you dont need one create an empty file:

/home/private/BOINC/server/bin/create_work --appname mayatest_5223 --wu_name mayatest_5223_nodelete --wu_template ./templates/mayatest_5223_in --result_template templates/mayatest_5223_out input.txt

Hi,
I am doing some experiments with boinc server & client (both linux system)
(boinc version : 7.0.27)

but after several jobs running on client side,
I got the message as title in my event log and it doesn't download new works anymore,
I would like to know how to set the daily quota to 'unlimit' for every user,
has anyone else come across this? thanks


You could check the host table and change the field "max_results_day" to 0 or a very high number.

Hi All,

The CPDN project will be taken offline on Monday 18th July at 10:45am for a few hours. This will be in order for some work to be conducted on the underlying GPFS infrastructure on which the project VMs reside. We will restore the project as soon as the work has completed.

With regards,

Andy


Do you have the new url for the cpdn beta project?

SRBase is down for the moment, the server crashed, have no access to the VM and cant reboot. Iam trying to fix this somehow but I dont know how long it will take.

Edit:
It looks like its still online but dont have access to the GUI VM, thats odd.

I dont know if the error is related to the special characters in project.xml but try to change the lines without "/"

We are using also special characters at BU so the problem could be the python or mysql version which you have installed.
