1) Message boards : BOINC client : segmentation violation
Message 16294
Posted 1 Apr 2008 by peschue
I have this problem and found out something strange:

sched_reply_lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome.xml contains a web page instead of a scheduler reply xml document.

I used wireshark to find out which request causes this:

My computer does a "POST /lhcathome_cgi/cgi HTTP/1.1" request on "lhcathome.cern.chrn" and receives a "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"

which contains (among a lot of other HTML) the message "The document has moved <a href="http://lhcathome.cern.ch/">here</a>"

The BOINC client then does a "Get /" on that URL and I think the result is stored in the sched_reply...xml file.

The reason is that LHC is currently down for maintenance, but this should not cause the reply XMLs to contain semi-garbage...

Is there a possibility to delete some file(s) to find out what is causing the segfault or is there some other known fix for this problem?
