1) Message boards : Server programs : Problem with upperCASE, output file absent
Message 31083
Posted 17 Feb 2010 by cederstrom 		Hi,

I am new to BOINC and I have been trying to setup a server in order to do a small experiment for my master thesis.

I have tried using the quick start and project cookbook guides on the wiki but with an issue when trying to compute WUs.

I then turned to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/contrib/bashford_cookbook.txt and followed it to the letter. I set the rights for the directories cig_bin/, log_debian/ and upload/ with
chmod a=rxw <dir>


I run the server from the virtual machine image supplied here on the wiki. My client runs on a Debian Lenny virtual machine.

All the networking is working as it should and I can connect to the server, create a user and then download WUs. The tasks go from 0% to 100% in no time and the message log on the client says:

uc3	Sun 14 Feb 2010 08:23:53	Starting task wu_1250267069_46_0 using uppercase version 107
uc3	Sun 14 Feb 2010 08:23:59	Computation for task wu_1250267069_46_0 finished
uc3	Sun 14 Feb 2010 08:23:59	Output file wu_1250267069_46_0_0 for task wu_1250267069_46_0 absent


My problem is very similar to the ones described in http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=3055 and http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=5407 but none of those solutions helped me.

Does anyone have any sugestions? I am all out, I have been trying to get the sample application working now for three days :/

Thanks in advance!

For reference: this is my result_template
<file_info>
        <name><OUTFILE_0/></name>
        <generated_locally/>
        <upload_when_present/>
        <max_nbytes>100000</max_nbytes>
        <url><UPLOAD_URL/></url>
</file_info>
<result>
        <file_ref>
                <file_name><OUTFILE_0/></file_name>
                <open_name>out</open_name>
                <copy_file/>
        </file_ref>
</result>


and this is my work_unit_template:
<file_info>
        <number>0</number>
</file_info>
<workunit>
        <file_ref>
                <file_number>0</file_number>
                <open_name>in</open_name>
                <copy_file/>
        </file_ref>
</workunit>

What change are you referring to?
uc2.cpp is deployed along with boinc source code.


I too have these problems. Did you just compile the content of /sample/example_app with
$ autoreconfig -if
$ ./configure
$ make

and then copied the executable into the /project/project_name/apps/app_name/app_name_version/ and the signed it manually?
