Hi,

Have a problem with Ubuntu 10.04 x64, get "Scheduler request failed: HTTP file not found" while the 32 bit Ubuntu 10.04 works on my laptop without this 'error'

Anyone...

Mon 14 Jun 2010 09:07:09 PM CEST Leiden Classical Scheduler request failed: HTTP file not found

Because mr Juriaan Bakx is situated in my building; I passed by ;-). But having discussed his issue; we have not found a cause yet.

Hi,
Have the same here on Ubuntu 10.04 x64 for a few days. Here is the latest.

Mon 21 Jun 2010 04:24:49 PM CDT Leiden Classical Scheduler request failed: HTTP file not found


____________

H'mmm, according to the dump below; this is not because of a new client or something... I'll investigate the HTTP logs today...

m.
____________
M.F. Somers

According to the Apache logs; the client makes a request to a non-existent url. It tries to hit Classical_ci instead of Classical_cgi. Given the fact that plenty other clients work just fine, I'm beginning to suspect a small bug in the client. The networking (TCP/IP) should be fault tolerant.

I am having a similar problem - have a number of WU's sitting trying over and over to upload.
Machine is i7-920, Win 7 x64 Ultimate.
Whilst the "credit" is nothing to really worry about, I dont like throwing my electricity away, so I would like to find a solution and get them up before deadlines if possible.
Any and all help greatly appreciated !
Have included the message log from a cpl of them:

Same with me. Unable to upload results for more than 24 hours now. Error is that servers may be temporarily down.
I have noticed on BoincStats that the project shows sometimes on-line, sometimes off-line, during this period.

-ChinookFöhn

Well the servers are online here 24h 7 days a week... Well should be, as it turns out; a power glitch occurred here in Leiden a day or so ago; apparently one of the servers did not mount the NFS mount correctly. Has been fixed, no work should be lost and I'll keep an eye on it for now...

Yes, all tasks uploaded overnight.

-ChinookFöhn

But the upload failures in 'doze wasn't the original problem posted... or at least these sound like two different issues (and messages).

I have found this "Scheduler request failed: HTTP file not found" error on a freshly set up Ubuntu v10.04 x64 machine running the Berkeley boinc v6.10.56.

... So I'm thinking this issue (today anyway) is only with the Linux x64 boinc v6.10.56 from Berkeley. Why I'm only seeing it on this project is a mystery but it seems it has shown up on other projects at various times in the past.

Have same problem on Ubuntu 10.04 Server x64 with BOINC 6.10.58 :(

From client_state.xml the scheduler url: http://boinc.gorlaeus.net/Classical_ci//cgi

While it should be (?): http://boinc.gorlaeus.net/Classical_cgi/cgi

Changing it manually will not help since after each update the url get changed back to wrong one.
____________

Same here. Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit and Boinc client 6.10.58, I've been unable to access Leiden Scheduler.
____________

Please convince yourself that if you go to boinc.gorlaeus.net and look at the page source, you will find the correct url to the scheduler: <scheduler> http://boinc.gorlaeus.net/Classical_cgi/cgi </scheduler>. If the client has something different; the issue is a bug in the BOINC client itself. TCP/IP does ensure correct transport.

Found another issue:

File upload handler also screwed up, in client_state.xml:

There is clearly a client-side issue going on; with a different ubuntu / client you have a fine running system. I did not change anything server-side here => client-side issue. Do you expect from this project that we also solve all your linux/boinc client issues?

m.
____________
M.F. Somers

Then BOINC client probably contains code

I tried finding the origin of this issue within the BOINC client, and filed a bug for it. Someone has just today proposed a possible reason/solution and I'm going to try the suggested patch in the near future.

For the record, http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/1033

Thanx, I think it will be solved now looking at the ticket.

I think there is a problem from both sides.
Surely, there is a bug within the BOINC client of not proper handling of whitespaces.
But then why is the project using whitespaces in the first place?
None of the other project are using them in their master files.
If you want a quick fix, then I would assume getting rid of the whitespace would solve this.

I created Debian packages with the patches included:

http://www.derchris.eu/boinc/

You would only need the boinc, boinc_client and boinc_manager.
The boinc.tar.gz file includes just the patched binaries, in case you use the binaries from Berkeley.

Hi,

I have the same problem on one of my systems (ID 93662) after an upgrade from opensuse 11.3 to 12.1. The boinc client is the same as before the upgrade so may be one of the system libs causes the problem.

On the other hand all other projects I run on this system run fine after the upgrade.

First I tried to correct the corrupted URL http://boinc.gorlaeus.net/Classical_ci//cgi in client_state.xml manually.
After that I got workunits but at the end of each WU they were shown as calculation errors on your website.

Another corrupted URL in my client_state.xml is that of the upload handler (Classical_cgi/file_upload_hnddler) and is also mentioned below.

In difference to other Projects there are whitespace characters at the beginning and at the end of the URLs in your main file. May be this causes the problems. Perhaps you can create a main file without them.

Regards

Removed the spaces in the URLs for the scheduler...

Thank you

I reattached my system and it looks good for now.

download masterfile: ok
download first WU: ok
URLs in client_state.xml: ok

I´ll write a short message here after a few WUs have finished.

After processing a couple of WUs I got calculation errors for each of them during upload because of a missing result file.

I found that classical did not produce a file of the form project_dir/wu_id_0_1 but instead one of the form slot/number/classical.tddout.
In client_state.xml there is a section

• stopping boinc
  
• manually correcting client_state.xml
  
• moving slot/number/classical.tddout to project_dir/wu_id_0_1
  
• restarting boinc
  

the WU was finished with success.

I guess that the corrupt command line is again a result of whitespace characters. In this case in the file sched_reply_boinc.gorlaeus.net.
The entire section looks like

Looked into this; alas not trivial to change (all WUs and RUs in database need changes for that to happen)...

I'm back (oh no, not him again)!

URL issues seems to be solved now, but i also encounter calculation errors.
I checked the files according to things described by computezrmle, and concluded it's the same issue.
All wu's calculated are uploaded with following error:

When does the hurting stop...?

Tried to run this project again, hoping problems were solved by now... again disappointment.

Looked into this; alas not trivial to change (all WUs and RUs in database need changes for that to happen)...

m.

Well, you'd be suprised; all WU and result enries in the data base are reganerated from one single original one. That one contains spaces. Attempts to modify that (aka removing spaces) will result in a signature mismatch => download error. Removing this means stopping the workflow (stop automatically generating WUs) which means drying the project. This affects many (ALL) users. The error we are dealing with only affects 1% or less of the users/volunteers. All in all the xml parsing error is within the client and having spaces there is not invalid xml as such. So... the situation; there is a bug in the clients XML parsing that affects less than 1% of the volunteers and the assumed workarround (not sure and surely not tested) is stopping a project and all outstanding work for that? See my point?
