Can't see anything in the log you posted. Wrap it in code tags instead of quote tags.

Run qfix in your FAH directory and it should fix it.

[Jolly-Swagman]

Had to get qfix - now seems to be sending,

Thanks ChasR

Nope got sent back to Queue ,, the 171.64.122.76:8080 sever sends it back

Nope got sent back to Queue ,, the 171.64.122.76:8080 sever sends it back

OK, the server sees it as an EUE WU.

We used to delete them and post up the specific numbers for it (Project, Run, Generation, Clone), to Stanford's forum so they could troubleshoot it.

But that was awhile back, so I'm not sure what they recommend we do with this WU now.

If you'll post up the Project, run, generation, and clone numbers, I'll ask about this in Stanford's forum, if you like.

Your log post had the WU after the troublemaker, so I don't want that one.

I would be very tempted to just delete it because it's a bad WU, and if Qfix couldn't fix it the first time, I believe it won't fix it the second time, either.

The Stanford Forum guys looked into this problem and here's what they came up with:



Hi T32monkeys (team 32),
Your WU (P2614 R2 C380 G7) was added to the stats database on 2008-05-13 18:17:59 for 287 points of credit.

which is followed by several unsuccessful resubmissions for the same user and team.

If you are folding this unit as T32monkeys, your machine is still trying to send this unit back at intervals of 6-8 hours.

I suggest dumping the queue and work folder and starting fresh with a new unit. When the current unit next expires, the assignment servers should check to see that it was already returned, and break the cycle.


So stop FAH and delete the entire work sub directory of fah, as well as the queue file in the main fah directory, and start fresh. :)

That should put the pesky thing to bed.

Thanks Adak ,, all fixed when the team finished the Chimp Challenge the last WU sent then deleted Queue and Work folder got reset.
