Linux SMP client WU return error

axlecrusher · 09-07-07, 06:44 PM

Hello, it has been a while since my last post, probably over 2 years. Anyway I try to run folding when I can, always without any problems. I recently installed the amd64 SMP client for linux. (This is my first experience with the SMP client. I traditionally run multiple instances of the client.) I have processed through at least 5 work units although none of them have been sent back. FAH reports that it is unable to connect to the server to send the WU back. However if I direct my browser to the server address, the server replies with an "OK", so I know I can connect to the server.

I have never had this problem in my several years of folding.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I was going to suggest that it might be a port filtering issue, but I cannot imagine that the SMP client handles this any differently then the standard one. And since it is downloading units (since you said you've done 5), it IS connecting to the server.

Stumps me.

I remember the name axelcrusher.

Is the config set to us Internet Explorer settings? If so, set it to no.

Were you folding under linux before you started with the smp client?

It might help trigger some ideas if you could post your log (use code tags for it)

Also, having -verbosity 9 set wil maximize the connection details in the log.

Code:

an example of code tag

Ah yes, the "Name that error", game. Lovely!!

Post that bad boy log file, be sure to include where it's starting up so we can see what flags are mentioned in the initialization string.

And find the cause, we will!

axlecrusher · 09-08-07, 11:47 AM

No the config is not set to use Internet Explorer settings.
Here is the config file.

Code:

[settings]
username=axlecrusher
team=32
asknet=no
bigpackets=yes
machineid=1

[http]
active=no
host=localhost
port=8080

When I was previously folding under linux, I was not using the SMP client. I always used at least 2 clients in different folders. Also note that I have never folded on this particular machine.

Here is the start script if anyone cares.

Code:

echo "Starting Folding\n"
cd /home/folding
su folding -c ./fah5 > consoleLog.txt&

Here is the log.

Code:

The "potential conflict" was my fault from manually running another process.

Here is the verbose log from ./fah5 -send 4 -verbosity 9

axlecrusher Member Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: Maryland	Linux SMP client WU return error Hello, it has been a while since my last post, probably over 2 years. Anyway I try to run folding when I can, always without any problems. I recently installed the amd64 SMP client for linux. (This is my first experience with the SMP client. I traditionally run multiple instances of the client.) I have processed through at least 5 work units although none of them have been sent back. FAH reports that it is unable to connect to the server to send the WU back. However if I direct my browser to the server address, the server replies with an "OK", so I know I can connect to the server. I have never had this problem in my several years of folding. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Axle

Varnel Join Date: May 2006	I was going to suggest that it might be a port filtering issue, but I cannot imagine that the SMP client handles this any differently then the standard one. And since it is downloading units (since you said you've done 5), it IS connecting to the server. Stumps me.

pscout Senior Newbie Cannon-Fodder - R. I. P. good buddy :( Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Toronto	Were you folding under linux before you started with the smp client? It might help trigger some ideas if you could post your log (use code tags for it) Also, having -verbosity 9 set wil maximize the connection details in the log.
