Grad students don't get weekends off!

Maybe in Kalifornia they do...

Hope they get the points server back online soon it would be nice to know how my new 780 is doing. I'm sure the server needs a physical reset nothing that can be fixed by remoting in.

I must admit, I didn't expect that "as many as we can" would be zero

I am very surprised if the statistics server at PG can not be reset from the remote. The problem is that they do not have the readiness for it. I can reboot all of my 6 servers from remote via IPMI from any location in the world, but I'm only an amateur who has folding as a hobby and cover the expenses private. I'm also pretty sure I have better uptime for my servers than Stanford can manage.

Idk the nature of the problem. However, if it is HW-related, what good would a remote reset do, assuming it's even doable?

I think I'd expect a remote reset to be possible from (maybe only some) other computers on the Stanford network, I'd be mildly surprised if "remote" meant "over an internet link".

Altough is cause of worry not to be able to see the progress when contribuiting on Folding@home, the most important thing, at least for me, is that the work done these days will be not lost, anybody getting the points deserved by the contributions. It is early morning on Stanford, so I will wait until the last timed update in Kakao (around 10:00 PM) before shutting down the clients on my machines. I really expect the overhaul commented by Dr. Pande goes smoothly and we regain the stats, updated correctly.....

No need to shut the clients down (unless there's some other reason as well), it's extremely unlikely that you'll lose any points.

This sort of thing has happened before (and will probably happen again)- WUs are being returned properly and PG take great care not to lose their returned WUs, and if they don't go missing then nor will your points. They'll just be a bit later arriving than usual.

Hello, I have recently started folding again after a few years break.

My stats where updating fine until 2 days ago. I have completed many work units since then with no points showing in the stats.

Can anyone advise where to start troubleshooting this problem?

- Thanks!

(Mod: Merged with existing topic, stats server is down - no troubleshooting required on your end.)

I'm surprised that no one has reported this issue yet. It appears that two days have been lost and I know that I have submitted WUs.

Peace?

Same issue... Hopefully it is resolved when someone gets to the desk at Stanford.

Please read Dr. Pande's post again. Clearly the "overhaul" he mentioned requires more than a simple reset.

Having the same problem here, though I'm looking forward to seeing my points leap up suddenly when they fix it

There is no need for you to do anything. PG will take care of the problem when they wake up an start working on the problem.
