ive been stuck with my vmware smp clients not sending in results. i have even whiped out the folder and redid the clients. the clients worked couple of days ago. i have 2 gpu clients running strong with no problems. I have disabled windows fire wall. (VISTA 64) and also tried disabling firewall on router. with restart no luck still no send. any ideas?

Two observations:
1) You're only showing a 503 error with a single Collection Server so we need more of your FAHlog. Collection servers, like 171.67.108.25, are a backup for the primary Work Server. Error 503 indicates it's busy, which is a relatively common problem and the Pande Group knows that the only fix for them is better server hardware and software, overall.
2) A 2-hour problem uploading a result isn't considered serious. The client is designed to hold the output in queue and move on to downloading a new wprl assignment from a different server. The upload will be retried later, automatically, so be patient.

Your client did have trouble downloading a new assignment. This is a more important problem. I see other discussions about this issue and one of the Mods has notified the Pande Group. Presumably that is being or has been worked on by now (9:30 AM Stanford time).

Welcome to the foldingforum, Prohibition.

See the answers in my previous post regarding uploading to a Collection Server. You have included information about the primary work server failing to accept the upload, and that's useful information but I'll still say that uploading problems are less significant than downloading problems. The important perspective here is that the current WU has reached 11% and is still being processed so your system is working, not waiting. What you're seeing here is the client automatically retrying an upload that failed either because a server was off-line or too busy. That's the way the client is supposed to work when there's a server problem.

Once the current WU passes 100% and the client tries to get new work again, you may have the same problem as patonb, but you should face that problem if and when it happens. Hopefully it will be fixed by then. In either case, there's nothing you can do about it, since the problems are at Stanford.

ok. i still cant send that to the collection server. i uninstalled the program reinstalled and tried again. as for more of teh log i dont know how much you need. here is more of the new unable to send.

Reinstalling rarely helps. The Collection Server at 171.67.108.25 is perpetually overloaded, though it does process a limited number of uploads so that's not worth discussing. The real question is what about the primary Work Server which is on 171.64.65.56. It's pretty busy right now with a NetLoad of 105 but the client will probably upload to it soon.

It looks like FAH has been able to connect to that server so it's probably not a firewall problem, but it never hurts to turn your security software off temporarily to see. Also, you should confirm that you can connect to http://171.64.65.56:8080/ with your browser.

Looks like there may be another issue with these servers. The following is from one of my 2 systems that can not upload their WU's or get new ones. When going to thru my web browser I do not get connected to the servers, so I do not get the OK on the page.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend.

I believe this has been fixed. I can connect to it.
