According to the server stats page, 155.247.166.219, vav3.ocis.temple.edu, has been down since December 1st.

Can't reach it via the browser nor ping from several networks. Client gets the errors below:
01:40:46:WARNING:WU00:FS00:Exception: Failed to send results to work server: Transfer failed
01:41:07:WARNING:WU00:FS00:WorkServer connection failed on port 8080 trying 80
01:41:28:ERROR:WU00:FS00:Exception: Failed to connect to 155.247.166.219:80: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.


I looked at the troubleshooting page, but I didn't see a way to force my client to upload to a different server. Am I missing something?

Thank you for your report.
When a WS is down and cannot accept returns the system should switch to it's CS which in this case is 155.247.166.220. Did the WU not return to that server or is it still attempting to return the WU to the WS (.219)? If it did send it to the CS, the system is working as it should.
I have reported the outage but one of the people @ Temple had already let some of us know that the server was Down a few days ago so perhaps, because of your report, we'll get an update.

I turned up my log verbosity and let the system run again overnight. It looks like it is attempting to connect to the collection server at 155.247.166.220, but is failing there as well.

Okay, the problem is that you were unable to return your results to .220 which in your case is the WS. That WS uses .219 as a CS. The real question is "Why can't your WU be returned to .220?" I can open 155.247.166.220 in my browser and it does display the correct info for that server ... could you try to connect via your browser to see if you get the logo page?

I am also able to get to the .220 address via the browser. I ran a packet capture and I am getting a 400 bad request response from the .220 server. Prior to that, the capture looks normal.

1215 32.602211 155.247.166.220 192.168.1.201 HTTP 258 HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request (text/html)

Here's an update: Our FAH work server (vav3, 155.247.166.219) is down with a bad RAID controller, and likely so for the next few weeks while we order a new one and replace it. A noted by others, this server acted as a collection server for our other server (vav4, 155.247.166.220). We will get another server to collect for vav4, so this error can be avoided in the future!

Thank you for the update. I will check back in a few weeks if I'm still unable to upload the WU.
