When seti came back up today I had all kinds of problems. One of witch was I was told to detach and reattach to seti. So i did and now when I try to attach to seti beta it gives me the attached message. Then the two projects stop working right. wont get new work and both projects say the same name now. seti beta just says seti@home.

Are you using an account manager? I use BAM and had a problem earlier this evening with a machine that only is attached to S@H. Everything suddenly changed to saying S@H beta. It couldnt connect because it wasnt registered but unfortuately managed to upload a few tasks which are now lost to main. Resynchronizing with BAM flipped everything back to normal.

No I don't use an account manager. This is just weird!!!!

No I don't use an account manager. This is just weird!!!!

BAM may have been a red herring. I had also had various ADSL problems and DNS issues (but assumed they were just local problems) - I wonder if something screwy happened and the wrong IPs were somehow resolved.

As you say weird.

This was my screen at the time. From 22:37 until I resynced at 23:00 it was connected to Beta.

Yep, same here. After a couple of manual update requests, S@H fixed itself.

Suggestion for Volunteer Testers receiving the "You seem to be attached to this project twice" error message - in other words, computers genuinely attached to both the main project and the Beta project.

Perform the following steps, in order:

• Suspend networking activity
  
• Shut down BOINC completely
  
• Edit client_state.xml (yadda yadda, you're testers, you should know the drill by now)
  
• Find the second SETI@home project section (the one with <master_url> http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/)
  
• Change the <project_name> to "SETI@home Beta Test"
  
• Save changes and close
  
• Restart BOINC
  
• On the Projects tab, select the project you can now identify as SETI@home Beta Test, and suspend it.
  
• Re-enable networking
  

Then wait until the project staff arrive in (their) morning. I've sent some diagnostic emails.

Already done. :) Thanks though. :P

I received the error on 2 machines that have never been connected to Beta. I was tipped off to the cause of the problem when Reschedule gave the following error

cannot find seti@home in the client_state.xml file

I checked the client state file and found this

<project>
<master_url>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/</master_url>
<project_name>SETI@home Beta Test</project_name>
<symstore></symstore>
<user_name>Brodo</user_name>

Since I put it right I still get the "Your app_info.xml file doesn't have a usable version of SETI@home Enhanced." error and the "reached daily quota" error but there's one less line of red to deal with :-)

Can someone please explain how the error was created ?

Brodo

Then wait until the project staff arrive in (their) morning. I've sent some diagnostic emails.

The Beta server appears to be functional again (no announcement, even privately - that would be too much to hope).

There are even signs of a validator running, for the first time in 10 days.
