1) Message boards : Number crunching : Account manager error: file not found (Message 726249)

Post:
I noticed that SETI@home stopped working, so I looked at the tasks. I had two task completed, but had computer error listed.

Messages said something like "invalid key, please contact site, there was also a note that said, if convenient reset project.

I first tried to connect to the account manager at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ and it connected and asked for me email and password. BOINC returned an error and said "check messages" which basically said, file not found.

At this point I felt the two units completed have probably already been lost anyhow do to some form of error so, I detached and tried to re attach to SETI@home; same error was returned.

I then checked server status, and there seems to be no problems with any of the servers and all were working normally. So, I decided to re install BOINC thinking somehow it could have been a file that somehow got deleted. After re installing, I started the software. Messages indicated it connected to another project that was still attached in the previous installation (but, currently I'm not taking any work units for it.) I tried again to attach to SETI@home and got the same error messages. Here are all the messages from the time I started BOINC after I reinstalled it:

=====

I would appreciate any help in solving this issue, I have never ran a crossed this error before and like I said, I did reinstall BOINC which is often the best thing to do if "files" are missing.

I can logged manually into the seti@home site, (doubt if I could post here if I couldn't <grin>) but, it seems BOINC can't for some reason. Oh yes, I even reseted my password too at the site to see if it got corrupted on the server.

(SIGH)...At least I know NOW I didn't do something wrong... LOL

Thank goodness it's not just me! The whole site seemed to be down for the best part of half an hour just now so I suspect the problems are in California.

I have similar messages on all my machines this morning, so it looks like either a server or connectivity issue somewhere.



Anyone who has upload problems, processing problems, etc. would be better served by reading the Number Crunching forum. Typically, widespread problems will get noticed very quickly by the inhabitants of that forum. They will also be able to quickly diagnose local problems that may only affect your rig/farm/set-up. For instance, there's an Upload problems?? thread that was updated about 2 hours ago (from this posting).

The threads in this forum are for the project managers to inform users of techinical issues related to project administration. Issues related to uploads, downloads, and processing are best discussed and resolved in Number Crunching.

Just my $1/50.
