Crunch3r, haven't had to stop using the chicken coop. It's working fine and dandy now. Good news. If you were using the Chicken on PC you actually had the chance to rename the app_info.xml to keep crunching with the optimized app. Unfortunately for those using not supported platforms like me Alpha EV67 on linux , SPARC on Linux, PARISC on hppa etc etc ... you never had the chance to do that trick. However, finally it's working again :D Join BOINC United now! ID: 574582 ·

Also upload attempt is failing constantly with HTTP internal server error as well. IOW, from where I sit, the project is effectively down. ID: 574592 ·

The servers will catch up eventually; something probably just needs a kick in the NFS mount or the like... Regards, Simon. Donate to SETI@Home via PayPal!

I have not gotten a ghost result with a bazillion internal server errors (ok, slightly exaggerated, but you get the point). However, uploads are still very problematic. I had one go through real easily after it failing for hours, then I downloaded a noisy WU and was done with it in short order...and the upload of that new WU is just hanging there. Also, work appears to be in very limited supply. I'm getting trickles here and there. We're probably siphoning everything the splitters can give. Now might be a good time for anyone who hasn't exorcised their ghosts to do so... :-) Final Edit: Oh, for PETE'S SAKE! I'm not going to stay here and post messages about things not working to get them to start working!!! (Translation: The upload of the noisy result...went up just as I was typing how it was just hanging out there...) I'm just going to read my PHP class material and shut up about all this...

I'm running Chicken's 2.2B Application with the full app_info.xml file that was provided with the Application. I've returned 8 Results and have credit for 6 of them already. ID: 574658 ·

Maybe your app_info.xml has a problem because BOINC deleted the science app it points to? May have happened if your cache ran dry while you deleted/renamed it. HTH, Simon.

Then i installed the chicken app 2.2b. From then on yesterday, i wasn't getting any new work because of the chicken app, but i was happy to just crunch the work i had. But this morning, without changing anything, i am getting new work with the app still installed. So it seems to be working properly again as far as i can tell. Chicken of Angnor, Simon, some thank's should also go to you for creating a very simple to use oppimised app that works very very well. Thank you Simon. ID: 574811 ·

After I restarted my computer, my client still uses the optimized app ("KWSN_2.2B_SSE3-P4_Ben-Joe_GFX.exe") although there is no app_info.xml anymore. Fortunately, the optimized app works now, but I'm just wondering how that's possible. ID: 574826 ·
