That's a lot of...ummm...coffee!

I wouldn't be so hard on them. It's only two poeple trying to keep everything running, and from what I gather, only Howard is doing all the programming and SAing and DBAing.

He even honestly admits that DBA isn't his forte.

They badly need help on this, at least with the server, so that they can better concentrate on the science.

Actually Elena does everything (so you can blame her whenever something breaks). I just do the 'supervising'

[Xelas]

Right - so you wimp out and leaving everything in the hands of a lady?


And you call yourself a gent?

Bah . . .

[Helix_Von_Smelix]

works for me!!

[iggy]

Anyone managed to get updates via Daemon?

Mine is saying that the server is down, and filelength.txt doesn't show anything new.

Is current Daemon still valid, and will it get the updates in due course?

[pfb]

Haven't got anything either - but I assume that's due to the recent problems they've been experiencing....hopefully is released early on in their day to allow all the auto-update daemons to get the files before the changeover occurs...

[Stardragon]

Some setbacks on our side are causing a slight delay, but the update should be out shortly.

Hasn't happened yet.

[pfb]

true - and the server is now down...

hope it's not like the last 'problem' with the daemon....

[Paratima]

Heh! We need a smiley for crossed fingers.

[iggy]

:sleepy:

I'm closely monitoring Paratima's mirror, so all that is left is Hope'n'Pray...

[Paratima]

When you look in my mirror, what do you see?

[iggy]

Nothing new!

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Howard, you call yourself a gentlemen, honest Elena dear how do you put up with him...
I would offer to help if I could, but 1) I know diddly squat about databases but Im learning how to with Access :P ( i know it's not a real database but its a start)
2) I can do some stuff like web page, javascript , some php
3) I'm sure other people have the skills required so your not doing all the work...
<HINT: Howard go learn this so poor Elena don't take all the blame>

Blames Howard for the latest problems
oh and Elena - Gives ya a gentle bear hug the kind that warms from the inside

PS Im a Certified Mad Hugging Fool.....

[Xelas]

Seriously (before Howards gets himself an inferiority complex):

Is the update being officially rescheduled? It's pretty much rescheduled unofficially, AFA I can see.

Will the grace period be extended?

Is there anybody . . . out there?

Wrong project - you want to try Berkeley for that.

I don't know... It seems like we are getting the same answer as the Berkley users...
silence

[Stardragon]

With all the data you busy bees have generated, it is taking quite some time to export it from the database. Compounded with the earlier delay we had this morning, the update is late (as you can obviously tell). However, patches should now be available to daemons, and the complete update will appear within the hour.

[Meadmaker]

Great news - thanks for posting. I'll pass it on to our Team.

[Meadmaker]

My clients have switched to the new protein flawlessly.

Well worth the wait, considering how smooth the changeover has been.

[pfb]

Client's have update but getting the following error message in the logs:

on others - thought the 910 was supposed to be fixed?



not too happy as only 2 of my clients are uploading and both report the 910 error

/edit - it seems the 910 error clients won't update either from the local daemon update area....

/edit 2 - full error message:

[willy1]

I think all my W2K boxes are showing the same server error on upload.

Not a good thing.

[pfb]

not going to be happy of the ~1000 gens of Protein 58 have to be wiped out...

[Rbreb13]

Same error here!

[pfb]

it seems if there are any 58 protein results left once it updates it won't upload at all

[Anteraan]

Oh, that's not good. I've had to be away from home since Tuesday night (go figure, it had to be Tuesday, and the update had to be delayed), so I hope this gets straightened out soon.

[guru]

Grr I've got about 10,000 results to turn in. And that's just from yesterday.

guru

[Grumpy]

Please tell us our work wont be lost..people trying to Upload 58 work are getting 910 errors. If this was going to happen we should have been told so we could have stopped close to changeover and wait rather than wasting electricity and time :bs: I knew it was going too smoothly

[pfb]

It is odd as some results are getting through - despite errors coming up my best RMS for this new protein is (allegedly) 10.32, yet none of my clients have reported a succesful upload...

and the top 10 is alread populated so others must be getting through...

[Basman]

Stil got some protein size 58 millions ready for upload I allready had a feeling that things wouldnt go smoothly and here we are Got better things todo than babysiting this crappy client all the time

[Meadmaker]

I've got exactly the same error on my boxen - all Win2k.

I've simply installed another copy, and started that - I will save the "old" ones in case a fix is forthcoming. Hopefully this problem can be resolved.

[N.V.M.]

another black eye for DF

hey there Mead

[moz_42]

You can get round this folks.

I only had one machine set to auto-update/fold online ( thank god ) and got the same error as pfb.

What you need to do is get a copy of the old client ( i.e. protein 58 ) and copy it back over the failing dir - i.e. over writing the upgrade client ( do it on a copy or save it 1st ), make sure auto_update is deleted and run foldit.bat - when prompted select 'n' to not upgrade the client and allow to upload. Then once uploaded purge the uploaded gens from the original dir and all is fine & dandy - or its was 4 me anyway.

N.B. Do this on a copy of the dir , ensure you only copy the correct client files over & do NOT overwrite filelist.txt

moz

[Meadmaker]

Thanks for that Moz - it worked.

Uploading now.

[happyboy99]

I had machine that didn't auto-update and do uploading, BUT, please check the error.log file, full of STATUS 910 MISSING PREVIOUS OR ILLEGAL GENERATION error. guess all the uploaded gen go down the drain.
