Problem with autoupdate on Dual CPU systems ?

[Terminator]

Anyone having problems with the autoupdate of the 2nd CPU directory, I'm finding that it's downloading and installing the update OK but it doesn't restart the service automatically and I have to restart it manually :confused: this has happened on both dual CPU servers I'm using.

The service was installed using the foldtrajlite /install2 command, and I've had this confirmed by someone else who has exactly the same problem.

Same problem here. It may just be due to some internal flags in the program that don't reset properly after the first updates itself; it's easy to speculate, hard to say for certain without looking at the source. :)

I don't mind manually restarting now, but having the app handle it on its own would help.

You're right - just checked my own dual machine. Sounds like a bug - I'll follow up once I investigate.

[Brian the Fist]

Well that was easy. They're both trying to restart the first service ;)
It is fixed and will be available in the next release. Thanks for finding all these weird bugs!

[Terminator]

Thanks for the quick response Howard - that's what make's this the best DC project around :thumbs:

Thanks for fixing it Howard! :D

The problem still exists on NT4.0 and Win2k as of today.

This is still happening, had to restart all 2nd CPU instances again this week.

Instead of restarting the service, do a foldtrajlite.exe /install2 again. This time it will create a service.cfg file in that directory. Edit the file to make sure that the first line has the number 2 in it. From now on it should just work.

Ni, NI and Ni! :)

Thanks - I'll give that a try :)

Didn't work - still had to restart cpu2 manually :(

It seems to work fine for me. I have the two copies installed in separate directories though.

I had a similar problem too. Though I wasn't running them as a service (or two services). I was running them through two consoles.

The problem was when they would both try to auto-update at the same time. One of them would succeed and the other would fail. If I closed down the one that failed and reopened it, the auto-update would then work for it.

This is on a dual PIII 733 running windows 2k.

Problem still exists with latest protein update. I had to manually start the second instance on both of my dual processor machines (NT 4.0 and W2K)

[Brian the Fist]

try removing and reinstalling both services (with /remove and /install), this might be why it seems to not be fixed for you.

[Terminator]

I downloaded the .zip last Tuesday and removed the services with /remove and /remove2, these are installed in 2 directories (c:\df\cpu1 and c:\df\cpu2), deleted all files, unzipped the latest version into the directories and reinstalled with /install and /install2. After last nights update both had downloaded OK but again CPU2 needed a manual restart :(

[Brian the Fist]

I'll keep a close eye on my machine next update but I am certain I fixed this way back already.

[Brian the Fist]

For those who say that the 2nd service does not restart after an update, can I see the contents of your service.cfg file for the corresponding directory of the 2nd service? I double checked the source and the only reason it shouldnt work is if your service.cfg is wrong. Just paste the contents in a reply for me to look at or something. Thanks.

[Terminator]

I've just got in from work and the dual's are at work work but I'm sure the service.cfg in the 2nd directory is :-

service=2
useram=1

[tquade]

W2K machine:

service=2
useram=1


NT 4.0 machine

2
useram=1
uploadfreq=1000
