new client.... TONS of errors!

[Insidious]

I realize there is information available which explains these errors are not a problem.... but my error.log file is getting BIG!

!!! Contact between residues ARG and HIS too close !!!

any way for us to disable error logging?

<edit> I just watched it grow by 3K in less than 2 minutes!

132K error.log since starting over with a clean install.

1390k and growing!

1.1MB on the fastest box and growing

in under 12 hours I have 25,300 errors of this kind (1.7MB) - with the old method I was (un)lucky to get ~10 during the whole period...

So, each day it'll grow by ~3.5MB - if this runs for around 5 weeks that'll be a 122MB error log :shocked:

Is there any way to stop this error being reported? Or having the error.log emptied periodically?

For those who haven't seen the posts elsewhere, create a directory called error.log. The program can't write to a directory but this seems to have no ill-effects so far.

i had the error thing happening on one box that auto-downloaded. when i re-did it, it worked fine

It seems to be working here!

Great, but I don't really want to have to do that on 25 PCs, one Wintel server and 11 Sun instances! I did the directory error.log thing and that is working for now.

Could we perhaps be told what of the "old" files is causing the problem and should be replaced?

That's what I did on my main one but it's generating the most errors!

You may have done it before the download was updated.

It got fixed/changed sometime around 7:00 pm
