    was there ever a solution for this problem

    TyOI

    was a solution ever found for this error - have a system with 200+ units that want upload

    system running W2K and has the latest win text client on board

    what happened was it was uploading and for some reason just shut down when i restarted it refused to upload and displayed the message Previous generation missing then went on to crunch


    ERROR: [000.000] {foldtrajlite2.c, line 4411} Cannot find structure from previous generation .\j99wgbbh_0_j99wgbbh_protein_126_0000035_min.val; find it manually or delete filelist.txt to continue
    ERROR: [000.000] {foldtrajlite2.c, line 4587} Error during upload: Previous generation missing

    Look and see if there is a filelist.txt AND filelist.txt.tmp.
    IF so, delete filelist.txt and rename filelist.txt.tmp to filelist.txt
    Then start the client again.

    Have you tried using the "foldtrajlite -purgeuploadlist 1" command?

    One at a time till you get to one it likes...

    I think purge uploadlist deletes files. To be used after transfering files to other media.

    Think?
    The reason I mentioned it, is that it has helped me before in the same situation
    Of course, he can make a copy of the directory before he uses it.
    Eventually it will get down to the good pairs and start uploading

    Ahah! That's different from not knowing what it's for or how to use it...

    That's a bug! And you have just reported it in exactly the correct place.

    Now it's up to Howard and/or Elena.

    I think that it is having the same problem when it tries to fake upload as when it tries to upload for real, so it is not helping.

    thanks for the input folks but i think i will just leave the directory in tact and see if anything gets done before the client change if not will dump it and start afresh again this now makes 800+ units lost to this bug and a lot of cpu days down the drain - not to worry all in a good cause

    We believe we may have fixed this bug, but Im guessing you are not running the 'patched' version we posted and linked to in this forum a week or so ago. (called it a 'test version' or something). Once the error has occurred though, it is likely the data can no longer be used.

    If you have a file named similarly to the one it is saying is missing (within the _min for example) you can rename it and it might be happy but this may not apply to you.

    was running the latest text client from your download site - was running the patched version for a cpl of days them upgraded when i noticed you had a later version assumed this had the patch incorporated

    still cannot get any of the 6 systems to upload the units will dump the files and load the new client when its released later today
