FreeHAL problem

[NeoGen]

Seems that they have a new server running now. But freehal stopped working for me.
Anybody else getting this message lately?

06/07/2009 12:48:05 FreeHAL@home Sending scheduler request: To report completed tasks.
06/07/2009 12:48:05 FreeHAL@home Reporting 1 completed tasks, requesting new tasks

will have to re-attach and let you know.

[liuqyn]

would seem you need to detach and reattach to connect properly to the new server.

although I was only getting one at a time and this error

7/6/2009 8:27:59 AM FreeHAL@home Started upload of data.pro
7/6/2009 8:28:01 AM FreeHAL@home [error] Error reported by file upload server: can't open log file '../log_web1/file_upload_handler.log' (errno: 9)
7/6/2009 8:28:01 AM FreeHAL@home Temporarily failed upload of data.pro: transient upload error
7/6/2009 8:28:01 AM FreeHAL@home Backing off 2 hr 3 min 13 sec on upload of data.pro

after I cancelled that transfer, it then let me report completed tasks and downloaded 10 new ones(my setting in preferences).
still waiting to see if I get credit for the first few. (seems the validator isn't running)

[liuqyn]

changed preferences and downloaded and crunching full 25 tasks. hope that lasts.

me too after I aborted the data.pro file I have been whistling Dixie with the new set of 25 Work Units per boxen. Woo Hoo

[NeoGen]

I detached and reattached and am getting a new error now.

06/07/2009 23:09:06 FreeHAL@home Scheduler request failed: Error 403

I believe this may be a server problem now... or is anyone able to get WU's?

[liuqyn]

yup, it's new. no response yet from admin.

[AMDave]

ouch

I ran into hard-disk hell with some of these wus (only 5 at a time) on 2 machines this afternoon.

The IO-Wait suddenly went right through the roof while the HDDs were going bonkers and that locked up the desktops in both Win & Lin.

Sadly, detaching the project was the only thing that would fix it.

[NeoGen]

Ouch indeed...
How many WUs were you running in parallel? I've tried running only 5 at a time for now to see how it goes, and haven't had problems.
