Cannot transmit to 171.64.65.111

[VijayPande]

This one has been very troublesome. We will likely have to do something major to overhaul it. For now, it's up again, but I am expecting it will go down in a day or two and we will have to get it back up then.

This is a known issue and we're working on it. As I mentioned in a previous thread, this one is more tricky.

[HKMk23]

I note this topic is a couple of weeks old, but I've been encountering the same issue. Today I removed the 5.04 Console exe and set up the 6.23 Console version, which immediately found new work and is happily working away. Still, even with the automatic switch to attempt sending to the alternative port, I get no play on 171.64.65.111 or 171.65.108.17.

Here's the relevant snip from my FAHlog:

I'm in a corporate environement, but had no firewall issues in the past; this is all a recent development.

IF the issue is at my end, is there a past topic addressing how to transfer completed results from my work folder, to the work folder on another machine for successful upload??

[HKMk23]

ADDENDUM:
Addressing 171.67.108.17 from my browser returns "Cannot find server or DNS error" on ports 80 and 8080.
Addressing 171.64.65.111 from my browser returns "OK" on port 80, but "Cannot find server or DNS error" on port 8080.

tracert data shows a timeout to both servers that may be a contributing factor to these connection failures:

I'm getting a backlog of WU's for this server once again. 02/01, 02/03, 02/06, 02/07. All of which fail to upload with the same messages as before when I started this thread. "Couldn't send HTTP request to server"

I've tried all the tricks once again, even tried to get those machines to send over a different internet connection than their dedicated line, but no luck. Tracert always get the same result at step 10, that being "10 * * * Request timed out." It's getting close to two weeks on these Wu's inability to go home. Can someone feed the mice on the wheel in that machine again?

[step2000]

Same here several WU waiting for days. They should monitor it more closely since we are doing the research for free! I mean why send it out if it can't come back seems stupid from a research point of view! Get with the program please----would you like the farms of system crunching for little green men instead!

[7im]

I am sure they understand your concern. And I am sure they are aware of the situation and doing everything they can to fix the problem even if they don't post as such. For us, it might seem like a few wasted CPU cycles, but they are NOT wasted if the work units are uploaded after the server is fixed. No points or science is lost until those work units expire, and the server should be fixed long before then.

And if a few work units do eventually expire, it's more than just a few wasted CPU cycles to Stanford. Those researchers can't finish their degree programs and graduate if they don't finish the science they sent out. So for them, the stakes are much higher to get the servers working as best they can.

P.S. Welcome to the forum, step2000.

[bruce]

Error 503 is not something that you can fix. It means a server is too busy to handle your request. That might be the server at hop 17, but it's not uncommon for the problem to be the actual work server, itself, at hop 18. Dr. Pande has mentioned the newly rewritten server code that's being tested in his news blog. When it's ready to be used, that will alleviate much of the server congestion that's producing most of the 503 errors.

Microsoft's "Cannot find server or DNS error" isn't a particularly helpful message. It's better to check http://fah-web.stanford.edu/serverstat.html

Both http://171.64.65.111 and http://171.64.65.111:8080 both give me "OK" right now in spite of a CPU LOAD of 2.41 and a NET LOAD of 71. At this moment, it should be able to handle your request without difficulty.

Both http://171.67.108.17 and http://171.67.108.17:8080 return nothing and it has a CPU LOAD of 3.16 and a NET LOAD of 249. This collection server seems to keep it's NETLOAD between 248 and 253 so it's constantly doing everything it can -- with somebody establishing a new connection within seconds of when somebody releases one. WE DO NEED THAT NEW SERVER CODE.

[Leoslocks]

171.64.65.111 in Reject

Down about 4 hours before restarting the client got new work.

[bruce]

I already have reported it. Port 80 is disabled, too.

My guess is that it will reset itself in about 4.5 hrs whether or not anybody responds promptly.

[dsmguy]

Edit my Mod: This post was previously part of a discussion on the subject: Re: 130.49.240.81 and 130.49.240.77 and it has been split into a separate topic.

So this problem has been going on for months. I do occasionally get some work returned but I loose more than I return. I reinstalled and have processed four more units. None of which will upload.

So this problem has been going on for months. I do occasionally get some work returned but I loose more than I return. I reinstalled and have processed four more units. None of which will upload.

I really do not understand why people waste their time uninstalling/reinstalling the FAH software when they're having a problem with a specific server. Have you read Do this first which is locked at the top of this forum?

I suppose that you realize that the log that you've posted won't get any serious attention when you post it here. This is a discussion of problems with servers 130.49.240.81 and 130.49.240.77 and neither of those servers have anything to do with the information in your log so you really can't say the problem has been going on for "months".


You're having troubles with four different servers and they're discussed elsewhere:
WU 01
http://171.67.108.12
http://171.67.108.25
Those servers are both accepting uploads at the present time. The Work Server isn't working very hard although the Collection Server is pretty busy. I see no other reports of people having troubles with 171.67.108.12 so there's a good chance the problem is your security software.

WUs 02, 03, 04
http://171.64.65.111
http://171.67.108.17
Both of those servers seem to be under quite a bit of load right now. There was a problem reported with 171.64.65.111 last week, but it has been resolved. See viewtopic.php?t=10769

Have you tried temporarily disabling your security software to confirm it isn't blocking a connection to these servers? Can you open those URLs in your browser? When were those WUs downloaded?


I'm happy to move your post to one of the discussions of those servers -- and to contact the people responsible for them if appropriate, but I'll need to do a little more research first.

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong location. I had started the post under the client. I believe you moved it to the server side.

I have tried sleeping my virus checker and disabling my firewall. No help. I use CA Internet Security Suite. I can see the outbound traffic allowed in the firewall log. I see no blocked traffic.

This morning I'm getting "OK" back from all the servers except http://171.67.108.17 This one just comes back blank. No broken connection or anything.

You asked when the WUs were downloaded. If the dates from the files logfile_0x.txt give that info. Then they are as follows:
01.txt 8/1
02.txt 8/3
03.txt 8/5
04.txt 8/7

Stats are showing that I uploaded 10 completed units. At the time I reinstalled I had 5 units that were waiting to upload. They were getting old enough that I think they were dropping off of the queue. I couldn't see waiting for more wasted work, so I reinstalled hoping for better results.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
