Fah stopped on core download (2)

[RAF_Moz_work]

Hi,

There is a locked thread about this already, which, in the last post, links to another thread that doesn't exist. Hence this new topic.

Code: Select all

16:15:00:WU00:FS00:0xa7:Folding@home Core Shutdown: CORE_OUTDATED
16:15:01:WARNING:WU00:FS00:FahCore returned: CORE_OUTDATED (110 = 0x6e)
16:15:01:WU00:FS00:Downloading core from http://cores.foldingathome.org/Win32/AMD64/AVX/Core_a7.fah
16:15:01:WU00:FS00:Connecting to cores.foldingathome.org:80
16:15:01:ERROR:WU00:FS00:Exception: Failed reading core package header.

According to the guy who maintains our network this error resides on the Stanford side of things, because, he says, the url above resolves to this:

https://65.254.110.241/Win32/AMD64/AVX/Core_a7.fah

which gives a 502 Bad Gateway in Firefox or any other browser.

So none of my 29 clients can download a a7 or a4 core. I assume there are multiple versions of these cores used, since all clients do have the new directory structure on the machine, along with a version of both cores. Swapping the cores between them sometimes helps, but monitoring that, remotely stopping services, deleting work directories, starting services and hoping it will fold a unit is completely undoable for me in term of time.

Anybody any insights?

Rob, take a look at this post and the subsequent ones to see if anything helps, especially the part about flushing your DNS cache.

Another possibility may be security software ... i.e. your security software may have been 'conditioned' to allow downloads from fah-web... but now that has changed to cores.foldingathome.org the security rules may need updating.

I did try the resolved location and I too got the 502 error message but when I used the http... location in your log I did download a valid core. Unfortunately that needs to happen within FAHClient so that it can extract the core's executable and place it where it belongs.

Also, the latest thread for core download problems starts at viewtopic.php?f=106&t=30846 but you've already posted there so you probably already know that.
