I'm able to download and process a work unit, but I can't upload the results to the server. A sampling of the messages I'm getting: Started upload of 17ja99ab.1966.23681.1003390.1.17_0_0 Couldn't resolve hostname [setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu] Temporarily failed upload of 17ja99ab.1966.23681.1003390.1.17_0_0: can't resolve hostname Backing off 2 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds on upload of file 17ja99ab.1966.23681.1003390.1.17_0_0 Started upload of 17ja99ab.1966.23681.1003390.1.17_0_0 Couldn't resolve hostname [setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu] Temporarily failed upload of 17ja99ab.1966.23681.1003390.1.17_0_0: can't resolve hostname Backing off 1 hours, 17 minutes, and 48 seconds on upload of file 17ja99ab.1966.23681.1003390.1.17_0_0 (This goes on all day!) Okay, resolution of the server name [setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu] failed. Let me try to ping the server: $ ping setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu PING setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu (66.28.250.125) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 66.28.250.125: icmp_seq=1 ttl=245 time=246 ms --- setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu ping statistics --- 1 packet transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 246.918/246.918/246.918/0.000 ms What's going on? DNS definitely can resolved the name; does the seti client need to be tweeked? Thanks, John |

Strange. Never seen before... Did a nslookup setiathome.berkeley.eud and a reverse lookup work. Are your nsswitch.conf and resolv.conf work ? |

Having done and touched absolutely nothing, I tried running the manager again this morning. Take a look at the messages: Started upload of 17ja99ab.1966.23681.1003390.1.17_0_0 Fetching master file Master file downloaded succeeded Finished upload of 17ja99ab.1966.23681.1003390.1.17_0_0 Throughput 3824 bytes/sec Sending scheduler request to http://seiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi Reason: To fetch work Reequesting 8640 seconds of new work, and reporting 1 results Scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi succeeded Started download of 16au99ab.19802.12546.354830.1.52 Finished download of 16au99ab.19802.12546.354830.1.52 Throughput 2901 bytes/sec request_reschedule_cpus: files downloaded Starting result 16au99ab.19802.12546.354830.1.52_2 using setiathome version 402 I have no idea what happened, but everything is working as it's supposed to. Thanks for the suggestion! John |
