Server is Down

**Aus_Karlos** · 09-22-2008, 06:36 AM

Is the main work server down or something. Ive just noticed that ive completed 3 WU's last week and not one has been sent my queue is getting full.
(It was sending the week before.)
This is my Log.

Code:

[12:30:16] + Attempting to send results [September 22 12:30:16 UTC]
[12:30:17] - Couldn't send HTTP request to server
[12:30:17]   (Got status 503)

It looks to be OK now.

**grumpygit** · 09-22-2008, 02:35 PM

That server seems a bit temperamental at the moment.
My last 2 WUs have taken several attempts before the results have been sent.(same server)

**Aus_Karlos** · 09-24-2008, 07:59 AM

Nothing is sending?
Its trying to send 2 completed WUs to server

171.64.122.76: 9 failed attempts
171.64.122.86: 3 failed attempts

However i have successfully sent work to

130.49.240.77: 0 failed attempts

Whats the link to check server status

Edit found the link both servers are accepting

I completed my last WU 20 minutes ago. This one and the previous 3 were successfully sent to 171.64.65.20, so no problems for the last 6-8 hours.

If you're receiving new WUs but unable to send the results, the data is stored on your computer and will be sent when the server is running properly again. I've had a few 'status 503' errors, lasting between a few hours and a few days. You won't lose any data or points.

Im starting to suspect my Router. I have another PC thats folding and its having trouble sending data to server 171.64.122.76 (Current Status "Down") but its been trying to send all week..
Ive also updated my F@H client from 5.04 to 6.20. What new connection settings does 6.20 use is "Use IE setting" checked by Default (Cannot see it in the config page).

**grumpygit** · 09-26-2008, 10:43 AM

My last WU was to 171.64.122.76 and it took two days to send. Eventually i quit and restarted F@H and it sent it as soon as it restarted.

**Aus_Karlos** · 09-26-2008, 11:14 AM

Ok, well as long as i dont loose points for the time its taken some of these WU's to complete. Is there a setting to increase the number of retrys and the delay (in seconds) for when it trys again. It seems to re-try 3 times and then stops for the rest of the night until i restart F@H

**koala** · 09-26-2008, 11:26 AM

It took me 8 retries last night (with a 2 minute delay between each one) before it finally went through, so I don't think 3 retries is the default for the F@H software. It must be a setting at their end, or maybe it's different for each server depending on the load at that particular time.

**Aus_Karlos** · 09-28-2008, 04:35 AM

Ah finally all 3 WUs have been sent.. One of them sent after 38 failed attempts. lol
