Scheduler request failed: HTTP internal server error [Resolved]

Strange error on one UBUNTU machine

Sat 23 Nov 2013 09:38:18 GMT | World Community Grid | Reporting 547 completed task
Sat 23 Nov 2013 09:30:08 GMT | World Community Grid | Scheduler request failed: HTTP internal server error

It's attempting to report 547 tasks, so it's had this problem for a few days...

Any ideas?

It's only on this machine.

Re: Scheduler request failed: HTTP internal server error

Not certain this is your problem, but atleast on other BOINC-projects if the sched_request-file gets too large the server can't handle it since this will use more memory or something than a single scheduling-thread is allowed to use. While this normally have happened with users trying to report thousands of results at once, it is possible your WCG-results has maxed-out the logfile and/or the WCG-server is allowed to use less memory.

If this is your problem, you can try reporting fewer results in a single request. For this to work, you'll need to run BOINC v6.12.xx or later. In your BOINC data-directory, edit a file (or make the file if not present) called cc_config.xml

This file should minimum include:

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
</log_flags>
<options>
<max_tasks_reported>50</max_tasks_reported>
</options>
</cc_config>

If you've already got a cc_config.xml, it's possible you've already got the <max_tasks_reported> in it, if so just edit this line to a fairly low limit. I've used 50 in my example.

After saving the file, in BOINC Manager's Advanced view, choose the menu-option "Advanced" - "Read config files".

Afterwards, try to report your results. If this now works, you can try increasing #tasks reported at once. If it doesn't work, try with a very low setting of 5 or something.

If this doesn't work, someone more familiar with Linux would need to help you...
