Glad to hear you are ok - take it slow, that's a pretty heavy physical thing to go though!

Our server automatically redirect all connections to https and it should be not a problem if you use http instead of https, but... As we can see it looks like the difference is still important...


That's the the only thing I can think it could be. It was definately contacting the server via HTTP and redirecting the the HTTPS version but it seems that checkpoints seem to fail and reset to the WU to zero or simply stop it progressing.

Important thing is that it's all up and running and I can get back to it!

So I think I found the cause.

When setting them up I think I used the non-secure protocol for the project_attach (http:// instea of https://)

This resulted in communication issues with the server and likely the cause of the server comminication issues - so the server likely didnt go down but instead comms was the issue.

Having got two Pi's up and running today I can see that they are now processing correctly with teh project and crunching away.

"Abandoned" means the server thinks the device detached from the project. I've seen it on this project whenever one of my Pies trashes its SD card and needs to be rebuilt. All the WUs that were running get marked as "Abandoned" when I re-attach the rebuilt Pi. Does that give you any clues to work on?

The Universe@Home server was briefly uncontactable yesterday; I had a few uploads stall, though no serious problems.



That is useful to a point, I'm wondering if it because it thinks "raspberry pi", which i the name for all four RPI3's, caused this issue. I'll try and update hostname prior.

In addition, these were new installs - I'll let run and complete a full WU before setting up for BoincTasks to ensure that it's not BT that is freaking it out.

(I broke a cable in the rack so won't be back up for a day or so (oops)).

It's effecting four devices (three added today) but will give that a go once the WCG tasks I switched to in lue of U@H finish.

Thanks


Boinctasks is showing that the server is down quite a lot wondering if that is causing it?

No particular STR Output either so can't figure this one out.

It's happening on a device which until today had been crunching away wonderfully too:

https://universeathome.pl/universe/result.php?resultid=119155301
https://universeathome.pl/universe/result.php?resultid=119154719
https://universeathome.pl/universe/result.php?resultid=119153859

and the full list: https://universeathome.pl/universe/results.php?userid=219532&offset=0&show_names=0&state=6&appid=

Any thoughts / ideas? I'm at a loss.

RPI 4 continues to crunch away happily...
