I hope you have sent him a PM if his wus are erroring out with lack of disk space, kinda odd with SRBase ? (If I understood you right ?)
He should actually be in here, taking part of this discussion !

Nearly 600 new hosts now. The user is unbelievable. I hope I can add more work soon until the server is faster or we run dry.
You actually answered my next question, as I know you have to do it "manually" and when you upload big amounts of new tasks, the connection is also very stressed..
But I think it's a happy problem for the project and if you need some new stuff, don't forget to add them to the ongoing BU campaign ;)
The main problem is that most of the hosts are erroring out with disk_limit_exceeded and stress the network connection which is causing to crash and I cannot get it alive after a restart of the VM only. I must increase the max_connections and user_connections now in the webserver config due some mysql errors.
...ok ? but as I told you earlier, make 'em 10 times the needed ones, as the MySQL seems to sit on "old" connections forever before dropping them, and I haven't figured out how to get around it (kill them fast) :(

No worries Reb =)
That increase is huge if it happens in a short amount of time and as you are also running those very short ones, the traffic must be massive !
But the most important thing is that you react very fast everytime and always give us an explenation what happened and sometimes we are also able to try to help you out.
THAT'S WHY it's a pleasure to crunch your project (ok, also the primes :)) as it's so well managed !

...guess I should do my homework better next time, I've just checked the progress and not the stderr.txt file :( (Just blew the fuses of my livingroom 2 times during last night and got a bit frustrated as I'm running the long ones atm, sry)

Reb, would it be possible to add the checkpoint feature to the longer tasks, as it's not soo nice to start all over again when a GPU task (from other projects) messes the boxes up or after power outage ?

Mankka*: I have restarted Apache but the work generation script is not running anymore. I hope the error is gone now.
Thanks Reb !
Everything works like a charm now =)

Just FYI Reb.
I get this when I try to look at my valid tasks:
"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 64 bytes) in /home/boincadm/projects/sr5/html/inc/db_conn.inc on line 119"

Its working for me but the current work creation with 1M WUs could make some issues with the php RAM reserveration.
Update:
I have changed the memory limit in php.ini to 1GB. Can you check if the error is still present?
I still get the same, but it looks like the change didn't update (reboot needed ?), as I get 536870912 bytes (512 MB & not 1 GB) in the error...

Just wanted to thank you for keeping us updated =)
I wish I had a solution, but VMs can be very tricky sometimes and it's a nightmare to find out what went wrong :(

Hi Reb !
My experience of MySql tell's me that 400 is way too low as they tend to hang there for a while even if the connection has expired, I would go for 1000 right away ;)

:( I hope you will be able to keep it running, but pls let us know if you need to reinstall ;)

Didn't know that one Reb :)
From what version of Boinc does it work, running an older 7.2.42 over here and got no errors with it, but it doesn't work:
<app_config>
<project_max_concurrent>7</project_max_concurrent>
</app_config>
(also tried to put it between the <app> </app> lines)
7.4.9+
Ok, so I guess I have some major updating to do tomorrorw, but now off to a nice gig to enjoy good music & friends, so a perfect thing to do on a hangover sunday...
Thanx mate =)

Ha ha, sh*t, you were right Reb, just pasted and copied the same lines I posted in the forum, and voila :) (I just love Microsoft soooo much) :P

With that config file, you are allowing each of the srbase tasks to run 7 tasks concurrently. This does not restrict srbase to only 7 processors in total. For instance, Riesel Base and Sierpinski Base could each run 7 tasks.
Yes I know Lemon, but I'm using the preferences to choose which tasks to run on what box, depending on the performance, so I don't run multiple apps at the same time, but if I did, you are totally right, it would start 7 ones of each ;)

Sorry Reb, it was my bad typing in here, it's not missing in the real app_config file:
<app_config>
<app>
<name>srbase</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>srbase1</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>srbase2</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>srbase3</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>srbase4</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>
<name>srbase5</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>srbase6</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>srbase7</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>srbase8</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>srbase9</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>srbase10</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>
</app_config>
SRBase takes 8 cores on this one, even if I tell it to take 7, works fine with other projects, but it looks like I have the app names right, so it's a Boinc issue I guess...again... Sorry for bothering you ;)
EDIT: The Boinc client finds it, but applications 9,10 are unknown of course...
But somesimes I have had some issues with the country code (living in Finland), even if I run all my boxes with a US version of Windows7 (I use notepad to edit these files (ok, sometimes pspad (great editor)), so banging my head in the wall over here...

Hi guys !
I'm having problems with the app_config.xml file with SRBase.
I use a config file for all projects to control how many cores they can take as I have to keep free ones for the ASICs & GPUs.
It works fine with all other projects,but not with this one, SRBase grabs all cores available as it has short deadlines.
Using the <name>
<app>
<name>srbase2</name>
<max_concurrent>7</max_concurrent>
</app>
(just an example, using srbase, srbase1...srbase9) in the file as it shows in the client_state file, but it doesn't work... any ideas ?
Am I using the wrong app name... ? ...starting to grow some grey hairs over here, so any help would be appreciated ;)
