I was running 2 simulations when I had a power outage. Now only one is running and the second does not appear in the manager. All files are still present for the simulation and there are no error messages. How do I get it to re-appear in the manager so that I can get it stareted again? |

The power cut probably killed the second model, you\'ll need to download a replacement once the servers have been given new models (tuesday). I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ |

Having a lot of files still present is no indication that the model hasn\'t crashed. The data in client_state.xml is what BOINC uses to tell what it\'s doing and up to. If this, or some other files, has/have become corrupted, it can\'t restart the model. After a reboot, the Messages tab is cleared. You need to look in stderrdae.txt in the BOINC folder to find error messages, which are a bit cryptic. Try a menu/Suspend, wait until it does suspend, (in Status column), then do a menu/Exit, to shut down the program. Then reboot. This MAY get it started if it\'s at all possible. This should also cause it to contact the server, to let it know that it\'s running again, at which point, if the model crashed, BOINC will tell the server. And make regular backups. They are the only way to recover a crashed model. |
