The files on the server look correct to me.
But the number 6999 is normally the GUIPORT.
Did you edit the config and removed the "GUI" from the key and have now two keys with the name "PORT"?

Server is up and running but it had a restart early this morning.

I just changed the username and double clicked the llrnet.exe file. It produced an icon in systray and then I opened a GUI windows where it said that it was connecting to port 6999 for some time. Then I killed the exe and tried again and got the same thing. what am I doing wrong?

I liked the old llrnet. This one is too complicated for me:)

OK so far nothing wrong happened.
I will try to dewscibe what you can find where in the GUI. Hope i make myself understandable.

The new llrnet is in principle two parts.
First part is the GUI and second part is the real worker.

When you right click on the gui and say "new gui window" a window is opened
it containes a menu and for listboxes.

The topmost box called "clients" shows the status of the different clients you want to supervice from this GUI window. It is possible to watch clients from several different PCs with one GUI or an llrnet client for PSP and for riesel at the same time.

If you have only one client registered you should see one line in that listbox
the columns should read "Local","localhost","6999"," some status inforamtion"
That is the normal behaviour.

To find out what happens at first select your clinet in the "clients listbox".

When the client is not downloading anything you can check what happens in the next listbox.

Above that box there are two tabs.
First is "info" and second is named "console".
Choose the console box.

Here you can see the output as known from the old client.

I have checked the llrnet server and it haws not handed out any workunit to you so far.

Is it possible that your requests are blocked by a personal firewall ?

Hope that helps,

Lars

Ok it works now. Actually I did nothing different, just repeated what I did yesterday. I am not sure why it did not work yesterday. Thanks!

Checked on the server: You have 6 WU reserved.
Maybe the server was down when you mad your first try yesterday.
As i said it was restarted sometime today in the morning the server was restarted but i can not tell when it stopped to work.

Now for something completely different:

Any american football fans around.

Looking green bay - vikings at the moment 20:20 with 8 seconds on the clock.

I am trying to host my own server, I just find footmaster's server a bit unreliable. So I will not be finishing the 6 residues. They can be reassigned as need be. I was just making some tests.

Also I did not know that people in Germany watched football. :unsure:

No problem with the WU they will be reassigned in 7 days.

For the football thing i am lucky to receive a TV station that shows two games on sunday and also the monday night game. I watched my first game cause there was nothing interisting on the other programms and now i look football allmost every sunday cause i find the game very interesting.
The problem is that it is not easy to be a fan for a special team as there is no real pattern in the way the sunday games are selected. ( Which is done by the NFL representatives and not by the TV station. So i think they try to choose the games that promise the best show)

Now i am looking bills against raiders.

But for the vikings what a comeback to win that game after beeing back 17:0. :bow:

My brother is cheerleader for one of the best national american football teams (Braunschweig Lions). :smile:

No, there are no pompons, it's a mixed group, and some men are needed for the stunts...


To be honest, I haven't seen an american football match in my life - except maybe some movies "sporting" (oun not intended) this ... sport.

To push this thread up again.

As we can see at the moment the request from my first post is still valid.

Another idea could be to ask one of the other projects out there which has a standalone server if they can host our llrnet server.

What do you think about that idea.

Lars

I can run the server, though it will be up for 20-40 min/day ie. it will not be up longer. But that is not a problem as people can set the cache to say 25 tests.

The only problem I see is with people who's clients are not on for 24/7. They will have to hope that their computer is on when I turn my server on. They can also switch to manual LLR.


Citrix

I can run the server on my home PC. It's on 24/7 but maybe off because of an electrical outage for about once a month. Bad news is I'll not go home until thursday.
