I have run the quad update batch file once (4-quad-update-prpclient.bat) and then try to run quad start (4-quad-start-prpclient.bat) and it says the prpclient.exe is missing. I also noticed that the 4 sub-directories that were created by the previous installation package are not made now with today's package (I guess that explains the missing prpclient.exe message).

No not the last 14 days.

When you run 4 core install script there shall be 4 prpclient-1-4.

If not there are something wrong.

I shall investigate..

What OS Win7 ?

Check that you have permission to create directory.

The same in linux and check that all scripts and bin files have execution permission.

I dowloaded and run the install script for 4 core and got 4 new folders and the apps in them.

Lennart

EDIT: You do it in the uncompressed folder ? :)

Thanks all sorted now. I failed to run the install batch file, silly mistake huh! Only did the master and the update before trying start - forgot the install.

Yeah Win7.

I'm 'trying' to use prpclient-5.0.5-windows.7z
Used the PRPNet client link in the 1st post in this thread and ended up here: http://uwin.mine.nu/PRPNet/
Can't see the older versions you guys are talking about.
Downloaded the 5.0.5 client.
The readme instructions need to be updated

1. unzip the 7z
2. open that folder
3. modify the file master_prpnet.ini with your settings
4. run the X-xxxx-install-prpclient.bat which will create the number of folders and copy in the programs to each (NB - it does NOT copy the INI file)
5. run the X-xxxx-update-prpclient-ini.bat (NB - this does copy the INI file)
6. run the X-xxxx-start-prpclient.bat

That 'should' get you going.

On Win7 64 however I have a 'failure to fly' with prpclient-5.0.5-windows.7z:

"Fatal error at setup : Number sent to gwsetup is too large for the FFTs to handle."

10 cores idling.

Has someone got a link to a PRPNet client that works that I can use?
TIA

Without being familiar with those setup scripts, it sounds more like a problem with LLR or PFGW than PRPnet. There are some builds of the latest LLR (3.8.7) at http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=4016. Assuming you have a non-AVX CPU, you'll want this link.
If you do need the PRPnet client: (this doesn't include setup scripts)
http://home.roadrunner.com/~mrodenki...pnet_5.0.6.zip

The installation looks correct, maybe there is an issue with the master_prpclient.ini.

Which parameters you set as startoption, stopoption and stopasapoption?

Have you commented out the servers you did not want to run?

Have you set the right apps, depending on the system you run (x86, x64, AVX?)

I tried to send you mine via PM, but I looks like there too many characters to send.

Definitely an issue with llr or pfgw, most likely llr since it is base 2. Try a different build of llr.

Alternatives tried and failed with same error.

odicin. Thanks. Config is correct.

EDIT -
I found an old set of 32-bit PRPNet binaries in my archive that I used successfully April last year.
Runs slow but at least it is stable and will produce some results.
2 days down and I have 1 core working. yay. I'll try to bring my enthusiasm tomorrow. :p

Lennart · 2012-02-20, 14:19

There are 3 llr in the folders and it will use the one you have in master ini file.

llr.exe
llravx.exe
llrCUDA.exe

In master ini what do you use here ?

// LLR can be downloaded from http://jpenne.free.fr/index2.html
// If your CPU is AVX capable, comment out the llr.exe line
// and uncomment the llravx.exe line
llrexe=llr.exe
// llrexe=llravx.exe

AMDave · 2012-02-20, 14:42

llr.exe in master ini

the point is moot.
I don't have time to do elimination testing right now and I lost the mood for it.
Timezone not working in my favour atm.

I'm now using the 32-bit binaries from April 2011 for this run.
1 laptop now on 2 cores

I was going to bring in several other boxen but I have spent more time on this than planned.
Maybe a couple more cores tomorrow.

What is the max cache (how many wu's I can get from the server at a time)?
What is the expiration time of these wu's?

I am asking because I want to do some work offline, and need to know how long offline periods I can have.
