I recently completed a long-overdue cooling repair on my home file server. Rosetta has been disabled on the server to avoid the load.

Once everything was back together, I upgraded to the latest Rosetta and tried to get some work. The message response is:

6/23/2009 7:45:25 AM	rosetta@home	Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
6/23/2009 7:45:25 AM	rosetta@home	Requesting new tasks
6/23/2009 7:45:30 AM	rosetta@home	Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
6/23/2009 7:45:30 AM	rosetta@home	Message from server: Server error: can't attach shared memory

Anyone else catching this error this morning?

I'm not getting that, but i am getting a file size hiccup.
see this thread for some discussion on your problem.

Seems like you need to wait for BOINC to download the master file from RAH.
Then you can get going.
One post says just let it sit overnight.
There was a server change awhile back, this post talks about the changes and what you can do manually if you want or just wait for BOINC Scheduler to try and get the master file from RAH.

Thanks Greg, manual edits have gotten me back to downloading work.

Spoke too soon ... The manual edits seemed to result in work stuck in the "downloading" state with nothing good happening.

Tried the detach and reattach approach. I'm back to downloading stuff, but now I'm seeing the file size errors (I'm assuming this is what you referred to) on the minirosetta and minirosetta_graphics executables.

Oh well, perhaps it will sort itself out with a bit more time.

There are some file size errors out there, but they usually correct themself after BOINC tries contacting the site again a short time later.
