[edit] General
Message Type: Warning Message
This Error Message means that the Server cannot handle the requested file. The Exponential Back-Off Mechanism has been used to try again later and it has failed. After a certain number of attempts the BOINC Client Software will give up entirely, this will normally take weeks so that a temporary problem is not abandoned. This may also happen the on the first attempt to upload without any back-off depending on the exact reply from the Server.
[edit] Version Information
- None.

[edit] Permanently Failed Upload of File
This error means that the BOINC Client Software when it uploaded the Result Data File to the Project's Data Server the Signature did not validate. Because of this the file is considered corrupted and a security risk.
Because of the security implications, the file will not be accepted and it is rejected and immediately deleted from the Data Server.
One of the minor interesting items in this message display is the fact that you can see that two upload threads are run and because they fail at different rates, the messages become interleaved. In a specific example, fine #1 and #2 are started, #1 fails and #3 is started before #2 fails. Hey, sometimes I get bored with this stuff and wonder if anyone reads any of it at all.

server rejected file
Line-By-Line Explanation
- We restart a Result that has already been partially processed.
- The Science Application has "crashed" and stopped processing the Result/Work Unit.
- Because the Science Application ended processing (it "crashed"), we need to start up another Result.
- Because of the "crash" the current Result has been halted. This Result, when the Reporting Process is complete will be recorded with an Outcome of "Client Error".
- We start to upload two of the 5 Result Data Files.
- We will continue to attempt to upload the other Result Data Files in turn, each will fail upload with the following sequence of messages ...
- The Signature of the Result Data File is incorrect.
- Because of the invalid signature, this Result Data File cannot be accepted by the Data Server.
- Giving up on upload of '(file)': server rejected file
- The Data Server rejected the file because of the invalid Signature and we cannot assign a different signature, so abandon the attempt to upload the file.
