Master file parse failed
From Unofficial BOINC Wiki
Contents |
[edit] General
Message Type: Warning Message
The BOINC Client Software is not able to parse the Master File that was received, and thus cannot obtain the list of Schedulers for the Project.
This is likely to be as a result of the BOINC Client Software receiving a corrupt Master File and the operation to retry retrieving the master file will commence at the next communication interval.
Other cases exist where the Project is ended and the Scheduler information embedded within the Master File is removed. This is the case with most of the messages related to Pirates@Home.
[edit] Version Information
- None.

2005-06-26 23:46:05 [Pirates@Home] Deferring communication with project for 2 days, 16 hours,
17 minutes, and 48 seconds
Line-By-Line Explanation
- We are going to do a Scheduler RPC to obtain the Master File from the Project's Web Site.
- Master file parse failed
- The Master File failed to parse for one or more reasons.
- Because of the number of times we tried to work with the Master Page exceeds the error bounds, we will obtain a fresh copy after the time required for the Exponential Back-Off has expired.
- And now we wait for a brief span of time, I mean, heck, it is only 2 days ...
