Just recently I've been getting

SCHEDULER_REPLY::parse(): bad first tag content type:text/plain
Can't parse scheduler reply

When I've seen this before it's been down to the database connection limit being exceeded, but the scheduler sends a malformed message to this effect.

@Admins: can you fix the scheduler so it sends a properly constructed response?

Does E@H need more processing power already? (all the other projects have found they do!)

Can't parse scheduler reply

Can you tell the exact time of this (preferrable UTC or give you timezone)? We found the server haltet this morning for no reason we could find yet. Apparently the WU generator got a damage which might be the reason for this. Bruce is working on it right now.

It would have been about five minutes before I posted the message: 14:50 UTC, or thereabouts.

This is exactly what happened: we exceeded the DB connection limit.

Yes! I'll send you an email: please send me the sched_reply.xml file.

So far our system load averages about 5%. So we don't think so.

I can't send the actual

I can't send the actual sched_reply.xml file - it's been overwritten with sucessful replies. But here's the version taken from the LHC@Home pages which had the same problem before Christmas. I have added the lines so the beginning and end of the file are clear
File starts on next line------------------------------
Content-type: text/plain

[scheduler_reply]
[message priority="low"]Server can't open database[/message]
[request_delay>3600[/request_delay]
[project_is_down/]
[/scheduler_reply]
[scheduler_reply]
[project_name>LHC@home[/project_name]
[/scheduler_reply]
File ends on previous line--------------------------------

The problem appears to be the first line. The 'Content-type...' message shouldn't be included.

>>So far our system load averages about 5%. So we don't think so.

Hehe - Good luck!

This just started to happen to me. The progam was trying to return a WU that had just been finished.

I have the same exact problem

I have the same exact problem as slavko.sk on two of my machines. They are running Win 98 SE and Boinc 4.19 but never exibited this condition before the crash. I assume either you folks are working on the database server or something since I also have a no reply from scheduler on a 3rd machine from home with WinXP SP1 and Boinc 4.19. Both locations have clean Hi-Speed DSL lines, No proxy in use.

We had some problem with the scheduler as a result of the server crash.
The scheduler is now running again.
