MultiFit is not working

Dear Chimera-team, I was trying to use a MultiFit service of Chimera (to fit two models into my cryo density map), and it gives me the following error: Wrote /tmp/tmp_rSyaW/INSRT_model2.pdb Wrote /tmp/tmp_rSyaW/1x1n.pdb Traceback from web service request (connection setup): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/UCSF/Chimera64-1.11.2rc/share/WebServices/opal_client.py", line 11, in __init__ self._setup(serviceName, opalURL, sessionData) File "/opt/UCSF/Chimera64-1.11.2rc/share/WebServices/opal_client.py", line 52, in _setup md = self.sudsClient.service.getAppMetadata() File "/opt/UCSF/Chimera64-1.11.2rc/lib/python2.7/site-packages/suds_jurko-0.6-py2.7.egg/suds/client.py", line 280, in __getattr__ port = self.__find(0) File "/opt/UCSF/Chimera64-1.11.2rc/lib/python2.7/site-packages/suds_jurko-0.6-py2.7.egg/suds/client.py", line 315, in __find raise Exception, 'No services defined' Exception: No services defined Typically, if you get a TypeError, it's a problem on the remote server and it should be fixed shortly.

Hi Julia, I can only suggest reading the error message from Chimera (which you included below) and following its suggestions. See below, starting “Typically…” Basically it says the web service is down but should be up later. I tried the MultiFit web service and it is running now, so maybe it would work if you just tried again. Alternatively, instead of MultiFit, you could try the “fitmap” command, which can fit multiple structures sequentially or do symmetric fitting without using a web service. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/fitmap.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Dear Elaine, thank you for reply! Somehow it still does not work. I will try also a fitmap function, I have several pdb models to fit into my cryo em map. And I was thinking that multiFit could help me with that better. Best, julia ________________________________________ Von: Elaine Meng [meng@cgl.ucsf.edu] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 2.

Can you try again? I see MultiFit jobs running on our server as I type this, so perhaps this was some kind of temporary problem, or a connectivity problem between your site and ours. If the problem continues, please use Help->Report A Bug to make a report, which will automatically include a lot of details about the machine you are using and the version of Chimera.

This error is a networking error. For some reason, Chimera on your computer can't reach www.cgl.ucsf.edu. Googling 'gaierror: Name or service not known', I see that there are many possible causes of this problem. In one case, it happens if the first nameserver that is checked for www.cgl.ucsf.edu doesn't support recursion and reordering the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf fixed the problem. Not being able to access www.cgl.ucsf.edu would explain your problem with MultiFit too. Please forward this information to your IT support guy. -- Greg On 11/03/2016 06:40 AM, Smirnova, Julia wrote:
