error "interrupted system call"

[Yeroslaviz, Assa]

hello,

when uploading multiple files onto the server (sometimes only 9, sometime even 50) I often get this error:

 Error Error (Interrupted system call) reading http header on http://servername/fileName.wig 

If I just press submit again, it repeat the upload and in most cases complete it without further problems.

I was wondering if there is a reason for this kind of problem and what can i do to prevent it.

Does the browser has a limit on the number of files it can upload in one go?

thanks

Assa

Hello, Assa.

Have you noticed that this is only happening with .wig files?  If it is happening with other types of files, are these very large files that are causing the problems?  I suspect you may be trying to upload very large wiggle files which tends to cause problems.  If this is the case, I highly suggest converting your wiggles to bigWig format which you can read more about at http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bigWig.html.

You may also consider creating a track hub.  See more about track hubs at http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTrackHubHelp.html and http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hubQuickStart.html.
