error when running ./check_input_data

[nicolenATginsburg]

I have built many cases and not had a problem. I started getting this error on all cases about one week ago. This happens when running ./check_input_data.

Client protocol gftp not enabled
Using protocol wget with user anonymous and passwd user@example.edu
Could not connect to repo 'ftp://ftp.cgd.ucar.edu/cesm/inputdata/'
This is most likely either a proxy, or network issue .
Using protocol ftp with user anonymous and passwd user@example.edu
server address ftp.cgd.ucar.edu root path cesm/inputdata

Thank you for reporting, it appears that the server is offline, we will try to get it up as quickly as possible.
If you like you can edit file cime/config/cesm/config_inputdata.xml and move the svn server to precede the ftp server.
That should allow check_input_data to work correctly.

The server seems to be working again. Thank you for that speedy recovery! For future reference, what information needs to be provided in config_inputdata.xml inorder to use svn? After moving svn to precede ftp, it says "Using protocol svn with user and passwd" and then continues on to ftp.

This is what I have for svn.
<server>
<protocol>svn</protocol>
<address>https://svn-ccsm-inputdata.cgd.ucar.edu/trunk/inputdata</address>
</server>

This is what I have for ftp.
<server>
<comment> ftp requires the python package ftplib </comment>
<protocol>ftp</protocol>
<address>ftp.cgd.ucar.edu/cesm/inputdata</address>
<user>anonymous</user>
<password>user@example.edu</password>
<checksum>../inputdata_checksum.dat</checksum>
</server>

Putting svn first should have solved the issue, but the ftp server is back now as you have seen.

Perhaps there is a bug in the svn method, I'll look into it.
