Hi @ziba76,

The Rec model server seems to be in working order and I can successfully run the model on the sample data. In general, this sort of error tends to happen when your internet connection isn’t stable. If you’re still experiencing this problem, could you please upload your logfile? That would help me pin down the exact problem.

Thanks!

Hello, and thank you very much for your prompt response and support.

As requested, I’m sharing two log reports from running the Recreation model. The first run was executed with a VPN connection, and the second one without VPN. Both runs resulted in errors related to server access or URI configuration.

Run with VPN:

I’ve attached both log files for your review. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can provide to help diagnose the issue.

HI @ziba76 , thanks for sharing your logs. This model, unlike other invest models, requires a connection to a remote server on Google Cloud. The non-VPN log shows a failure to retrieve the server’s URL from a lookup we keep on Google Cloud. So the VPN allows you to access that google cloud resource and get the correct URL for the server, but you still can’t connect to that server.

I believe in this case the “connected party” is your computer. The server is trying to establish a connection with your computer by using a “handshake”, and it seems like your computer may not be allowing the incoming message from the server. That could be due to firewall rules, or VPN settings, or something else having to do with your network. It is a difficult problem to diagnose. If you are able to figure something out, please do let us know.
