I am trying to run the visitation model to get results from a map, but I keep encountering these errors, and I’m not sure why. I’m including a file folder that includes all the data input, the log text, and other files that resulted from it. Let me know if there’s anything you might need!
Thanks!

Hello @Isabella_Smith and welcome back! Could you also provide the logfile from your model run? That will help us determine whether the issue is in the data, on the server, or somewhere in between.
It looks like this logfile is from a Coastal Blue Carbon model run, which won’t match the Recreation model issue that you mentioned. Could you try uploading the Recreation logfile?
Thanks!
Oh sorry! I accidentally sent the wrong one. Here’s the right one.
Got it, thanks! This is an interesting error that I don’t think I’ve seen before. I’m looking into it.
Okay, thank you very much for being willing to help!
Hello @jdouglass,
I am getting what looks like the same error as in this topic. Every Recreation run I tried today (23 Oct 2026, InVEST 3.20.2, Windows) fails on the server right after the AOI upload, both with my own AOI (Illas Atlánticas, Spain) and with the official sample data (andros_aoi.shp, 2012-2017, no regression), so it does not seem to depend on the input data.
The AOI is accepted and decompressed on the server (PUD and TUD start “running calc user days”), and then both fail with RuntimeError: OGR Error: Corrupt data in recmodel_server._calc_aggregated_points_in_aoi → pygeoprocessing.transform_bounding_box → target_ref.ImportFromWkt(target_projection_wkt). The WKT that fails is the target one (lat_lng_ref.ExportToWkt()), not the AOI’s, so the server seems unable to build its WGS84 reference (maybe a missing PROJ database in the invest_3_19_0 environment).
I could not attach the files (new account), so I paste both logs below. The second one is shortened because its traceback is identical to the first.

Thanks,

@Isabella_Smith , @marioontiyuelo , thank you for reporting this issue. It seems like something was corrupted on the server. We have switched over to a new server and things should be working as expected now. Please try again. Thanks!
Hi @dave, thank you for your quick response. I can confirm the problem is solved: the model now runs correctly with the sample data.
Hugs!
Mario
