I was using the following input lines:
%nprocshared=16
%mem=47GB
%oldchk=Restarting_with_1TS2.chk
%chk=gv5_Restarting_with_1TS2.chk
#p stable=opt lanl2dz guess=read geom=check m06
But I get an error message as;
Copying data from "Restarting_with_1TS2.chk" to current chk file "gv5_Restarting_with_1TS2.chk"
IOpt= 2 FromEx=T IUOpen= 4 IOptOp= 5 NList= 0 IFRang= 0 IUIn= 4 IUOut= 2.
Old file "Restarting_with_1TS2.chk" could not be opened.
How to solve this? Please help. Thanks.
Madhusha Manna Peruma The error message you received indicates that the program encountered difficulty opening the file "Restarting_with_1TS2.chk" for reading. There are a few potential solutions you can try to address this issue:
1. Check File Path: Ensure that the file "Restarting_with_1TS2.chk" is located in the correct directory and that the file name is spelled correctly. Double-check the file path and make sure it is accessible from the location where you are running the program.
2. File Permissions: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to read the file. If you are running the program with limited user privileges, make sure you have the appropriate access rights to open and read files in the specified location.
3. File Corruption: It is possible that the "Restarting_with_1TS2.chk" file is corrupted or incomplete. Try opening the file separately using a file viewer or editor to ensure its integrity. If the file is indeed corrupted, you may need to obtain a valid and complete version of the file to proceed.
4. Specify Full File Path: Instead of relying on the program's default search paths, you can specify the full file path for both the input and output checkpoint files. Provide the complete directory path along with the file name when using the %oldchk and %chk directives. For example:
%oldchk=/path/to/Restarting_with_1TS2.chk
%chk=/path/to/gv5_Restarting_with_1TS2.chk
By explicitly specifying the file path, you ensure that the program knows the exact location of the checkpoint file.
If the issue persists after trying these solutions, it may be helpful to consult the documentation or support resources specific to the software you are using. They can provide more detailed guidance and assistance in resolving the error.
Remember to adapt the provided suggestions to the specific requirements and syntax of the software you are working with.
I hope this helps resolve the error you encountered. Good luck with your computations!
