[Chimera-users] MultiFit is not working

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Julia,
I can only suggest reading the error message from Chimera (which you included below) and following its suggestions.  See below, starting “Typically…”  Basically it says the web service is down but should be up later.  

I tried the MultiFit web service and it is running now, so maybe it would work if you just tried again.

Alternatively, instead of MultiFit, you could try the “fitmap” command, which can fit multiple structures sequentially or do symmetric fitting without using a web service.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
