[Shake-dev] Problems with generating scenarios

Hi Glenn,

We've run into the same problem. What happens is that genex tries to 
rebuilt the website with old events in it. It gets that info from the 
database: We had some events in our database with empty tabsol's. If you 
remove those events the problem goes away..

If you look in the shake-dev archive and search for a post from Steve 
Malone you'll find a brief descirption of this problem too and a similar 
reply.

So a hack for now, I simply added a line in there that if tabsol is blank, just to return timelocal(0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0). This at least allows the ShakeMap to be generated. If anyone has any insight into where the blank tabsol/tzone values are coming from, that could help me determine the real problem.

Its actually crashing on a time subroutine, presumably because month is 0. Where the call is coming from I am not sure (note the strings 'Build' and 'Recent' are not in the programs  bin/genex).

So I went into that database, and deleted rows corresponding to scenarios we wished to disappear from the scenarios.html page from the earthquake, shake_runs and shake_version tables.

I was wondering if putting alphabetic characters in there had something to do with the cancel program not being able to remove scenarios from the database successfully. I have generally been calling my scenarios something like 'Denali_Fault_se', using this for the directory name (under data/) and for the id field.

When I copied the input files to a new directory (and changed the id), last week I was able to generate scenarios with valid grid.xml files. Yet when I reran the original scenarios, first deleting all directories apart from input, once again there was a blank grid.xml file. What could be causing this? It seems there is absolutely no difference in the input data, so is there perhaps something in the MySQL database that stops a valid grid.xml file being generated?
