Bad date in namelist

[antonleontiev]

Hello! While trying to run the WRF model, I faced a lot of different problems. I successfully solved most of them and even was able to run the model for one date just in test case. But when I tried to run real.exe for another date, I get the next error:
tail rsl.error.0000
**WARNING** Time in input file not equal to time on domain **WARNING**
**WARNING** Trying next time in file met_em.d01.2015-01-15_06:00:00.nc ...
1 input_wrf: wrf_get_next_time current_date: 2015-01-15_03:00:00 Status = -4
d01 2015-01-15_06:00:00 ---- ERROR: Could not find matching time in input file met_em.d01.2015-01-15_06:00:00.nc

As I understand, dates in my met_em* files are not match with dates in my namelist.input. Here is a part of my namelist WPS (the preprocessing system was run without errors):

&share
wrf_core = 'ARW',
max_dom = 1,
start_date = '2015-01-15_03:00:00',
end_date = '2015-01-15_06:00:00',
interval_seconds = 10800
io_form_geogrid = 2,

and below the part of namelist.input file is presented:

&time_control
run_days = 0,
run_hours = 3,
run_minutes = 0,
run_seconds = 0,
start_year = 2015,
start_month = 01,
start_day = 15,
start_hour = 03,
start_minute = 00,
start_second = 00,
end_year = 2015,
end_month = 01,
end_day = 15,
end_hour = 06,
end_minute = 00,
end_second = 00,
interval_seconds = 10800,
input_from_file = .true.,
history_interval = 60,
frames_per_outfile = 1,
restart = .false.,
restart_interval = 5000,
io_form_history = 2,
io_form_restart = 2,
io_form_input = 2,
io_form_boundary = 2,
debug_level = 0,
/
This is a list of data files, which I use for processing:
gfs.0p25.2015011500.f000.grib2
gfs.0p25.2015011500.f003.grib2
gfs.0p25.2015011500.f006.grib2
gfs.0p25.2015011500.f009.grib2
gfs.0p25.2015011500.f012.grib2

Should I download some additional files or I just need to change dates in my namelist.input?
Thank you in advance!

The error message shows clearly that the time of your met_em data doesn't match the time you specified in namelist.input. Since your start and end time are:
start_date = '2015-01-15_03:00:00',
end_date = '2015-01-15_06:00:00',

Can you see whether you have met_em.d01.2015-01-15_03:00:00.nc and met_em.d01.2015-01-15_06:00:00.nc in your running directory?
