Error Matching time in input file

Hello, I have WRFV4, it works ok but sometimes I have the following error

What I should check?
I realize that wrfinput_d01 is created by the date, but wrfinput_d02 doesn't.

-rw-r--r-- 1 usuario usuario 3,3M ago 1 20:12 wrfinput_d02
I think I have something wrong in my namelist.
Hope someone can help me with this.
Best regards
Carina

Carina,
Are you getting this error when running real.exe or wrf.exe? Can you attach the full error log?

If this error is with wrf.exe, can you issue the following:
ncdump -v Times wrfbdy_d01 >& log.wrfbdy
ncdump -v Times wrfinput_d01 >& log.wrfinput_d01
ncdump -v Times wrfinput_d02 >& log.wrfinput_d02

and also attach those 3 log.* files? When you're posting a response, look below the response box for the tab 'Options' and one with 3 horizontal lines. If you click on the one with the 3 lines, that will allow you to attach files. Thanks!

When I run with max_domain=1 wrf.exe works.
I attach namelist.input and the files you asked.

Best regards

Carina,
Thank you for sending those. Your namelist (for both domains) is set to begin 2019-08-04_00:00:00. Your wrfinput_d01 file has an initial time of the same thing; however, your wrfinput_d02 file has a start time of 2019-08-03_00:00:00, which is confusing the model. When you ran real.exe, did you have the dates for d02 set differently than for d01? Can you try running real.exe again (not changing the namelist.input file), and see what dates show up in the wrfinput_d01 and wrfinput_d02 files? You can see this information by using the 'ncdump -v Times wrfinput_d01' (for e.g.) commands I gave in the previous message.

 

[carinavb]

When I run real without changing the namelist I get the same result. The dates in both domains are the same I check that several times.
If I change in namelist.input max_domain=1 it works with 1 domain. The strange thing is that sometimes works and sometimes I get the error.

 

[kwerner]

There is absolutely no reason why the wrfinput_d02 file should be created with intitial conditions starting an hour before you are asking for. Has your code been modified in any way? Even if you don't think so, I would suggest trying with a fresh "out-of-the-box" version of WRF - build it in a new directory and try running again to see if you are still getting the same problem.
