As the error message indicates there is a problem with the alignment file.
> rdpir___270E> Error reading/processing file: 1f4h-so34a0.ali > recover____E> ERROR_STATUS >= STOP_ON_ERROR: 1 1
the first obvious thing that seems wrong is the structureX line of the template:
structureX:1f4h: :D:: ::::
It should specify the starting and ending positions corresponding to the sequence using the numbering in the PDB file. For both position the chain should be specified. In this case the line should look something like this (I'm making up the numbers):
structureX:1f4h:1:D:135:D::::
The MODELLER manual has a detailed section on the Alignment file format:
http://salilab.org/modeller/manual/node83.html#alignmentformat
I hope this helps.
Best,
Roberto
