Hi,

I have got BOINC setup using the VM on Virtualbox and installed the client on a OSX machine. However when setting up the test project as described here:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/QuickStart

after running ./bin/start all seems ok. I then attach with my client by Adding the project. But I can't seem to get anything to happen. Nothing gets transferred, no tasks are listed. (The status web page for the project also shows no activity)

Any ideas of where to look for problems? I ran the steps in the QuickStart without errors... are there any logs anywhere i can look at?

Thanks for any help

Adam

What are you trying to do? Just run work from projects, or set up your own project and run that work? The QuickStart page is to set up your own project.

If you just want to run BOINC on any project of choice, so long it has an OS X application (not all do), perhaps you want to start on http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Main_Page or even at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/.

Thanks for your reply.

I want to try to setup my own projects to run work from. At the moment though I was just trying to get the process working with the Quickstart tutorial so that I can see how the whole thing fits together.

I'm not quite sure where to look to try to debug this process though, nothing seems to happen on the client, even though the server seems to be running ok?

Thanks again

Adam

You're better off asking on the BOINC Projects email list. This is where project admins can ask all the questions they want and get answers from other admins, or the developers. The list needs registration.
