I am trying to learn a bit about BOINC.I am using the following
documentation

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

I have successfully executed the following commands

Run the BOINC virtual server in a VMWare player. Set up its IP address, say a.b.c.d.
Logged into the server as 'boincadm', create a test project:
$ cd ~/boinc/tools
$ ./make_project --url_base http://a.b.c.d --test_app test
(answer "y" to all questions)
$ cd ~/projects/test
$ su -c 'cat test.httpd.conf >> /etc/apache2/httpd.conf'
(you'll be prompted for the root password, which is "rootpw")
$ su -c 'apache2ctl -k restart'
$ crontab test.cronjob
$ ./bin/xadd
$ ./bin/update_versions
(answer "y" to all questions; ignore warnings)
$ ./bin/start

I am stuck at these
Download, install, and run the BOINC client on a Linux computer.
Attach the client to your new project:
If you're using the BOINC Manager, enter the URL ​http://a.b.c.d/test/, and enter an email and password.
Otherwise use the command-line tool to create an account and attach:
$ boinccmd --create_account http://a.b.c.d/test/ email-addr password account-name
account key: XXX
$ boinccmd --project_attach http://a.b.c.d/test/ XXX
Your BOINC client will immediately begin fetching and executing jobs from the server (the jobs are for a sample application that uses 1 minute of CPU time and processes a 4 MB file). You can repeat this on as many computers as you want. Voila! You're doing distributed computing.

In a web browser, visit ​http://a.b.c.d/test. You will see your project's web site. You can log in (using the same email/password) and access your volunteer account information.


My question is how do I test my project on the BOINC virtual machine?
