Hi at all,
i'm new.
I have download the Boinc Manager and the BoincStatsBAM!
I have subscribed 4 project and i see them on the Project screen (advanced visualization), but no computing start.
The elaboration and transfer screen are empty.
I'm behind a http proxy, but the connection to the projects work.
I have read a lot of post, but doesn't work for me.
Could someone give some suggestion?
Thanks in advance
Andrea

By default, BOINC will only allow project applications to start calculations when the computer is idle. That is, when there is work from any of the 4 projects.

In the global preferences at any of the 4 projects, check for the options Suspend work while computer is in use? and Suspend GPU work while computer is in use? The latter preference depends of course on whether you have a capable GPU and the project does anything with GPUs or not.

It's also possible that you're (already) using local preferences, these override the global preferences on the local computer. In that case check for these settings in the computing preferences in the Tools menu.

And else, post the first 30-40 lines of the event log after a clean start-up of BOINC. That'll give us a lot more information than you can type.

Ageless thanks for your reply.
This pc is always on, and i have already to stop the elaboration only if CPU is over 50%.
The proxy setting (http only) are ok.
This is the log:

After that all the project go to "Comunicazione rinviata: 00:00:00) and wait for 24h.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion

The proxy setting (http only) are ok.

Apparently not, as BOINC seems to be in a continual state of trying to get information from the projects you've added. Your computer hasn't gotten a hostID number yet at any of the projects, nor does your BOINC seem to be able to get the initialization files from the projects.

So, open Notepad and add into it the following lines:

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<proxy_debug>1</proxy_debug>
<http_debug1</http_debug
<http_xfer_debug>1</http_xfer_debug>
</log_flags>
</cc_config>

In Notepad do File->Save As...->set the save to directory to C:\Programdata\BOINC\, set Save as type to "All files", set encoding to ANSI, set File name to cc_config.xml

Next open BOINC Manager->Advanced menu->Read config files.
Next click the projects tab, select any of the projects (just one, please) and click Update.
Then open Event Log (CTRL+SHIFT+E) and copy all that information and post that here.

I have done the step suggested, but the results seems to be the same:

After the update the 24h countdown start again with status "Comunicazione rinviata"
I'm behind a office firewall and usually all the programs work with the proxy settings i have done (for http only).
If socks packets are needed, i have to change it.
I tell that proxy works because if i set it to a wrong configuration, BOINC gime me an error during project update.
Thanks again
Andrea Consiglio

Finally it works!
I have set a socks proxy and the process starts.
Thanks again for all.
Best regards
Andrea
