Hey guys,

Just starting playing around with Headless Linux installs for BOINC on my 4P Servers.

Having an issue where a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04, I SSH into the machine and install Boinc then;

boinccmd --lookup_account http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org username password
boinccmd --project_attach http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org (account key)
boinccmd --get_state

Here I can see that it's all been setup and working, htop reveals that it's working 100% on all 48 cores.

Now the problems start, any boinccmd --project URL op commands return with "Operation Failed: Error -1"

eg; boinccmd --project http://worldcommunitygrid.org/ nomorework

Returns error -1.

Any ideas guy? Is this something simple I'm missing?

Have you set a password for the client? If you have then boinccmd needs to read it from gui_rpc_auth.cfg file in current directory or you need to supply it in command line.

Yea I set a password in the client using nano.

Currently at work and don't have VPN but will try when I get home, should gui_rpc_auth.cfg be empty when using boinccmd?

How do you issue the command with the password in it?

Nevermind guys, upon going over the wiki page for the 10th time I can see;

boinccmd [--host hostname] [--passwd passwd] command

Assuming then command would be;

boinccmd --passwd password --project http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ nomorework

Thanks.[/code]

Assuming then command would be;

boinccmd --passwd password --project http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ nomorework

Thanks.

You don't need the http:// or the trailing /

It should be:

boinccmd --passwd password --project www.worldcommunitygrid.org nomorework
