Hi,
I created a boinc server on amazon web services and used a simple "hello world" as project.

I was able to create work units and now I'm trying to run a client on my machine which will execute these jobs.
First some technical data:
boincserver - Linux Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit
server status:

bin/status
BOINC is ENABLED

DAEMON pid status lockfile disabled commandline
1 4678 running locked no feeder -d 3
2 4681 running locked no transitioner -d 3
3 4684 running locked no file_deleter -d 3

TASK last run period next run lock file disabled commandline
1 2015/01/12 20:45:01 24 hours 2015/01/13 20:45:01 unlocked no antique_file_deleter -d 2
2 ? 24 hours NOW unlocked yes db_dump -d 2 --dump_spec ../db_dump_spec.xml
3 ? 1 days NOW unlocked yes run_in_ops ./update_uotd.php
4 ? 1 hour NOW unlocked yes run_in_ops ./update_forum_activities.php
5 2015/01/12 20:45:01 1 days 2015/01/13 20:45:01 unlocked no update_stats
6 ? 24 hours NOW unlocked yes run_in_ops ./update_profile_pages.php
7 ? 24 hours NOW unlocked yes run_in_ops ./team_import.php
8 ? 24 hours NOW unlocked yes run_in_ops ./notify.php

I looked into my server admin page under the app and made sure the workunit exists.

Client:
OS: Linux ubuntu 64 bit 14.04
(I already created an executable in the server for linux 64 bit version with all the required folder structure. "update_versions" execution was successful. Also, I ran the executable as "standalone" to verify it is working).

I installed "boinc-client" deb package (without the manager) on my machine.
I tried to use this command:
boinccmd --create_account http://http://ec2-54-149-156-24.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/gridify/ <my email> <password> <name>
and got this result:
status: Success
poll status: operation in progress
poll status: can't resolve hostname

Now I use ran this command:
boinccmd --lookup_account http://ec2-54-149-156-24.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/gridify/ <my email> <password>

This is the result I get:
status: Success
poll status: operation in progress
poll status: operation in progress
poll status: no database rows found in lookup/enumerate

Also, I do not see in the server admin page any reference for my account being created there.

Please help me connect my client to the server.[/quote]

boinccmd --create_account http://http://ec2-54-149-156-24.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/gridify/ <my email> <password> <name>

Proofreading I see you used http:// twice. Did you do so when actually using the command as well?
