BOINC and Science United have moved to a new server, running up-to-date versions of Linux (Ubuntu), MariaDB, PHP, GNU tools, Mediawiki, and so on. Thanks to Jeff Cobb for overseeing this; it wasn't easy. Let me know if any problems. |

After a period of invisibility, everything seems to be back in place. One small problem: the directory listing for https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ - the download archive for tools and earlier versions - can't be displayed (although downloads of individual files still work). It would be most helpful to be able to see what's available. |

My BOINC Manager now cannot connect to the new server. I have a blank manager: no projects, tasks, etc.(first time this has ever happened.) Thoughts? |

Apologies if this is a "user error". When trying to create a new userid, I get the following error: Can't create account I was able to create a new account to post on this forum, using what looks like the same version of reCAPTCHA. |

Where are you trying to create a userID where you get the error? |

https://www.cpdn.org/create_account_form.php Yes, Climateprediction.net is Oxford based. Having been able just now to reproduce the error, I will email Andy who does the web stuff there. Edit: This site is completely separate from the project sites. |

Do you plan to release this server version in a VM (or a ISO) "ready to go"?? |

The server David talks about is the physical hardware. Not the BOINC server software. |

Windows BOINC build is broken due to missed dependencies (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/git/boinc_depends_win_vs2013.git). Last successful build was 10 days ago: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/BOINC/boinc/builds/31876019 Next was failed near 9 days ago: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/BOINC/boinc/builds/31907790 Looks like during update we haven't migrated dependencies. Could you confirm or reject this hypothesis? |

The dependencies are under maintenance. It's known that they aren't available right now. |

I am also receiving reCAPTCHA errors when attempting to sign up for new projects at LHC@home, Cosmology@Home, and Universe@Home. I attempted to create the accounts one week ago, and gave up after trying from different devices and browsers. I tried again today, but it still doesn't work. After realizing the inability to request help as a guest in the individual project help forums, I also created an account here. https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/ https://www.cosmologyathome.org/ https://universeathome.pl/universe/ "Your reCAPTCHA response was not correct. Please try again. Click your browser's Back button to try again." Thank you for your help. Alan |

Try signing up via BOINC Manager->Tools->Add project. This should circumvent the reCaptcha. |
