Hi,

Still waiting to be excepted to the mailing list... But anyway, I'm having trouble downloading and executing my applications on the boinc client. My application fails to download ala:

[file_xfer] Started download of file basic_1.0_i686-pc-linux-gnu.exe

[file_xfer] Temporarily failed download of basic_1.0_i686-pc-linux-gnu.exe: http error

Backing off 16 min 49 sec on download of file basic_1.0_i686-pc-linux-gnu.exe

To sum it up, I'm at a loss.

Would appreciate any help thanks,
Neil.

Still waiting to be excepted to the mailing list...

The mailing lists except anyone by default. If you just send an email there while not being registered, your post has to be accepted by the mail administrator. Or you could just register and all your mails would be accepted without needing to wait for long.

Do know that you get a confirmation email sent if you register. You need to press the link in the confirmation email before you can post to the email list.

I'm on the mailing list now - my mails were being unwittingly diverted. Thanks for the reply.

Think I may have found a (partial) solution, well to my particular woes anyway (although it kind of conflicts with the documentation):

My server didn't seem to like the idea of having multiple applications, in other words, any applications other than the one that was setup with the make_project script. So I associated my executable with the original application, and it worked. Although I know this shouldn't be the case.

And also, if anyone has the problem of 'Reason: The project is down', then the feeder has failed to start (properly), to the tune of [see feeder.log]:

2007-06-26 19:28:20.3899 [CRITICAL] result [RESULT#19] has bad appid 4; clean up your DB!
[2007/06/26 19:36:35] Executing command: feeder -d 3

Doing a clean-out of workunits seems to clear this up.
