Hi there, maybe this has been asked before. Is there a way to reassign ports to the client? At this time I am running two instances of BOINC on one machine (one native Linux thread and on emulated Windows thread under wine). As both use different TCP ports, everything works well so far. I intented to upgrade the Linux client (4.19 right now) to a more recent one (5.x). This results in conflicts.

TIA

In later versions (can't remember which version it got added in), there is a command line option that you can add to set the port it listens on:

-gui_rpc_port xxx

Hmmm...

matthias@mlocal:/home/boinc/native> ./boinc -gui_rpc_port 1044
Unknown option: -gui_rpc_port
Unknown option: 1044
Usage: ./boinc [options]

Does anybody know how the actual syntax is?

You have the command line option right. The catch is you have to be using version 5.3.3 or later for it to work.

I use 5.2.13. This seems to be the latest version?

The 5.3.x series hasn't been released yet from beta testing. Sorry, I don't know when the 5.3 version will be released to the public.

Essentially, never. the odd number in the middle shows it to be an alpha/beta version. So the next release coming from it would be a next 5.2 or 5.4 ;)

Yet we're testing the versions. Trying to get a lot of the bugs out.
