I am trying to learn a bit about BOINC.I am using the following documentation http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/QuickStart I have successfully executed the following commands Run the BOINC virtual server in a VMWare player. Set up its IP address, say a.b.c.d. Logged into the server as 'boincadm', create a test project: $ cd ~/boinc/tools $ ./make_project --url_base http://a.b.c.d --test_app test (answer "y" to all questions) $ cd ~/projects/test $ su -c 'cat test.httpd.conf >> /etc/apache2/httpd.conf' (you'll be prompted for the root password, which is "rootpw") $ su -c 'apache2ctl -k restart' $ crontab test.cronjob $ ./bin/xadd $ ./bin/update_versions (answer "y" to all questions; ignore warnings) $ ./bin/start I am stuck at these Download, install, and run the BOINC client on a Linux computer. Attach the client to your new project: If you're using the BOINC Manager, enter the URL http://a.b.c.d/test/, and enter an email and password. Otherwise use the command-line tool to create an account and attach: $ boinccmd --create_account http://a.b.c.d/test/ email-addr password account-name account key: XXX $ boinccmd --project_attach http://a.b.c.d/test/ XXX Your BOINC client will immediately begin fetching and executing jobs from the server (the jobs are for a sample application that uses 1 minute of CPU time and processes a 4 MB file). You can repeat this on as many computers as you want. Voila! You're doing distributed computing. In a web browser, visit http://a.b.c.d/test. You will see your project's web site. You can log in (using the same email/password) and access your volunteer account information. My question is how do I test my project on the BOINC virtual machine? |
