Is there the need to open specific ports other then port 80? Or is there something else I have overlooked?

WCG requires Port 443 (https) to be open.

---

443 is open, incoming and outcoming (TCP)

Restart the client,
make it contact WCG with "boinccmd --project http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ update",
wait a moment for the operation to complete,
get messages from the client with "boinccmd --get_messages,
post all the messages here.

Thanks, I see I don't have enough RAM available for using the project. It's a small VPS only for backup DNS i'm running on, so I figured to use the spare CPU time for the project. Will see what I will do :)

Thanks for the tip about the messages :)

Some projects need less RAM. WUProp@Home might help you find one.

Make sure you have permission to run BOINC on that machine, if you have not done so already.
