Hello,

I downloaded (and made) the BOINC server from git://boinc.berkeley.edu/boinc-v2.git (version.log contains string 6.11.1).

Then I created a project with the example application uc2 for the plattforms i686-pc-linux-gnu and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
The project website and the project management website work.
All plattforms, the apps and the workunits are in the database.
In the download directory are all necessary files.

But if I connect a client, I get this in the event log of the client:

Mi 26 Nov 2014 12:02:43 CET | | Fetching configuration file from http://192.168.178.38/tah/get_project_config.php
Mi 26 Nov 2014 12:02:56 CET | Test@home | Master file download succeeded

Mi 26 Nov 2014 12:03:03 CET | Test@home | [error] No start tag in scheduler reply

The workunits have the state unsent in the server.
There isn't a scheduler.log, but the other log files are present.
In the client the sched_reply_192.168.178.38_tah.xml file isn't a xml file, it is a .ELF file.

Thanks in advance.

In the client the sched_reply_192.168.178.38_tah.xml file isn't a xml file, it is a .ELF file.

I wonder if that's the scheduler binary (from projects/tah/cgi-bin). If that's the case then your web server isn't set up correctly. Check the configuration and remember to restart the web server after you've made changes. The file projects/tah/tah.httpd.conf contains the directives you need.

Thanks Juha,

you were right. The CGI scheduler didn't work. I forgot to activate CGI in Apache. After activating CGI with this command

sudo a2enmod cgi

all things work.

Ah, it didn't cross my mind that the CGI module wouldn't be enabled.

Is this Apache 2.4 on Debian-like system? Look like for Apache 2.2 the module is enabled automatically, but not for 2.4.

I use Apache 2.4.7 on Ubuntu Server 14.04.
