I'm sorry but it is really difficult for me to understand BOINC servers...

1. What should I change/add? I want the zip file to unzip (in the slot directory?) and after that BOINC should try to start phoenix.exe. That's it. I want BOINC to run phoenix.exe (no command line parameters needed for phoenix.exe; it should automatically open phoenix.cfg).

2. How can I produce some work? I don't understand this: bin/create_work --appname worker --wu_name worker_nodelete input

Why there are two parameters for --wu_name (worker_nodelete and input)? What is worker_nodelete? What is input? I only need to unzip utopia1.zip and start phoenix.exe and after some time send phoenix.log back to BOINC server.

Whats your input/output template (content)? Do you have the unzip program included?

I only have the worker (phoenix.exe), wrapper (utopia1_26006_windows_x86_64.exe, taken from here http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/wrapper_26002_windows_x86_64.zip and renamed), phoenix_job_1.5.xml and utopia1.zip

Should there be a separate unzip program? I thought the wrapper includes the (un)zip mechanism...

Hi!

I have some problems with the WrapperApp I made. I think the problem was that the zip file didn't unzip. Why not?

How can I make the unzip to work or how can I include subdirectories with
my BOINC WrapperApp? The file utopia1.zip has some files and subdirectories in it, but I never saw the subdirectories in the slot folder...

This is the pre-compiled version I used:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/wrapper_26002_windows_x86_64.zip

This is the file phoenix_job_1.5.xml:
<job_desc>
<task>
<unzip_input>
<zipfilename>utopia1.zip</zipfilename>
</unzip_input>
</task>
<task>
<application>phoenix.exe</application>
</task>
</job_desc>


This is what I got:

And so you ran into a big bug of 5.5.10, which is fixed in 5.5.11. 5.5.11 has its own bugs. And unless you are truely alpha testing these builds, you shouldn't put them on all your machines. If you do find bugs, you report them to the BOINC Alpha email list.


5.5.11 does not seem to have that bug. :)

Post:
Hi!

I cannot send any messages to BOINC Alpha message boards, because I do not have account there. The account creation (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha/create_account_form.php) is disabled. Can someone (moderator?) make BOINC Alpha account for me? Me e-mail address is henri(dot)heinonen(at)mbnet(dot)fi.

If you cannot, can you still give me an estimate, when they will enable the account creation again?

Post:
Sometimes, when I leave my computers to crunch, application suddenly stops crunching. Still, BOINC says that application is running. Windows Task Manager shows CPU usage to be almost 0% and I cannot see the graphics, although I click the 'Show graphics'-button. This happens at least with BOINC 5.5.10. I have two computers and this happens on both of them. What is wrong?
