Questions and problems :
New Windows install no reading app_config.xml
(Message 92797)
Posted 2 days ago by Richard Haselgrove Post: From the file location, I see you're running Windows. How did you prepare the file? The usual advice is to use the Windows simple text editor 'Notepad', but by default this produces files with the '.txt' extension - so you might have created 'app_config.xml.txt' by mistake. And then Windows hides the .txt extension in File Manager, and simply describes the file as a 'Text Document' instead. To be certain, use Control Panel (Folder Options or File Explorer Options, depending on your version of Windows): on the View tab, uncheck "Hide extensions for klnown file types". That will show you exactly what's going on, and you can edit the file name to remove the extra '.txt' if that is indeed the problem. |

Posted 2 days ago by Richard Haselgrove Post: David Wallom says the team will investigate during office hours tomorrow.and As we are seeing messages about a number of services I am suspecting network equipment problems rather than the underlying CPDN servers.I'm not sure I follow the logic of that last one. |

Posted 3 days ago by Richard Haselgrove Post: I just tried pasting https://www.cpdn.org/ into a browser, and got This site can’t be reached www.cpdn.org took too long to respond.The usual browser rubbish can be ignored - I know I'm online because it's spellchecking as I type! Edit - while I was typing that, the browser did connect - sort of. I got a very crude HTML representation of the front page (no style sheet formatting), and the error message Warning: file_get_contents(https://www.cpdn.org/menu_boinc.xml): failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /home/boinc/cpdnboinc/html/inc/header.inc on line 9 |

Posted 3 days ago by Richard Haselgrove Post: I'd enforce contact with the scheduler first (Manager, Projects tab, update) and scour the Event Log for the proper messages - including 'using old url'. The current CPDN crew are still pretty green where BOINC is concerned: I wouldn't trust them to get a difficult change like that right until I see the results for myself. Following my own advice on this machine just now, I got 12/09/2019 18:53:27 | climateprediction.net | Scheduler request failed: Error 403- but admittedly this machine hasn't followed all the previous changes. |

Questions and problems :
BOINC And windows server 2016
(Message 92727)
Posted 8 days ago by Richard Haselgrove Post: Thanks for the report. I'll happily pass this upstream to the Windows Installer team, but I'd like a little more information first, please. Looking at https://www.boincstats.com/stats/5/host/breakdown/os/ (Host Operating System breakdown for Einstein@Home), I see multiple versions of Windows Server 2016 attached and (presumably) running - Standard, Datacenter, and Evaluation, in various combinations. But unfortunately, it's hard to assess externally whether they are running "the latest" (by which I presume you mean v7.14.2) version of BOINC, and we don't know whether they used a standard or custom installer. So, could you please post some technical details of how you discovered the MSI incompatibility: in particular, please could you post the text of any error messages and their associated error numbers, if any. Details of your particular server version would also be helpful. |

Posted 10 days ago by Richard Haselgrove Post: Grumble. My email provider, British Telecom, subcontracts its email service to Yahoo. BT says Yahoo is experiencing a global outage - but I'm not their customer, so I've got nobody to send a complaint email to. Even if I could send it... So, no email receipts here. Find another way. Later - email is visible again, though my inbox is mercifully quiet. The problem has been noticed: Yahoo email fault hits BT, Sky and TalkTalk customers |

Posted 11 days ago by Richard Haselgrove Post: And he fixed a minor bug for me over the weekend. That felt like displacement activity, too: sidetracking from the much more important issues which are still backing up. Like the stalled v7.16.1 release - which was something that David himself was champing at the bit for, months ago. |

Posted 13 days ago by Richard Haselgrove Post: Now I have it installed, but it will not start. The error is "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b".Ouch. 0xC000007B(from MSDN NTSTATUS Values) I think you need to review whatever steps you took to force it into installing. |

Another BOINC isn't sleeping when computer in use issue.
(Message 92661)
Posted 14 days ago by Richard Haselgrove Post: The screenshot is working here, but it's on an advertising-supported website - it's possible an ad-blocker or similar might interfere with display. I see a single task 'uploading (suspended - computer is in use)', plus many others either 'Running' or 'Waiting to run'. Most of the running tasks are from Asteroids@home, plus one Rosetta@home: the waiting tasks are Rosetta, World Community Grid, and one Einstein. It looks as if networking is being suspended, but computing isn't. BOINC doesn't have separate 'computer in use' detection mechanisms for the two functions, so I'd zero in on the 'Activity' menu - is the top ('Run') section set to 'always' or 'based on preferences'? |

Posted 18 days ago by Richard Haselgrove Post: Jord discovered, late on a Friday afternoon, that data was being transferred horribly slowly from device to device (phone to tablet? Something like that) and he wanted to free up space before the following morning. Both devices had USB-C sockets, but neither of us had a cable to hand. By the time we'd scratched our heads, compared prices etc., it was nearly 18:30 - which cuts down the 'same day collection' options quite severely. To my surprise, the UK retail chain 'PC-World' had one at a reasonable price, and in stock at the second-nearest branch. So we took a quick hop across the moor to Guiseley, in contraflow to the remains of the evening rush hour. And back in time for dinner. |

Posted 21 days ago by Richard Haselgrove Post: They come into play (automatically) when you return a sequence of errored or invalid results. Check your machine, perhaps restart it, consult other users of Universe@Home. In short, try to work out what the problem is, and fix it. You can still be allocated one task per day. If you return that successfully, and it's valid, your quota will gradually be raised as you return successive valid tasks. |
