I'm still using 5.10.8 with ubuntu 7.10.

You using a squid proxy?

You using a squid proxy?

Yup.

Don't want to raise your hopes too much... while it works for me and I'm using squid, I'm not doing proxy auth. I use IP addresses for basic access control.

I'm still using 5.10.8 with ubuntu 7.10.

Did you uninstall the previous version of BOINC through add/remove programs?

I thought we were talking Linux here? :)

Where did you download 5.10.28 ?

I had it from a while back, but you can still download it from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ which has pretty much every version ever compiled.

Removing 5.10.45 and replacing it with 5.10.28 with no further changes works perfectly.

Perhaps the same solution will work for you?

Still looking for help here. Anyone?

This may be a stretch, but how certain are you that the failure is due to failing the proxy auth?
Could it be failing due to some other squid authorisation parameter failing?

Does a web browser on the same box get through?

the <force_auth> was created for a reason so did you try without the flag and just the standard proxy settings.... honestly, I thought you only needed the flag if it was not working out of the box.

[quote]<force_auth>basic</force_auth>

Are you sure you need Basic, not NTLM?

<force_auth>basic</force_auth>

I'm having problems getting information from the various project serves TO my server.

I'm getting the following response:

24-Apr-2008 10:03:38 [---] [http_debug] [ID#7] Received header from server: HTTP/1.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required
24-Apr-2008 10:03:38 [---] [http_debug] [ID#7] Received header from server: Proxy-Authenticate: Basic realm="Company Squid Proxy"

Any suggestions?
Should I define my proxy info in the cc_config.xml? If so, can someone show me how?

You can try:

<cc_config>
    <log_flags>
        <cpu_sched>1</cpu_sched>
        <http_debug>1</http_debug>
        <http_xfer_debug>1</http_xfer_debug>
        <proxy_debug>1</proxy_debug>
        <file_xfer_debug>1</file_xfer_debug>
        <work_fetch_debug>1</work_fetch_debug>
    </log_flags>
    <options>
        <force_auth>basic</force_auth>
    </options>
</cc_config>

Have you had similar problems with the newer 4.X rebuilds? If not, can you put them up on your site so I can download?

Looks some other troubles with the compile. I need some time, but I can not say, if I can get it not to work.
Btw. is there any reason why you use 10.20 and not upgrade to a recent version ?

Thank you for your time. Boss says there are higher priorities, so we can not update for a while.

Could I trouble you for a newer build of BOINC for this cr@ppy old operating system?

Yes. The BOINC client 5.x did not compile on 10.20. But I can try to compile a newer 4.x BOINC client and also try to reproduce the failure with the BOINC client 4.x.
Btw. what is about to update to a recent HPUX release. - 11i V.1 (11.11) is great and should run on the most Workstations. If 11i V.1 is not supported, 11.0 buld be even a lot of better than 10.20.
