1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can't get BOINC to use proxy Message 17875 Posted 15 Jun 2008 by Micha Magen	Well, eventually I managed to do it. I updated the local configuration file - I relaxed the limits on how much disk space needs to be left free a little bit (and also freed some space) and also verified that the settings allow the machine to use two processors - one of these did the trick. Thanks to everyone who helped with ideas and suggestions! Micha.
2) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can't get BOINC to use proxy Message 17856 Posted 13 Jun 2008 by Micha Magen	Yesterday when no HADCM models were available the CPDN server should have sent Micha one of the two other types instead because he hadn't selected a particular type. Micha, I can't find your name on BoincStats to get to your CPDN account and look for possible clues there. Could you please tell us your CPDN user ID number which will be near the top of your BOINC manager messages. Hi, My user ID is 19147 and the computer ID for this machine in the CPDN Web site is 878404. Please let me know if there's any other info you need. Thanks, Micha.
3) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can't get BOINC to use proxy Message 17831 Posted 12 Jun 2008 by Micha Magen	Hi Micha CPDN now has plenty of new work available. But if you've selected only SAP HADAM models in your CPDN project preferences and your computer has less than 1.5GB RAM, the server won't send you anything. That's the default minimum RAM to run those models. You'd need to select HADCM (very long) or HADCM (much shorter) instead. http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/server_status.php I have 2GB RAM and haven't selected any preference to a certain type of models. Is it possible that the server avoids sending me more work either because of other preferences (e.g. disk space etc), because it takes into account the resources taken by the model already running on one core or because there's a daily limit on work allocated? Thanks, Micha.

6) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can't get BOINC to use proxy Message 17812 Posted 12 Jun 2008 by Micha Magen	Thanks, using 'enter' solved this problem... Stupid of me not to have thought to try it. I'm using 1280X1024, should be more than enough... I see the entire frame of the form but it seems to be too large for the frame. In the "connections" dialogue, for example, the left sides of "set default" and "clear default" buttons are placed over the scrollbar of the list, and only the "default connection" header below can be seen but not the default connection itself. Now another question: once I attached to my project (climateprediction.net) I got a task and it seems to run fine. However, the system is dual-core and I'd like to get two tasks - but I'm not getting a second. The manager is sending requests for more work but the server refuses to send any - why would that happen? Thanks, Micha.
7) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can't get BOINC to use proxy Message 17809 Posted 12 Jun 2008 by Micha Magen	Got a new laptop (XP professional, SP2). Installed BOINC 5.10.45 - so far so good. Tried to attach to project - received "project temporarily unavailable". Tried another project with same results. From previous experience I know that this might be caused by BOINC not being able to pass through the autoproxy setup my company uses; however, no proxy configuration form was presented to me. No problem, went to the advanced->options->http proxy form and filled the details - but I'm unable to store them because this form doesn't have an OK button in this installation! Tried modifying the client_state.xml to add the proxy data. This helped with getting the data in, but this doesn't check the "use proxy" button - either I need the form to do this or there's an option I can add in the XML but can't see it documented anywhere. What gives?
