1) Message boards : Server programs : problems with wxWidgets (Message 20700)
Posted 7 Oct 2008 by peterlavin
Post:
./configure passes a command to wx-config something like...

/usr/local/bin/wx-config ---version --static=yes --unicode=no --debug=no

Yes's and no's above all depending on which options are used.

Depending on your options, you need to find which variation of the above cmd changes in the configure script and re-configure wxWidgets to match this. Otherwise, configure (the boinc one) gets back a verbose message instead of something like 2.6.0, and so gives that message.

The C and S are on two VM in a testbed. Connectivity and bandwidth should not be an issue. Everything else seems in place and looks normal.


Update from originator...
This problem was caused by a new client who had never downloaded anything having the host.n_bqup and host.n_bwdown database values set to 0.0. These get updated to actual values after some data transfers take place.

A new line in the check_bandwith method of schec_send.C has been added now in rev 15440 and it the original problem outlined in this thread...

// if n_bwdown is zero, the host has never downloaded anything,
// so skip this check
//
if (reply.host.n_bwdown == 0) return 0;


regards,
Peter

Hi again J, I didn't make myself clear. I am running a server too, with cplan and uppercase as the project. The C and S are on two VM in a testbed. Connectivity and bandwidth should not be an issue. Everything else seems in place and looks normal.
No, I'm not sure if the site is still completely up&running, with everything in place.

I'll wait for an answer, but don't expect one for the next 4 hours.

no worries, I'm here all day, thanks for your help,

I've tried a few things like over writing the 0.0 values in the server d'base, but these get reset to zero (i.e. net_stats is working but ???)

Hi Jord, do you mean to say it is defunct, i.e. the version downloaded will not work due to changes in the software, etc?

Peter

I'm not sure if CPlan is still up&running. I've asked the developers about that.

6) Message boards : Server programs : how to create my own boinc project... (Message 17914)
Posted 17 Jun 2008 by peterlavin
Post:
Hi, the sequence goes (roughly and summarised), install the boinc server, run /tools/make_project and then ./bin/create_work. There is lots of info on this on various wikis but I found this article very useful and consice.

http://w3.linux-magazine.com/issue/71/Distributed_Applications_With_BOINC.pdf

Peter

I set up a boinc server. (hopefully, the first content is 'relpace with project name', it's successful, isn't?) Here is the link http://canis.csc.ncsu.edu:8005/boinc_test/.

Then I tried to run the sample app upper_case, everything goes on well according to the instruction except create_work,


kchen3@lobo:/chen/project/boinc_test$ ./bin/create_work -appname upper_case -wu_name test -wu_template templates/upper_case_wu -result_template templates/upper_case_result in
No file number found
process_wu_template: -112
create_work: -112
kchen3@lobo:/chen/project/boinc_test$



I set the file number into 0 in the wu template the first time and second time for 1, neither worked. Also I can't find anything in table workunit in the database.

And then when I try to access the web page, the content hasn't changed at all.

I don't know whether because I failed to create the work so the web page content doesn't change (but it should be changed to error message,isn't ?) or I have to do something else to create the project?

I am totally new to this project creating thing. Appreciate any help from you. Thank you.

Hi,
when running the test project cplan with uppercase as the application, installation went ok. I am using boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu on SL450 as the client.

I am constantly getting the following message in the client msg tab...

...upperCASE requires 1.96 kbps download bandwidth. Your computer has been measured at 0.00 kbps.

Using netcap, there is no issue with bandwidth. Firewalls are off on C & S, I have also installed the client locally on the server, same message is received.

Has anyone come across this issue before? all help appreciated,

Peter
