Thanks for the feedback, Christian. I'll look into those sources. |
| 2) Message boards : Questions and problems : plz point to application dev documentation
Message 75464 Posted 24 Jan 2017 by VThompson |
Hello, I'm trying to get a BOINC environment spun up for my university. The documentation I've found so far on creating our own applications is basically 'look at the applications included with the server and just go from there.' I'm afraid I'm going to need a little more help than that. Does anyone know of a good document on building your own applications? While I've been in computers for a couple decades, linux is not my forte' unfortunately. Thanks for any and all help! Vincent |
| 3) Message boards : Questions and problems : Trouble with update_versions
Message 71140 Posted 2 Aug 2016 by VThompson |
Looks like it was a name discrepancy. The .exe compiled itself as MultiThread.exe but the version.xml had the physical name as multi_thread So a mixture of missing case, underscores, and missing '.exe'. That explains a question I had about how the version.xml worked. Thanks for the help, Jord! |

I'm still very new to BOINC so please bear with me. I'm trying to get the multi_thread application to test properly in our environment to try and get a performance baseline. I got the multithread.exe compiled and moved back to my BOINC server. I placed the .exe file in apps/multi_thread/1.0/windows_intelx86 folder. I edited project.xml and added my new application in, and ran xadd successfully. when I ran update_version, it returned: File multi_thread is listed in version.xml but not present It did however copy the multithread.exe file to the project's download folder. The new application is showing on the management webpage, but no workunits appear to be being sent out. what did I miss? thanks for the help! |

Message 70179 Posted 14 Jun 2016 by VThompson |
Juha, thanks for the reply. The link you sent helps some. I have the folder structure as outlined now. However i guess my bigger question is - what's the easiest/best way to compile the multi_thread source files? I know I need the executable files in place before i run the update_versions command, so I haven't done that yet. Where's Make or the C++ compiler or proper procedure? thanks for the help |
| 7) Message boards : Server programs : multi_thread problem
Message 70162 Posted 13 Jun 2016 by VThompson |
Still being new to BOINC and able to get the example_app to work properly, I was going to remove example_app and activate the multi_thread app. initially the server engineer had some problems, so he ended up redoing a lot of my work which included getting example_app to work. So I may have missed a step in getting the application to function properly. So I have edited the project.xml and included the necessary lines for the multi_thread. I used appmgr to remove example_app. I created the folder structure under PROJECT/apps for multi_thread and a subfolder for version number. When i run xadd it sees the addition to the project.xml file, and when I run update_versions it seems to run fine. The problem is that when I look in /apps/example_app I see a generated folder for the windows platform and an .exe file. However nothing like that is generated in the /apps/multi_thread folder. I'm assuming I'm missing a step here, although all the docs i can find only talk about project.xml, xadd, and update_versions. Can someone tell me what I'm missing? Many thanks! |

ChristianB, you were right to start with, it was the scheduler that was the problem. got that worked out, and everything is running fine now. thanks for all the help! |

| 10) Message boards : Server programs : Server not assigning host IDs
Message 69758 Posted 26 May 2016 by VThompson |
I have a newly created server and have attached approximately 10 Win7 x64 machines to my test project. The clients show the project name properly in Manager so initially it looks like everything is fine, but the hostid in client_state is 0/zero on all the machines. Also on the projects admin webpage, the Hosts search of the database returns no results. I've attached some of the clients by hand, and some by command line with no difference. I don't think the database is totally corrupt as I have the example_app application added and it shows on the admin webpage. Anyone have any ideas? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Vincent |
| 11) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can BOINC work without PHP?
Message 67814 Posted 16 Feb 2016 by VThompson |
I'm looking at setting up BOINC for my university for research projects. However we have decided not to use any PHP on campus, because of it's security holes and high need for maintenance. (I'm not a server guy, so if you believe this is incorrect then let me know.) So I'm wondering if BOINC can be configured to use a different web server and mailer than PHP. Any thoughts? Thanks for the input. V Thompson |
