41) Message boards : Questions and problems : 'BONIC Unable to connect to Core Client' (Message 28036) Posted 16 Oct 2009 by johnfairweather Post: Thanks. So is the problem being looked at by the BOINC administrators, as Cosmology@home is causing the problem? I suppose I could do what Werner did, by removing Cosmology@home.

Perhaps I ought to say that 'Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 (KB970892)' did not install correctly, even from the below link - it failed at the end. Previous versions have installed OK, the last being in January. As requested, the Nortons versions I have are Nortons Antivirus (V16.7.2.11) and Nortons Systemworks (V12.0.1 Build 1). I tried removing BOINC and after removing BONIC, via. 'Add/Remove Programmes', I re-installed it - V6.6.38, which is the version I now use. I then went into the BONIC folder and clicked on 'BONICMGR.EXE', which opened up the GUI and which displayed 'Retrieving Current Status'. I then clicked on 'BONIC.EXE'. Initially, it opened up a blank Command Prompt window, which then closed. Repeating this, a number of commands flashed on the Window, which then closed, but nothing was displayed in the GUI. During the displaying of the commands, it open up the BONIC Debugger (V6.6.38), as it said an 'Unhandler Exception Detected' was detected. I then opened up a blank CMD window and located the BOINC directory. I then ran 'BOINC.EXE' with the Command 'BOINC.EXE > B.txt', but only part of the output was displayed - as follows. (Not too sure how I can display all of the output.) =============================================================================== 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Starting BOINC client version 6.6.38 for windows_intelx86 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] log flags: task, file_xfer, sched_ops 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Libraries: libcurl/7.19.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8k zlib/1.2.3 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Data directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Running under account John 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Processor: 2 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 4300 @ 1.80GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 2] 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Processor features: fpu tsc pae nx sse sse2 mmx 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] OS: Microsoft Windows XP: Home x86 Edition, Service Pack 3, (05.01.2600.00) 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Memory: 1.99 GB physical, 5.26 GB virtual 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Disk: 232.88 GB total, 194.07 GB free 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Local time is UTC +1 hours 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] No CUDA-capable NVIDIA GPUs found 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] No coprocessors 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Not using a proxy 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [rosetta@home] URL: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/; Computer ID: 891028; location: (none); project prefs: default 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [climateprediction.net] URL: http://climateprediction.net/; Computer ID: 904187; location: (none); project prefs: default 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [Einstein@Home] URL: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/; Computer ID: 1598866; location: (none); project prefs: default 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [lhcathome] URL: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/; Computer ID: 9713664; location: (none); project prefs: default 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [Milkyway@home] URL: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/; Computer ID: 27814; location: (none); project prefs: default 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [orbit@home] URL: http://orbit.psi.edu/oah/; Computer ID: 10522; location: (none); project prefs: default 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [SETI@home] URL: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/; Computer ID: 4271822; location: (none); project prefs: default 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [Cosmology@Home] URL: http://www.cosmologyathome.org/; Computer ID: 30621; location: (none); project prefs: default 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [climateprediction.net] General prefs: from climateprediction.net (last modified 07-Sep-2008 17:12:41) 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [climateprediction.net] Host location: none 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [climateprediction.net] General prefs: using your defaults 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Reading preferences override file 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Preferences limit memory usage when active to 1018.75MB 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Preferences limit memory usage when idle to 1833.75MB 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Preferences limit disk usage to 50.00GB 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Running CPU benchmarks 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [---] Suspending computation - running CPU benchmarks 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [Cosmology@Home] [error] File params_092809_220555_2.ini has wrong size: expected 1911, got 0 15-Oct-2009 16:29:37 [Cosmology@Home] Started download of params_092809_220555_2.ini 15-Oct-2009 16:29:39 [Cosmology@Home] Giving up on download of params_092809_220555_2.ini: file not found Unhandled Exception Detected... - Unhandled Exception Record - Reason: Access Violation (0xc0000005) at address 0x004350ED read attempt to address 0x00001CFO Engaging BOINC Windows Runtime Debugger... ===============================================================================

Currently two processes are running under Processes in Windows Task Manager (WTM) - boincmgr.exe, boinctray.exe and BOINC Manager is running in Applications, under WTM.

As for the "BOINC unable to connect to core client" message: Is the client running? Check if boinc.exe is running under Task Manager. Yes, is running. Is port 31416 allowed through your firewall? Please advise how I check & find this Port.
45) Message boards : Questions and problems : 'BONIC Unable to connect to Core Client' (Message 28013) Posted 14 Oct 2009 by johnfairweather Post: I'm currently getting this message - 'BONIC Unable to connect to Core Client'. Would this have any connection to the fact that when I was running 'Windows Microsoft Update', the following update failed - 'Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 (KB970892)' Have you any ideas how I can re-install this update, or remove it from 'Add/Remove Programs', as I can't see it there?
