Re: BOINC clients stopped reporting!
thinking idea

This vision of having a table where the 5.10.45 and 6.2.28 files are supposed to be has occurred to me several times, to include a column for those that did a manual split of the data-dir on versions prior to 6. Of course, for Linux and more so for Mac that's not exactly easy to determine me thinketh.

Just for the core BOINC and main WCG specific files.

Re: BOINC clients stopped reporting!
Yes that is where it is. You can see in the log it notes the log flags being set (in bold), right?

Re: BOINC clients stopped reporting!
No, those are the default log flags - they are not the flags that you set in the cc_config.xml file.

Double-check the file location, make sure it has suitable permissions, and try loading it again.

Sadly, reloading it generates no message - so restarting BOINC is the only way to confirm it worked.

Re: BOINC clients stopped reporting!
Here's a thought - you installed the WCG version of BOINC, which comes with a cc_config.xml file by default.

You probably saw the file and assumed all was well.

Edit it to add the new (debug) log flags.

Re: BOINC clients stopped reporting!
That was it - there was a default config file in Program Data. So I copied mine in.
This is what the config file looks like in ProgramData/BOINC:

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<file_xfer_debug>1</file_xfer_debug>
<http_debug>1</http_debug>
<http_xfer_debug>1</http_xfer_debug>
<proxy_debug>1</proxy_debug>
</log_flags>
<options>
<force_auth>ntlm</force_auth>
</options>
</cc_config>

But this is the log file, and it looks like it's the default still? I exited the program in the system tray, and re-started it. It tried to connect to a project and failed again:

Re: BOINC clients stopped reporting!
Exiting and restarting BOINC Manager doesn't do anything. It most certainly doesn't reload cc_config.xml.

If you want to restart BOINC entirely, use services.msc

Yes, BOINC is not exactly.... obvious.

Re: BOINC clients stopped reporting!
await,
After changing the cc_config.xml file you do not need to restart Boinc to get it used immediately, you only have to go to the Advanced view of BoincMgr and select Advanced->Read config file.

Cheers. Jean.

Re: BOINC clients stopped reporting!
OK, I got it now - I restarted the service before I read how I could just re-read the config file.

Anyway, progress - here is the log file:

Re: BOINC clients stopped reporting!
This is a new error for WCG. It has never been reported before.

I did a little reading, and I have a couple of starter questions: do you use Cyber Patrol, or any other parental control software? Do you use any other security software you haven't mentioned?

Re: BOINC clients stopped reporting!
I do use Cyber Patrol, but it's closed on this computer since I started having problems. Windows Firewall is also off, but Windows Defender is on. This is a Vista x32 box. Nothing else on this machine...
