Hello altogether,
I would like to give you calculating power of one idle server but am not able to install it. Using manuals in the internet I was able to install BOINC and also World Community Grid, I also connected it correclty to my account but it does not calculate anything. It always says CPU 0 % when I type in "top" or "htop" If necessary I would also change the operating system from Debian 6 to Centos or Ubuntu but why does it not calculate? Or how should I install it? I think it would be really great to have an easy to understand step-by-step manual for running it on webservers directly on the WCG-website, like the ones for normal computers. Thank you very much for your help and best wishes, Christoph |

If you type: boinccmd --get_state | more
----------------------------------------Do you see yourself attached to a project url, a list of applications, a list of work units? Typing boinccmd by itself shows list of commands that may be useful.    |

The mistake I always make on Debian:
----------------------------------------If boinc is showing up in top and you did all of the above and it's showing attached to WCG but no Workunits then maybe Boinc is attached but missing some libraries and therefore can't download new Workunits: ./boinccmd --get_messages | more If you see something like this: Sat 28 Aug 2010 04:34:28 PM CEST World Community Grid work fetch resumed by user Sat 28 Aug 2010 04:34:29 PM CEST World Community Grid Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.

I had:
'No application found for task: i686-pc-linux-gnu 613 ; discarding' on my Ubu box, re-installing those libs did the job. |
