I am trying to install boinc on headless debian 7.0 server but I keep getting following errors
dir_open: Could not open directory 'slots'. Can you please tell me how Can I fix it. At the moment boinc downloads the task but it doesn't process it. I installed boinc from debian repository. |

Did you get the errors from the Event Log? (ctrl-shift-E in the BOINC Manager)
The error points in the direction of missing directories (which is strange if you have a fresh installation) or a UID mismatch. Maybe there are remnants of a former BOINC installation? Could you run this in a terminal to begin with: id boinc grep boinc /etc/passwd ls -ld ~boinc ~boinc/slots ... and paste output here? Also, restart the BOINC Manager and paste the contents of the Event Log (before any downloads) here, or do: sed -n 1,/download/p ~boinc/stdoutdae.txt |

slots directory was missing but projects directory was there. I created slots directory in var/lib/boinc-client and chmod both projects and slots directory. Boinc is processing data at the moment. Hopefully it will return results properly..
