BOINC on Win2K behind a firewall -> can't communicate with WCG

Hi,

I experience the following issue when my PC's was connected to Internet behind a proxy which ask authentification.

BOINC agent is able to communicate with boincstat, seti@home but seams not be able to connect to WCG.

Content of the log :
12/01/2007 15:55:32|World Community Grid|[file_xfer] Started upload of file faah1186_d014n296_x2BPZ_00_2_0
12/01/2007 15:55:33||Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
12/01/2007 15:55:33|World Community Grid|[file_xfer] Temporarily failed upload of faah1186_d014n296_x2BPZ_00_2_0: http error
...
12/01/2007 15:55:35||Access to reference site succeeded - project servers may be temporarily down.

Proxy setting seams correct has I could exange with seti@home servers.

At home, everything's work fine (no proxy settings).

Does anyone have an idea ?

(same happen with last stable boinc version and alpha release).

Hello familyBrezillon,

did your problem get resolved? Work was being performed on the servers, thus intermittently u could have had upload/download issues.

cheers

Re: BOINC on Win2K behind a firewall -> can't communicate with WCG

Hello Sekerob,

The problem still persists.

For information, the UD agent works fine in the same configuration.

I read somewhere that the communication (from agent) with WCG was done in https.
Is there some additional configuration to do for using the proxy for https ?

C.U.

Re: BOINC on Win2K behind a firewall -> can't communicate with WCG

C.U.,

First step is to permit BOINC/BOINCmgr to communicate on ports 80(http) and 443(https) and internally on port 31416 (used by RPC protocol). Here are 2 links to some Firewall info: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewSearch.do?searchString=firewall
http://boinc-wiki.ath.cx/index.php?title=Firewall

Re: BOINC on Win2K behind a firewall -> can't communicate with WCG

Hello,

I can't manage the firewall ;)

But I don't think it's a firewall configuration issue as with UD agent it works fine.

Is there some configuration parameter's that I can change (in BOINC) to get some network log (more detailled than those in console of boinc) ?

Re: BOINC on Win2K behind a firewall -> can't communicate with WCG

CU, not sure what OS u r on, but guess from the command line comment its linux.... here are all the once available: BOINC Daemon - Command Line Interface - Command-Line Options

Edit: There is a little file that can be in the BOINC directory that will expand the detail that's being logged: cc_config.xml, but it's more designed for debug purposes. On windows GUI it filled up the message screen with reams of entries.

Re: BOINC on Win2K behind a firewall -> can't communicate with WCG

Hello Sekerob,

BOINC agent is running on Windows 2000.

I run the following command : boinccmd -h

usage: boinc_cmd [--host hostname] [--passwd passwd] command

Commands:
--get_state show entire state
--get_results show results
--get_file_transfers show file transfers
--get_project_status show status of all attached projects
--get_simple_gui_info show status of projects and active results
--get_disk_usage
--result url result_name {suspend | resume | abort | graphics_window | graphics
_fullscreen}
--project url {reset | detach | update | suspend | resume | nomorework | allowm
orework}
--project_attach url auth
--file_transfer url filename {retry | abort}
--set_run_mode {always | auto | never} duration
--set_network_mode {always | auto | never} duration
--get_proxy_settings
--set_proxy_settings
--get_messages seqno show messages > seqno
--get_host_info
--acct_mgr_rpc url name password
--run_benchmarks
--get_screensaver_mode
--set_screensaver_mode on|off blank_time {desktop window_station}
--get_project_config url
--get_project_config_poll
--lookup_account url email passwd
--lookup_account_poll
--create_account url email passwd name
--create_account_poll
--quit

It don't look like the wiki page you send me.


--version give :
boinc_cmd, built from BOINC 5.8.2

boinccmd --get_proxy_settings return nothing !!!!!

But the proxy settings were set with the GUI.
Do you have an idea of how to set proxy settings with the command line ?

CU

Re: BOINC on Win2K behind a firewall -> can't communicate with WCG

oops... the W2K lead is in the title... i'm so Windows GUI oriented, that i forget it can be done in there on command line too blushing

Did see these options in the referenced wiki page:

Environment Variables
HTTP_PROXY URL of HTTP proxy
HTTP_USER_NAME User name for proxy authentication
HTTP_USER_PASSWD Password for proxy authentication
SOCKS4_SERVER URL of SOCKS 4 server
SOCKS5_SERVER URL of SOCKS 5 server
SOCKS5_USER User name for SOCKS authentication
SOCKS5_PASSWD Password for SOCKS authentication

Have a go and let us know.... something to share with the members.

cheers

Re: BOINC on Win2K behind a firewall -> can't communicate with WCG

I have exactly the same problem since I switched to BOINC. Can't be the client, since I have no problem with climateprediction.net, but on the other hand I also had no problem with the UC client...

Edit: for testing purposes I just removed WCG from Boinc, readded it and still the same problem. I added the Rosetta project, no problem. Must be some strange combination of Boinc/proxy/Servers problem.

Re: BOINC on Win2K behind a firewall -> can't communicate with WCG

Since you are already using the 5.8.2 client, can you please upgrade to the 5.8.4 client and retry. If that fails then can you follow the directions on this page:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/client_msgs.php

And set at least the following flags:

<file_xfer_debug>
<http_debug>
<http_xfer_debug>

thanks,
Kevin
