I recently downloaded BOINC 5.8.11 and am seeing something similar but different.

WCG doesn't like my security certificate. I can force it to go to the site anyway to sign onto the forum. However, an upload is being refused.

It may only be a problem with the WCG certificate. I uploaded and reported a couple of malariacontrol.net beta workunits on the same computer with no problem. I will see how it looks in the morning.

NEVER MIND

I think I see the problem. The BOINC change could have caused my date and time to go back to 2006. I have fixed that. My watch battery also died. Go figure.

For peace of mind, one can always get it from the BOINC servers too: ca-bundle.crt.

HTH

MikeE,

Really think the secret is in that ca-bundle.crt certificate mentioned in knreed's post a few up and getting the system date / time right.

ca-bundle.crt certificate you can also get from the link provided in the post by emenezes a few up too.

let us know and we'll drill further.

and no the SSL is for security reasons, WCG's and Yours!

Make sure to have port 443 open on outward traffic to the websites under IP 129.33.89.133 and 129.33.89.134

cheers

yay! thank you!
i'm probably way too happy about this -- the delirium is probably an effect of having been poking away at the config files for way way to long, thinking i would never get the thing to work.
but after hearing about the ca-bundle.crt, it all fell into place.
wee!

thank you thank you!
finally, the ancient computer i've rigged p as my fileserver can give something back to the community

Hello Firewielder,
More information would help. Apparently you have just installed BOINC on a new system. What OS? Where did you get the BOINC installation program? Is the system time correct?
