sad Message from server: Invalid or missing account key.

So I registered a new account here at WCG and installed the BOINC client.

I connected to the WCG project and entered my username/password which were accepted, "You're successfully connected to the project"

However, I'm unable to get any tasks and receive this message in the Messages tab:

"Message from server: Invalid or missing account key. Visit this project's website to get an account key"

I read on the FAQ that if you see this message you need to detach and reattach to the project which I've done with no success.

I also tried installing the BOINC client on a 2nd computer with the same login and am having the same issues.

Is there an issue with the WCG servers?

Thanks,
E

Re: Message from server: Invalid or missing account key.

There's a file: account_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml

with a section

<account>
<master_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/</master_url>
<authenticator>123456acd57e5c375e678076e123e999</authenticator>
<project_name>World Community Grid</project_name>

Does the Authenticator code agree with the BOINC Account key in My Grid > My Profile of your new account?

In the BOINC data directory who's location is listed in the BOINC startup part of the message log.

Re: Message from server: Invalid or missing account key.

Try now. Our messaging system seems to be getting stuck periodically. There is a new fixpack available so we will try installing it soon to see if that will solve the problem.

Looks like it's working now on both computers for me.

Thanks!
