Re: cant connect to world community grid server

hi picklew,

You have connection problems, but the root cause is clearly printed in the message log.

snip:

7/18/2010 3:14:08 PM||Can't rename current state file to previous state file; Access is denied. (0x5)
7/18/2010 3:14:21 PM||Can't rename state file; Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (0xb7)
7/18/2010 3:14:21 PM||Couldn't write state file
7/18/2010 3:14:21 PM||Make sure directory permissions are set correctly

Suggest you open up the browser, navigate to

7/18/2010 3:13:56 PM||Data directory: C:\ProgramData\BOINC

and see who can read / write.

Did you do anything to the system securities or the BOINC installation?... come on, we don't bite ;>)

edit: highlighted the action advised by client!

Good. If you please edit the opening post title and copy the title from my post to yours, all know what the solution was... for those after you. :D

Happy Crunching.
