Scheduler request failed: HTTP file not found

Your BOINC client will now start seeing this message as we transition from having our schedulers located at https://grid.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/wcg_cgi/fcgi to having them located at https://scheduler.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/wcg_cgi/fcgi

Unfortunately, there is no way to do this 'gracefully'. Instead your client will attempt 10-15 times to connect to the old scheduler before contacting the main website page in order to find out the current location of the scheduler. Once that happens, it will resume communicating properly. This will all happen automatically if left alone.

If you wish to complete this process faster on your machine, then please go to the 'Advanced View' of the software, then go to the 'Projects' tab, Select 'World Community Grid' and click on the 'Update' button. If you do this repeatedly (10-15 times) it will eventually fetch the new location.

If you are more technically inclined, then you can stop the BOINC client, edit the client_state.xml and find the line that says:

<scheduler_url>https://grid.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/wcg_cgi/fcgi</scheduler_url>

and replace it with

<scheduler_url>https://scheduler.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/wcg_cgi/fcgi</scheduler_url>


Save the file and then start your the BOINC client again. You should now be able to connect successfully.
