Pretty please, do *not* mix up cc_config.xml which is a BOINC global configuration file, with app_config.xml which is a project specific configuration file [and latter going in the project folder i.e. in ..\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org] I was just exampling that there's a menu function in the BM to read in any changes to cc_config.xml. A similar menu option [or a combination] has been requested for the new app_config.xml, that is, if the changes take effect immediately when doing so. If not, then a restart of client continues to be required. When it comes we test if it does and then really have an on-the-fly way to alter what we crunch in what mix at WCG.

Hi, sorry if I'm confusing things a little (I'm a bit of a noob with regards altering Boinc), just needed to know if the CC_Config stay as is or if I need to remove it before putting the App_Config file in place and restarting Boinc (didn't know if Boinc would get confused with the 2 and crash out?).

Cheers.

Keeping on removing cc_config should not influence correct function(s) of app_config (I am running 7.0.42 with both cc_config and app_config on my W7 64 w/o problems)

Cheers

Edit to add (if this is important ): I have made clear install of 7.0.42 and then have created cc_config later

If they used to be valid w/o app_config, based on my experiences, there is one reason why they would error out: if the run-time exceed 1.5 h

Do we have a thread that shows how to set up cc_config and app_config for .42?

Since this seems stable and we're going to move to it anyway, it might be good to become familiar with it sooner rather than later.

If not, could someone post some examples? thanks.
