Hi folks,
I'm having a little problem and I'm sure, this is no problem to you experts to solve. I had to exchange my motherboard, since my old one broke down completely and so had to set my windows system up from scratch. I'm experiencing some trouble with my actual settings of the BOINC client (this new system produces errors in nearly every WU). Since I can access the whole hard disk of the old system I would like to copy the settings of the BOINC client that ran on my "old" system. Has anyone of you an idea, where I can find this file and what its name is? Thanks a lot in advance! Greetings, SeppelD |

I believe it depends on your versions of Windows...
----------------------------------------Mine (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) has the self-created cc_config.xml file, along with other config files, within C:\ProgramData\BOINC\ The following page also gives you lots of info on what can be configured within the cc_config.xml file and others: (link) However, even with a base install without anything special configured, I wouldn't expect a system to produce errors in the majority of work-units. If copying the config files across doesn't help, pop a copy of the detailed errors in here...  |

...it would also help if you posted the first 30 or so lines of the event/message log following start-up of Boinc

Hey guys,
just wanted to thank you for your ideas. I had a longer look at the results of the last work units being finished. It is pretty interesting, that the first dozen errored out. All the following ones are okay by now. Maybe a bad series of WUs? I don't know, but at the moment everything is fine. Thank you once more! Greetings SeppelD |

.....if you were doing CEP it could have been related to this -
We are aware of the increase in work units failing for CEP2 and are working with the Harvard team to resolve the issue. The problem is that some work units cause a fatal error in the Q-Chem code. Ideally these work units work units would be identified ahead of time, but if that proves impossible we will make sure this is handled on the validation side. Until a more permanent solution can be found, work units that experience this problem are manually being given credit. |
