So, in Windows and Ubuntu (pc version) the app_config file goes in the .../projects/projectname folder I tried that in Ubuntu server and it's not recongising it????

Here's how I created the file

in terminal
CD .../projects/projectname (wcg in this case)
sudo nano app_config.xml
Password

Enter the following text:

<app_config>
<app>
<name>cep2</name>
<max_concurrent>12</max_concurrent>
<cpu_versions>
<cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage>
</cpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

Ctrl+o to save

Then added another file for the Malariacontrol project

<app_config>
<app>
<name>openMalariaA</name>
<max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent>
<cpu_versions>
<cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage>
</cpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

Ctrl+o to save

Clicked the 'read config file' in the Advance menu and checked the log, the cc_config file is reread but no reference to the app_config file? Tried on 2 machines, neither worked!

Boinc on the server is 7.0.27 - Is this the problem?

There is another version in the Ubuntu software repository - 7.0.65 (preicse-backports)

Will this help?

Your advice and guidance is much appreciated as always!
