scheduler request failed: fopen() failed
I am unable to reach the WCG scheduler and therefore initiate any task.

The project is properly attached though.

Thank you

Linux... likely insufficient permissions set on the Data directory: /var/lib/boinc-client and sub structure. Since there are quite a few ways install and package sources, where you get 7.6.31 and how'd you install?

Re: scheduler request to https://scheduler.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/wc g_cgi/fcgi failed: fopen() failed
I confirm that it was a question of permission. I ran 
chmod a+rwx -R /var/lib/boinc-client
and it now work perfectly.

I have installed boinc logged as non root user. I have changed <user>root</users> but I am not sure whether it was important for running BOINC as root.

Thank you so much

So you are now running BOINC as a service on your system. Good.
However, permission 'a+rwx' is not a good idea. It's a pity to say, but - in some way - it says here that you haven't learned about proper permissions, while they exist for a reason (system security). May I lend you a hand of advice?

As superuser (root), go to directory ~boinc (/var/lib/boinc-client in your case):
    cd ~boinc

First, change all files and directories to user and group 'boinc':
    chown -R boinc:boinc ~boinc

Then remove the write permission for 'others' from all files and directories:
    chmod -R o-w ~boinc

This should be way better than 'a+rwx' now that you're up and running. Good luck! smile

Looking at the kernel info in the posted log, it appears as if this is a *buntu distro. Your best bet on a solid install is with the Debian maintainer kits as build by Gianfranco Costamagna, the ppa at https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/boinc which are meta packages to take care of everything, to include not overwriting your cc_config.xml if you customized one and putting the few user editable files in their own nook (/etc/boinc-client)

Runs as daemon (service), but then I've not ever seen BOINC being installed and running securely on Linux in any other fashion.
