Issues for New Users

Now that work is flowing from the new servers I though I should start a new thread for issues that are specific to new users.

For other new users, if you have connected to https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ and immediately get a URL change message DONT PANIC, it is a known bug that can be ignored.
_____________________________________
My first issue is that I receive an error when initializing the project:
Message Log
  • Master file download succeeded
  • Sending scheduler request: Project initialization.
  • Requesting new tasks for CPU and NVIDIA GPU and Intel GPU
  • Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
  • This project seems to have changed its URL. When convenient, remove the project, then add https://master.worldcommunitygrid.org/ (ignore the URL change bug)
  • Invalid or missing account key. To fix, remove and add this project .

  • I am new to the project and haven't ever had a work unit.
  • I created an account on the WCG website before attempting to connect with BOINC.
  • Detaching and adding the project a second time didn't help.
  • I have checked the account_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml file and confirmed that the content of the <authenticator> tag matches my account key as shown on the project web page https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/viewMyProfile.do.
I write this post as information for the software team but please let me know if there is a work-around for this issue.

Keep in mind that WCG is still only testing the system and only releasing a few WUs at a time.
