JesseS,

I'm a bit stumped on this one. The statement "system fopen" indicates that the BOINC client was unable to create the file on your local filesystem.

The client will be trying to create this file in the following location

$BOINCDIR/projects/www.worldcommunitygrid.org

where I believe in your case $BOINCDIR = /home/boinc

Check to see if there is some reason that the user that BOINC is running under is able to write to that directory and create a new file.

ok, well, I am making progress... Boinc is working now... It has successfully submitted one result... however, it is not working through the RC script... when I do a "ps -fe | grep rosetta" it is not running... I am still using the same init script, which I started manually with "/etc/init.d/boinc start"

thanks for all your assistance so far. it is probably something else stupid, I just don't know where to look.

ps -fe does the same thing as top, ps just gives me an output that I can parse nicely with grep. but no, when I run it from init, rosetta is not running. Boinc is running however.
