Hi Lazy, I already install BOINC to all clients, but now I am thinking about use BOINC on more project, not only WCG. For example climateprediction.net seems to me be very important too. But how can I set clients for use two or more projects?

Hi Lazy, I was thinking, if I copy account_climateprediction.net.xml into \\BOINC\PROGRAM FILES\BOINC\.. (same place as account_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml in MSI package location) - is it enough? I guess not (in MST must be some record about this file or NOT?).

Morning michalsx,
You're on the right lines. You can pretty much use the info in the very first post in this thread. The only thing that might have varied, is the last file number as it will vary depending on whether you have added the remote access files to the installation. Check the media table, add 1 to the figure shown, then fill in the file table with the info for the climatepredition xml file. It is something I've been looking at anyway, but I only crunch for WCG, so I was wondering how the other projects fitted in. (obviously I now know they use separate files and the <resource_share> tag). Regards Slug P.S. Sorry for being slow getting back - dead server at work.  |

Hi Lazy, thank you for help. I will save it for later, because I checked stats (http://www.boincsynergy.com/stats/index.php) and I desided stay only here because how you can see ClimatePrediction.Net has much more units than World Community Grid and I think this GRID need us more
 .I do not want to play than I am clever or something but I think that all project use similar XML file. Here is mine account_climateprediction.net.xml (I changed key and user ID  ):<account> <master_url>http://climateprediction.net/</master_url> <authenticator>aec492afa28ag40d0dfab02854f63</authenticator> <project_name>climateprediction.net</project_name> <host_venue>home</host_venue> <project_preferences> <resource_share>100</resource_share> <project_specific> <color_scheme>Tahiti Sunset</color_scheme> </project_specific> </project_preferences> <gui_urls> <gui_url> <name>Help</name> <description>Get help for climateprediction.net</description> <url>http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/quick_faq.php</url> </gui_url> <gui_url> <name>News</name> <description>climateprediction.net News</description> <url>http://climateprediction.net/newsb.php</url> </gui_url> <gui_url> <name>Your account</name> <description>View your account information, credits, and trickles</description> <url>http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/s...userid=452462</url> </gui_url> </gui_urls> </account> Take you time I am sorry for your server. I hope everything is fine by now . |

Here is mine account_climateprediction.net.xml Thanks michalsx - That has save me some time. I'll probably modify the script so that the World Community Grid XML is automatically created, and then allow additional XML project files to be added if a user wants too. Then adjustments can be made in the resources tag. Having said that, I did do this for the World Community Grid so I may not bother !!!!! I am creating a litlte website with instructions on using the script to make things a bit easier for anyone to use. Fortunately, I've got a bit of time to finish it now. (Can't wait for my new server to arrive next week - 2 X Dual core Xeon processors, 4GB RAM - Lets see how much that baby can crunch  )Regards Slug |

Hi Slug,
The Unofficial WCG site at http://www.unofficialworldcommunitygrid.com/index.shtml already hosts several pages of different types of procedures. Why not be lazy and let them host your script? Lawrence |

Hi Slug, The Unofficial WCG site at http://www.unofficialworldcommunitygrid.com/index.shtml already hosts several pages of different types of procedures. Why not be lazy and let them host your script? Lawrence That was my initial thought, but the script will probably need some maintainance over time as BOINC developes and therefore the msi package changes. Although I might be lazy, I don't mind taking my feet off the desk if it is in a good cause. (Plus I need a bit of practice with HTML!) Slug |

Hi Slug, it is me again
Just a few questions. Can I use your script for new version of BOINC (5.4.9)? Is your script independent on version of BOINC? Are you planing reinstall all clients by new version? I'am not sure, if it is good idea  . |
