I have just started using BOINC on a couple of machines. Everything seemed to be going decently well until I woke up this morning and realized my server wasn't doing anything. I tail the log and I see a problem. Then I noticed both of my gentoo boxes had this problem - running client version 5.2.14. The slower ubuntu machine was still going - running 5.2.13.
----------------------------------------Here is the log (which has been repeated every ten minutes for a while now): 2006-04-18 10:31:34 [World Community Grid] Sending scheduler request to https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/wcg_cgi/fcgi Is it my version or something else? I'd like to get this working again. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Apr 18, 2006 2:38:51 PM] |

Chances are it was a transient network problem. Retry.
Using BOINC Manager, select project, click "update". Using the command tool: boinc_cmd --project worldcommunitygrid.org update |

Using the command tool: boinc_cmd --project worldcommunitygrid.org update Boinc has not fixed itself and using that command, in the boic directory fails: vanir boinc # boinc_cmd --project worldcommunitygrid.org update Other boinc_cmd commands do work though. |

The error code means "inconsistent client state". If restarting BOINC and/or rebooting don't help, then reinstalling is your only option.
I suspect you have some file corruption. Things to do: run a disk scan, and also check the stderr log file, and tell us about anything unusual. To have a problem like this occur on two machines at once is very unusual, so hopefully the techs will get involved and see if there was a common cause. |

There is no officially released 5.2.14 version of BOINC. I know that there is a slightly different version that people can get on their gentoo boxes but I don't know what they changed. We get occasional reports of problems with the gentoo version that are resolved by getting the official Berkeley build. I would recommend that you download the official build from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php |

Yes I had actually tried to reinstall 5.2.14 and I ran into the same errors again! But I had JUST gotten the official version, thrown it all in the same directory, and it reported my previously computed results and started a new set! At least this time I didn't lose a day of work. So if others see this do not delete your boinc directory, just get the official client and run it from the same place.

Yes, even the Windows version can survive an uninstall and reinstall without touching the in-progress stuff. I'm not sure this is a good thing. When I uninstall something, I expect it to take all traces with it.
