Re: invalid key problem here too

Yes, indeed.

Now, I know this is an obvious question, but are you using the username and password you used to register on this site?

Password, not account key.

Re: invalid key problem here too

Also that.... and the spelling etc. is also correct. The server somehow identifies me, I guess, because it brings up an error message related to my account key (which I haven't used at all, so far).

Re: invalid key problem here too

Odd.

Think you could attach directly, using the command line and your account key? I can give detailed instructions if you need them.

Re: invalid key problem here too

Ok, I can try that. What do I need to do? I use the client on Win XP.

Re: invalid key problem here too

Open a command window (Start->Run... type cmd)

Navigate to the BOINC folder. (cd \progra~1\BOINC)

Use the BOINC command tool to send an attach command:

boinc_cmd --project_attach www.worldcommunitygrid.org accountkey

Re: invalid key problem here too

Also that doesn't work... the entry www.worldcommunitygrid.org at least appears in my project overview on the BOINC Commander, but disappears after 1 or 2 seconds.
I also tried it without having the commander running.

Re: invalid key problem here too

Sorry folks. When I set up the beta test for the fix to Genome Comparison problem I accidently change the permissions for a file so that it couldn't be read. This happened to be a important file that was needed to take what member updated (or created) on the website and put it into the BOINC database.

I have fixed this problem and confirmed that new members are now in the BOINC database. You should be able to connect correctly now.

Re: invalid key problem here too

I think it's not completely solved. I had the exact same problems as the original poster. When I try again now, I get the message "Server can't open database"

Re: invalid key problem here too

We may presently have some form of server outage... see 'validator' post.
