Do you have any firewall settings that might prevent you from downloading an exe file?

Hey gabranth99,

Thanks for the help! Marcus, let me know if this fixes your problem. I've been scouring logs on my end and I can't find any errors related to your host.

Please post here if it works and I'll make a separate news post about how to fix the problem.

Hey Marcus,

No it doesn't. They're all in the same directory on the server. I was able to download it on my machine. Maybe try pressing the reset project button and see if that fixes it?

Hi Marcus,

Can you give me some more information? Has this happened multiple times? What version of the BOINC client are you running? Any other information you can give me to help me troubleshoot? I am not able to reproduce the issue on my end so I need more information from you.

Best,

Jake

Hi Mad_Max,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad the site is running better for you. There were a lot of reasons we decided to upgrade, and the SLOW and laggy server was definitely one of them. We were running on 8 year old hardware and a pretty old version of the BOINC server. We are now almost caught up on BOINC server versions and running on brand new hardware. The only reason that we aren't running the newest BOINC server version is that is was released as I was building the new server software. Upgrading again in the future should be much easier now though.

Best,

Jake

Hey Tim,

That's strange, I don't see a similar issue on my machines. Can you give me a little more information about your issue? How long have you been unable to request work? What type of work do you want to request? How many times has your computer attempted to request work?

Bill,

Do they? Not sure who/what GauGAN is, sorry.


Best,

Jake

Yeah it's not the highest resolution banner so it will definitely look a little fuzzy on a large monitor. Not much I can do about that right now unfortunately. I'll have to find someone artistic to make us a newer banner at a higher resolution. (Might be a while though unfortunately.)

Do you guys think the banner looks better now? I tried making it a little smaller.

Hey Everyone,

I have implemented a fix for workunits not assigning credit. Hopefully all newly validated workunits will award credit properly. If you notice anywhere that this is not the case, please let me know.

As for the previously validated workunits which assigned zero credit, I am not sure there is a good way for me to assign credit for them. This would probably require me writing a script to actually alter your credit values based on the number of unrewarded returned results. I am pretty uncomfortable altering credit like this. Please use this thread to discuss and offer your input on this problem.

Thank you all for your patience.

Best,
Jake

I think I found the issue with the credit assignment. It seems that the newest BOINC server version no longer supports how we would set the credit per workunit. Should be a pretty easy fix, I am working on an implementation now.

It looks like they do on desktop too. Not sure how I missed that.

Hey Everyone,

Sorry about this. I am working to try to figure out what's causing the issue. I'll keep you in the loop as I work.

Hey Everyone,

I am working on the zero credit issue now. I don't have an estimated time for when it will be fixed yet, but I will try my best.

Sorry for the extended downtime yesterday, there were issues getting a firewall exception for the new server on the RPI network. Unfortunately, these issues were out of our control.

As for the banner, I know on some screens it does not look ideal. This is a lower priority issue, but I will try to come up with something that looks better soon.

Best,

Jake

Hey Everyone,

We are switched over to the new server. I am still working on a few kinks related to serving workunits, but the website seems mostly stable. I have only found one or two broken pages which I will work on fixing as the week progresses. My priority for the rest of today is getting workunits served.

Thanks for your patience.

Hey Everyone,

I am going to begin migrating accounts over to the new server. In order to do that, I am suspending new account creation until the new server is put up.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

There are still 170k workunits outstanding (on people's computers getting crunched.) Sorry if it wasn't clear, but this was what I was trying to minimize.

Hi VietOZ,

I hope so too! Believe me, this database stuff has been as frustrating to us here as it has been to you at home.

Hi Bill,

Yes, I am! We will be running the latest version of BOINC server. I am also updating to the newer version of the BOINC website so things will look a little bit different after the update too.

Jake
