You don't need httpd to run the BOINC client. It doesn't need any
incoming firewall ports open either. I think this thread got
sidetracked somewhere, I don't believe the OP wants to run a
BOINC project server.
You are right. I don't want to run a server. I just want to get the
boinc applications (boinc-clent and boincmgr) that I downloaded (yumed)
from the Fedora 9 repo up and running. And, I want to keep it running
after I re-boot.
My problem is I keep getting this error message from bonicmgr: "BOINC is
unable to communicate with a project and needs an Internet connection.
"Please connect to the Internet, then select the 'retry communications'
item off the advanced menu."
I am connected to the internet. I have selected the 'retry
communications item off the advanced menu. I always get: "Sat 28 Jun
2008 09:39:50 AM EDT|World Community Grid|Sending scheduler request:
Requested by user. Requesting 2 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed
tasks" and "Sat 28 Jun 2008 09:39:55 AM EDT|World Community Grid|
Scheduler request failed: Couldn't resolve host name"
I never had this problem when I installed in F8 from the boinc site rpm.
Boinc works in F9 immediately after a new install.
By the way, time wasn't wasted last night. I did delve into learning
about matters I should have dealt with before.
But... Any suggestions on how I get my boinc working.
