Upgraded BOINC this weekend to 5.8.16 and ever since I'e been getting the following error whenever SETI updates...

Does anyone have an idea on how to check what the URL is set for and how to change it without detaching... I'd rather not detach if I dont have too...

Thanks

Doing my small part for scientific research

Do you remember what you typed in the box when you attached?

Chances are that you typed in the wrong URL, otherwise you wouldn't be getting that message.

There is an account_URL.xml file in your BOINC directory. The URL is what was used.

It is possible to change without a detach and a re-attach. However, it is a bit on the risky side, if you miss anything, it is possible that you will lose all work from all projects.

Change all file names and directory names that have the wrong URL in them to be the correct URL. Note that the form is slightly different than the URL in some cases because of different legal characters.

Chnage all references within all files in the BOINC directory from the wrong URL to the correct URL.
