Hello
I had to delete Boinc 4.09 as it went funny and I could not open it"socket error" so i deleted it and downloaded it again.It is asking for project url and my id.I have my id but do not know where to get the project url from.I looked through this site and cannot see it listed.Please can you tell me where to find the project url?Is the seti@home 2 sending out new wu's as yet either?Please help
Thanks

Rache.

I ran in to the same problem a while ago Rachel, try :

http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu

And then you'll probably be lucky enough to attach and get the usual "no schedulers responded" error. or "no work available".

Thanks it worked.Yep I am now getting the usual message"no work available" and no response etc,lol.So I guess most people have ran out or are about to run out of work then.I am now running seti 1.

What is the best thing to do?Just leave Boinc trying to connect and let it do it's thing or shut it down ?I am currently leaving Boinc trying to get work and running seti 1 too.

That's what I do (well sort of, I have most of my machines crunching for other projects now) but I'm also impatient so I like to do a manual update every now and then instead of waiting for the clock on Boinc to run out for the next automatic update.

At least the webpages are loading a tiny bit faster right now.

Just got 21 wu's downloaded ;-)

You're such a pig. ;)

I haven't been able to get any.

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu is the official master URL. There are other URLs that may work temporarily but may stop at any time. Using one of these other URLs is not adviseable.

Hello
I changed it today to the proper thing and it worked ok

Thanks

Rach

... is the URL for SETI@Home "Classic".

> > > http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu

... is the URL for SETI@Home "BOINC". @Rachel, you need to use the URL above this line for BOINC, whether v4.05 or v4.09.

The URL of this project is http://setiathome.berkeley.edu. If you joined using a different URL, please detach and attach to this URL.

old SETI@home URL: http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah old

new SETI@home URL: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu

In windows check the director Boinc\projects\ you should see setiathome.berkeley.edu

I stand corrected, I think. When BOINC connects to Berkeley, the message states that it is connecting to http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ . Here's a thought.... Did the supposed URL change take place when they came out with v4.09? I'm still running v4.05, by choice.

And, one other thing.... No offense intended, but if you're going to quote my words then quote them as I have typed them. Don't change my words or any part thereof. Thanks....

EDIT: I joined in mid July and upgrade from v3.2 to v4.05 when the need arose. Another thought.... If the message in BOINC states the URL as http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ and the URL has indeed changed, then they neglected to change the text string in BOINC code.

The master URL must manually be typed in, and can't be auto-changed. The change to using the "classic" web-page as master URL happened a couple of hours after this project going "officially active".
The scheduling-server on the other hand can change, and did some time ago, and even the seti-BOINC-web-page has changed address.
BTW, there's no problem to use or don't use the .ssl-part, since it's just 2 names for the same machines. ;)

Well, I didn't change any of your words, and it should also be clear that part is quoted and that is new input... :)

Not sure if this helps but I joined Boinc on August 2nd and my new account confirmation email shows:
SETI@home URL: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu

We were still using v3.x at that time and I have always used that url with the software upgrades. Using v4.09 currently and the sched_request.xml shows the following url's for master url, scheduler url and upload url:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/
http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi
http://setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/file_upload_handler

Of course, it is the master url plus the account ID that should be typed when Boinc is first installed and attached to the Seti Project.

The scheduler URL is actually embedded into the index web page of the project.

The BOINC Work Manager uses the supplied URL to find the Index page, then parses the index page for the current URL for the scheduler. This scheme allows for the movement of the scheduler with no impact on the participants. If you want to see it, use "show source" when you have loaded the index page for the project ...

It is an XML type tag in a comment so that it is not parsed and displayed ...

For SETI@ Home the current version looks like:

<!--
<scheduler>http://setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi</scheduler>
-->
