Message 30722 - Posted: 28 Sep 2004, 3:53:09 UTC

I accidently restarted the linux client with command line option "-attach_project".
After escaping with CTRL-C and starting over,
the client repeatedly tries to connect to a project with an empty url.

I tried to remove the empty project from client_state*.xml", but that didn't help.

Any suggestions how to get rid of this?

"-detach_project" without parameters doesn't work...

Regards Hans

Just a guess here, but do you have an account_.xml file? If so, kill BOINC, delete the account_.xml file and then delete the associated section in client_state.xml. That should put things right.

Good guess :)

But no, there's no "account_.xml" anywhere.

I had saved some account creation html pages to the
boinc folder though, and their file names started with "account_"

After moving these away, the problem disappeared :)

Thanks, Hans
