I am not seeing seti@home showing in the BOINC "add project" list. Only 3 of 8 computers have it in the list, the other 5 don't. Why would this be happening? Why would seti@home not show up in the add projects list? Thus, only 3 of my computers are crunching for seti@home. :( |

In addition, two of the computers crash when I try adding a new project. The radio button is selected for Add project, upon pressing the "next" button BOINC disappears. I should probably write to BOINC but the above issue is still seti@home specific. |

It is my understanding that some versions of BOINC have the projects list randomly sorted (so as to not play favorites by putting any one project above the others purposefully). I'll bet SETI@Home is in the list, just not in the same place you see on the others. |

Check the file all_projects_list.xml in BOINC data dir, it may be corrupted. My have size 40.8 KB (41Â 880 bytes) If you check inside you have to see all projects, among them: <project> <name>SETI@home</name> <url>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/</url> You can also paste manually the URL in Add project dialog: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

I also did not have the project in the list, but typing the url manually in the add project window below (in the simple view) did the job. |

This is the link BOINC uses/loads and then saves to all_projects_list.xml http://boinc.berkeley.edu/project_list.php (the link is found/visible inside boinc.exe) Open the link 2 times in 2 tabs - the list of projects is the same (I saved to 2 files and get the same length - 42.3 KB (43Â 344 bytes)) but the order of projects is different/random. I don't know how often BOINC refreshes this file (my looks OK, dated 13.10.2012, use BOINC 6.10.58) Since several people reported problems to add projects - maybe project_list.php was broken for some time or BOINC 7.x can't read/save it properly? For all affected: * Check the file all_projects_list.xml in BOINC data dir, it may be corrupted. Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

I opened the link again and (unlike before) now there are many Warnings like this: Warning: touch(): Utime failed: Permission denied in /mydisks/b/users/boincadm/boinc/doc/get_platforms.inc on line 188 Warning: file_put_contents(/home/boincadm/boinc/doc/platforms/http%3A%2F%2Fboinc.bakerlab.org%2Frosetta%2F): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /mydisks/b/users/boincadm/boinc/doc/get_platforms.inc on line 185 Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |
