	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 (41 880 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/ ____________ - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)

	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 (43 344 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. ____________ - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)

	There was an XML error in the list. Should be OK now. ____________ BOINC WIKI

	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 ____________ - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)
