My Linux RedHat 9.0 server is behind a firewall. I have to use an http proxy to get to the internet. On the boxes where I have installed seti, I have configured Seti (Windows, cmd-line, SetiDriver, and Unix) to use this same proxy server. On Linux, I have Mozilla set to use it (I'm using it now). I have set http_proxy=http://proxy.xxxx.com:88/ which makes lynx happy on other machines (although I don't have it installed here to test). Boinc won't connect. 2004-06-23 14:47:03 [http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/] Master file fetch failed BOINC couldn't get main page for http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/. Please check the URL and try again. What do I need to do? |

Try adding the following to your client_state.xml file ...deleted... EDIT - well here we go with the "can't post html" stuff again. Go to the faq at http://homepage.mac.com/pauldbuck/site-boinc/faq/run-lin.html and you'll see the lines you need to add. [url=http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&userid=24497] |

It says: (I have substituted with ( and ) ) (use_http_proxy/) (proxy_server_name);your.ip.address.here(/proxy_server_name) (proxy_server_port)yourproxyport(/proxy_server_port) It doesn't say if the position is important (i.e in the client file) Shouldn't a start tag be: (use_http_proxy) rather than (use_http_proxy/)? What about the existing proxy section? Should it not be used? |

No. You need always a start and an end-tag, but you can use (use_http_proxy/) instead of (use_http_proxy)(/use_http_proxy) it is the same. (use_http_proxy/) > What about the existing proxy section? Should it not be used? Yes, you have to use the existing proxy section. If I remember right - in my conf-file only the line (use_http_proxy/) was missing. |

Hi, I think the FAQ is little bit missleading / not precise enough. Here's section of XML which worked eventually for me: ---snip--- (proxy_info) (use_http_proxy/) (socks_version)5(/socks_version) (socks_server_name)(/socks_server_name) (socks_server_port)80(/socks_server_port) (http_server_name)YOUR PROXY SERVER(/http_server_name) (http_server_port)8080(/http_server_port) (socks5_user_name)(/socks5_user_name) (socks5_user_passwd)(/socks5_user_passwd) (http_user_name)(/http_user_name) (http_user_passwd)(/http_user_passwd) (/proxy_info) ---snip--- Replace the parenthesis with less-than / greater-than... Hope that helps others! Tom |

You can email him from a link on his faq page - http://homepage.mac.com/pauldbuck/ - the email link is near the bottom of this page. |

I will add this as an alternate until we can confirm if all of the values are needed, or which for which version of linux... Don't hesitate to e-mail me with a note ... especially the hard earned lessons... [edit] more text added as: If that does not work, you can try the following: 5 80 YOUR PROXY SERVER 8080 You also may have to use different values for those numbers indicated in bold, additionally, you may need to specify additional values for the other lines.
