Hi all,

im new guy here, installed BOINC and created an SETI@HOME account. how to connect this two things together? how to config BOINC on my server to use my fresh created account?

my debian server (old notebook) is debian Wheezy (7.8) , 1,7GHz CPU, 1GB RAM.

Could someone help me with setting up my server to connect to SETI using my credentials?

i didnt find anything how to setup some config or how to add some computer to my account and so.

Thanks for help.

ok, I get it workinng, but i cannot connect to the manager:

root@debian:~# boinccmd --join_acct_mgr http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ (what account?) (what password?)               
poll status: operation in progress
poll status: permanent HTTP error

pls what account should i use for join the account manager? or i dont need it when everything is working?

thanks for answers

Try using your account number found on your account page. I see it as 10106559 when I mouse over your screen name on the left. Then use the password you entered when you created the account you're posting with.

root@debian:~# boinccmd --join_acct_mgr http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ 10106559 XXXXXXX
poll status: operation in progress
poll status: operation in progress
poll status: permanent HTTP error

i got now 3 rows, but with same error

An account manager is an external page through which you can add multiple projects in one go. http://boincstats.com/en/bam/ and http://www.gridrepublic.org/ are account managers.

If you cannot use the add project wizard (BOINC Manager->Tools->Add project or account manager->Add project), then you can use the command line, but in this case you then need the following command: boinc --attach_project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ <your account key> (which can be found under View account keys in your account).

If you want to use the BOINCCMD tool, use boinccmd --project_attach http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ <account key>
Make sure that the BOINC binary is running before using the BOINCCMD tool. Or else you will get an error message.

--attach_project was successful, so i dont need to use join attach mgr?

i have two tasks assigned to my computer, as can i see in my account at SETI...

i see the CPU usage, but no changes on RAM usage or SWAP ussage
