I am running one now with BOINC as a non-service, but if anyone finds that they can run with BOINC installed as a service, I could add another machine.

Boinc 7.0.36 can run all CPDN tasks as a service. Latter versions of Boinc are buggy!!, they CAN run: Hadam3p-EU, Hadam3p-ANZ, CAN'T run: Hadam3p-PNW, HadCM3-shot.

I downgraded Boinc to 7.0.36 and now it�s working. Thanks!

Good to know that You know about it! Now the question is, when can we get it fixed? (Also: why no info on 'News & Announcements', "Service-install doesn't work with xxx, sorry, will fix it!")

I have a Windows machine with Boinc installed as a service, because vast majority of time it is a headless machine. I remember reading somewhere, but can't remember where, that some Boinc or CPDN versions are bugy regarding service installation, yet still unfixed. My Boinc service-installation machine can crunch HadAM3P -EU and -ANZ just fine, but not -PNW or HadCM3-Short.

My other non-service installation machine can run everything.

Exactly as has always been told here, the credits will be awarded as soon as the tasks are processed by the server.

The real problem is the "real time protection", or how ever your AV program calls it. Anyway, that's the 24/7 scanning module that is always awake. 99.99% doing exactly what we all ask it to do!!

Please, find internet help, how to disable Boinc folder Antivirus!

I confirm. The last trickles are from March 4.

Thank you, Les Bayliss! (Oh, and sorry about my drunken message in Number Crunching forum). How could I forget about stupid *antivirus-scanner*! I feel idiotic right now. But my new host is crunching happily!!

No more infinite restarts after 5-15 second.

My other, OLD i7 machine, gets a full load of WUs. So WCG is only discriminating against my new machine. Even though the "USER" is well establised.

I came back after about 6 month break, but I think I have been following most major news.

The resouce share between CPDN&WCG is 1000:100 so I would expect more than 1 WU after this morning.

I just added a new machine�

And what a warm welcome do I get?
We give you exactly 1 WU!
After several hours, nothing more.
Hope you take care of it!
If I were a new cruncher, I might give up already.

But I�m not a newbie, and it�s all for science, etc.., so I�ll endure.

As the original poster, it is really disappointing for me to see that this thread is still at the top of the message board.

�The people providing spare computer time are much like lab technicians - they don't decide what gets done or when; they just arrange the required equipment and then get out of the way.�
If that�s what you want? Let me get out of the way! We�ve been doing just that for the past several months.

I ran some cpdn-models back in 2004, before Boinc, but those credits never migrated to Boinc-credits system. Been regular cruncher since 2008. I have seen long outages and interruptions, but this has been by far the longest!

Boinc is about community! Many projects have understood that, you have not. We need project scientists; and we need volunteers, donating their computing resources. As human beings, we need interaction. If the project completely ignores interaction (lack of credit updates), you will lose your volunteers.

Post:
I would understand the lack of credit updates if it was due to lack of staff/resources/whatever and there were no credit updates. But, because the credit updates are working here at CPDN, is it really so hard to put the relevant credits file in the right place where the external stats sites are looking for it?

No site has been updated since March 17. The only thing today was BoincStats getting up-to-date with FreeDC.

Consider this project to be a credit free zone for now and some time into the future.

No longer a credit free zone. My credits are now up to date. Thanks.

There seems to be a lot of work available, but after about 20 failed downloads (permanent HTTP error) this computer has reached its daily quota, have a nice day, come back tomorrow. Nothing to see here, move along!

For me, the credits haven't been updated neither on this site nor on any of the stats sites (BOINCStats, FreeDC) since 1/13... :-


For me, the stats have been updating on this site, as well as on Boinc Manager, but since Jan 13, not on any external stats sites.

Seems like the script that is supposed to export the stats is not running.

If a climate scientist working on computational models does not know how to use free computing capacity, I would fire him. But as it is, we�ll just wait for work�

Even though the credit updates work on this site, it has been several days since the credits have been updated on any external site.
