I started running BOINC again recently after a pause of about six months. Since a much newer BOINC client was available (5.2.13) I downloaded that first and untarred it.

When I executed the ./run_client command, Seti started running. I got the message that the workunits were very old and I might not get credit. This, coupled with the fact that the seti client was also very old (4.02) made me decide to "reset" the project. That is, I executed
./run_client -reset_project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/

Now, here's the problem. Now whenever I execute ./run_client, the only thing that runs is my other
project, climateprediction.net. Even if I set the work ratio 10:1 in favour of seti and leave it all night, no seti work begins.

So, a couple of questions. Does anyone know what's going on and why I can't do any seti work? And does the seti client version update automatically, or do I have to download that as well as the BOINC client?

Finally, in case it helps, I've attached the terminal output displayed after executing the ./run_client command.

Thanks in advance!

Okay, answering my own question here.

Detaching and reattaching didn't work, but what did work was deleting the entire BOINC directory and subdirectories, and then reinstalling BOINC, and reattaching to both climateprediction.net and SETI.

I don't know why, but it works now.
