my OS type is freebsd 6.1 stable

when I enter this command:
./boinc_client --attach_project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu <mykey>

it echos:

then it just stopped...
I can only use Ctrl+C to end it.

then it echos:

so, I can't get any tasks for operation.
Please help me......

It look like on the previos attach, was the app_info.xml file in the $BOINCDIR/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu was not found, and so the boinc client is going to wait 24 hours.

Could you please stop the boinc client and verify, if the app_info.xml and the setiathome application (setiathome-5.1x...) is in these directory and start the boinc client again with "./boinc_client -update_prefs http://setiathome.berkeley.edu".

I already have app_info.xml in /var/db/boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/

enter "./boinc_client -update_prefs http://setiathome.berkeley.edu"

p.s.I install the software from /usr/ports/astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced/

Thanks for your reply! :)

I already have app_info.xml in /var/db/boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/

2006-10-30 02:50:11 [---] Data directory: /usr/local/bin

p.s.I install the software from /usr/ports/astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced/

I am not shure, if the boinc client also should be in /var/db/boinc instead of /usr/local/lib. Could you please try to copy the boinc_client to /var/db/boinc, and restart it again with -update_prefs http://setiathome...
If the boinc client found the app_info.xml, it will prints out a message, which is missing at your outputs.

I copy the app_info.xml to /usr/local/bin
Because my boinc_client is installed in /usr/local/bin

P.S. I use the FreeBSD ports to install it.
boinc-client-5.4.9 Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing client
boinc-setiathome-enhanced-5.12 Setiathome Enhanced for BOINC

It stop the message... It can't end by itself.
I can only stop it by Ctrl+C again. :<

Ｉdon't know what can I do for it...

Please help~~~ Thanks!

I copy the app_info.xml to /usr/local/bin
Because my boinc_client is installed in /usr/local/bin

This is the wrong directory, /var/db/boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu is the right one. Your boinc client only accepts the app_info.xml in this directory.

Could you please post the output of "ls -Rla /var/db/boinc".

You could also try to copy the boinc client from /usr/local/bin to /var/db/boinc/ and "cd /var/db/boinc" and start the boinc client with ./boinc_client --attach_project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu YOUR_ACCOUNT_KEY"

It stop the message... It can't end by itself.
I can only stop it by Ctrl+C again. :<

This is OK.
