If you want to check, "update" the project then recheck it's

This means that if you have 2 hosts and each is not talking to the same 'oldest', to include inactive, the 2 hosts can converge to different CPIDs. Update each project.ĭO NOT copy the file, it contains other information specific to each machine!!! It can be a pain if you have lots of machines, but if you do it properly it works.įinaly, a quick note on the displayed CPIDs: The value you copy will be shown as is on CPDN but Seti, Einstein and Protein Predictor (not sure about the others yet) will still show a different value, this is okay. The CPID a host converges to is the 'oldest' generated at a project, to which a client is talking.
Locate theBOINC CPID INSTALL
Open the "client_state.xml", found in the BOINC install directory, in any suitable editor.

I'm running as a service so this involved stopping the BOINC manager and stopping the Service (Control Panel->Admin Tools->Services). If, like me, you didn't (seti was my first) then it's a bit more complicated. double checked my CPID via Boincstats and it is correct in the conf file. If you are just starting with BOINC then create your CPDN account first the others should then use the CPID from CPDN. 2 Verify CPID is valid FAILED (BOINC CPID & nf CPID do not. There may have been one buried but for those who are also struggling here is a simple solution:ĬPDN does not update it's CPID (internal or external) to match other BOINC projects.

I've read through that link and others and found them generally inconclusive on either the problem or a solution. Archive For help with anything BOINC related you cant find in our FAQ or if you need an.
