Reading the config gives me

11/30/2009 1:41:16 AM Unparsed tag in cc_config.xml: <checkpoint_debug>

(and three more for cpu_sched_debug, rr_simulation and work_fetch_debug)

So, what gives?

Can you post the contents of your cc_config.xml file, please?

Some of the tags were made obsolete in later versions of BOINC, and at least one had it's meaning, (and how to use it), altered.
So, which version of BOINC are you using?

edit
Not typing fast enough. :)

<cc_config>
<checkpoint_debug>1</checkpoint_debug>
<cpu_sched_debug>1</cpu_sched_debug>
<rr_simulation>1</rr_simulation>
<work_fetch_debug>1</work_fetch_debug>
</cc_config>

BOINC is current stable, 6.10.18. And... well, I used the "documentation".

<cc_config>
<checkpoint_debug>1</checkpoint_debug>
<cpu_sched_debug>1</cpu_sched_debug>
<rr_simulation>1</rr_simulation>
<work_fetch_debug>1</work_fetch_debug>
</cc_config>

There may be hidden (non-printing) characters introduced by mistake during the editing process. You don't say which OS you use, or how you created the file: but going on the "90% use Windows" principle....

It's best to use the absolutely simplest editor, usually Notepad. Even then, I've found that the Notepad in Vista can hide errors which the Notepad in XP reveals.

The text above looks 'clean': probably the easiest thing would be to start with a new (empty) file, and copy the text again from this message board - the board itself will have taken out non-printing characters.

<cc_config>
<checkpoint_debug>1</checkpoint_debug>
<cpu_sched_debug>1</cpu_sched_debug>
<rr_simulation>1</rr_simulation>
<work_fetch_debug>1</work_fetch_debug>
</cc_config>

There exist two sections in a cc_config.xml, log_flags and options. You have none of them in your file. If you look at the documentation again :-), you'll see that the file should look like this:

<cc_config>
  <log_flags>
    <checkpoint_debug>1</checkpoint_debug>
    <cpu_sched_debug>1</cpu_sched_debug>
    <rr_simulation>1</rr_simulation>
    <work_fetch_debug>1</work_fetch_debug>
  </log_flags>
</cc_config>

Ouchies. Good thing I didn't claim to be king of XML (I almost did...) ;-)

Got to leave some for everyone else! ;-)

No, you're right: I missed it. Must be getting old. And well done for getting it yourself.
