Chuck Lasher directed me to you for assistance. We're trying to create a BOINC client for Riesel Sieve, a project that is seeking to prove the Riesel Conjecture (http://www.rieselsieve.com for those kinds of details). I'm trying to get the basics of a server set up, using the upper_case test program that comes with BOINC.

However, I cannot get the scheduler to start properly. It keeps reporting that "The project is temporarily shut down for maintenance", so the project is stuck in this "maintenance mode". There are WU's in the queue (see logs below), so I'm not sure how to switch things out into "normal" mode.

Here's the different log files:

Any help/assistance is greatly appreciated. Server is a 2.8 Ghz P4 with 1 GB RAM. Would have real project on a beefier server, this is just a testing site.

Bryan,

Try editing the user and group in your httpd.conf file. By default it's set to daemon/daemon. Change this to apache/apache and restart apache with the command "apachect1 -k restart" then you should be able to attach to your project. Additionally make sure that your <PROJECT>/cgi-bin/cgi file is owned by apache. Good luck!

Candice
