Thanks

Where did you place the files you extracted?

They need to go into your BOINC data/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu folder. Your app_info should also be in there along with all the .exe and .dll files referenced in your app_info. Do this with comms suspended, BOINC down. start BOINC up and see if it gives any error messages about missing files. If okay enable comms again and see how it goes for one work unit, so you might need to set to No new work for project Seti.

Its much simpler to use the unified installer and it will create the app_info and put all the files into the right places for you.

At the moment, it's far more likely to be the buggy server code sending a false alarm - especially if you app_into has worked since you last modified it.

The best advice is: do nothing except wait.

Garry W:
Thanks for your response's.  I do use the unified installers when changing or upgrading.  I think I may have to wait until after the Tuesday outage is over to do more, as I am also getting the message in red that states I have reached my daily download limit of 100 wu's.

This is not true as I have received 0 downloads since the server was brought back online 06/14/10.

Perhaps after I run off the 15 or so in cache I should re-install 6.10.56 or try a repair of it.

Richard Haselgrove:
No!

It's a server problem, not your problem. NOTHING YOU DO AT YOUR END WILL FIX IT.

Leave well alone, and it'll all come right in the end.

Keey an eye on the main SETI message board - say Message from server: (reached daily quota of 100 tasks). When you start seeing people post "Thanks Matt for fixing it", try again: if it still doesn't work for you, that's the time to start asking questions here.

Garry W:
Well Folks, in order to receive any work at all on this machine.  I had to uninstall the optimized app and reinstall boinc.

Kept getting reached daily limit of 108 and your app_info.xml has no useable setiathome enhanced.

As soon as the first sentence was completed, I got about 20 wu's.

I'll try the optimized later when I see the thank you's to Matt for fixing the problem as suggested by Richard H.
