I don't know if this detail will help, but I had no problem re-adding the project on my PC's running Windows. However, I received the same "Please try again later" message as some others when attempting to re-add the project on my PC's running Linux.

My linux machines are all not letting me add it back after deleting the original connection. I have tried with http and https with the address given in the message. Earlier I could not log into my account online (error was, no email matching mine), that is working again and I can log in online to the website.

Try coping the milkyway???.xml file from your Windows pc's and pasting it into you Linux pc and you should be online without having to 'sign in' again I do it all the time when I bring up a new pc either from a crash or a rebuild or just a new pc, drive or OS. You can find the windows one in c:\program data\Boinc and in Linux it goes in the var/lib/boinc folder. YES the file is the exact same in Windows and Linux and it even works for Mac's as well.

Sorry about FAQ or bug report, I still cannot contact (re-attach milkyway until now, the time of this article posted)

In my case, I am using another squid proxy (http proxy and https proxy) and I figured out that boinc did not use https proxy but only http proxy.

Anyway, the local boinc client reported:

my attachment command is here:

Thanks for any advice

Latest Mint version installed and still the same problem

Copying the windows XML file across to Linux did not work either

Okay

Copy the Windows XML file across as noted to Linux

sudo service boinc-client stop
sudo service boinc-client start

Restart your Boinc manager

All good now!

Spoke too soon.

The account name does not display

It appears the update from the server is still failing

Second to last line seems to say it all:
Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site

It's doing well on my end so far i was able to re-add Milkyway without any problems :) it's going as fast as it should now yeye!. Perhaps the sluggishness i experienced before is because i'm on Windows 11 or the increasing number of people doing tasks.

There's a problem with the certificate chain on the new server.
If you want to get up and going before they get it replaced drop these 2 certs into your machine cert-store.

Not able to add the new version for over 24 hours. Here is the log file:

We are up to version 7.24.1 now which makes some things better ie one thing that helps me is if you use an app.config file to limit the number of tasks running for project a to ensure tasks run from project b Boinc will fill the cache based on the number of tasks you are running. Some projects still ignore this setting but for most it works just fine.

Latest Mint version installed and still the same problem

Is it your everyday pc or just a cruncher pc? I also use Linux Mint on some of my pc's that are Boinc crunchers only and am still on an older version that works great, version 20.3 and then turn off the auto updates and don't do any updates besides updating the Nvidia drivers.

Still the same ...

remove the project, then add http://milkyway-new.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
can not add :(

My Mint box pretty much just crunches

It was working on the old Milkyway server just fine

I've managed to connect it to the new server, but it does not update

Perhaps too much registrations in too short time?
On my side the win10 was successful, two debian not.

Changed two of my hosts to milkyway-new. In both hosts it downloaded new work which is being processed. I will not change my other hosts to milkyway-new until I see that completed work is being processed and credited in here and BOINC/BAM..

Are you getting an error when you click the "Update" button on the BOINC manager such that it wont send completed workunits?

Wanted to add I'm also having the problem of not being able to re-add the project, but only one one Linux machine.

Lubuntu machine: works fine, I didn't have to do anything
Linux Mint machine: the same error others are having

HTH,

There is no new version of BOINC Manager available for download.

There is no version to update according to my client. Am I supposed to have some secret signal?[/img]

@admin:

Check your config.xml and schedulers.txt files if the url has been changed.

It is both running and crediting my tasks fine on my end, and looking at the server status there's thousands of tasks running and currently 25 waiting to be credited. I've seen one or two tasks failing though but that's to be expected. If you see any sluggishness because of the amount of tasks being done i would suggest running two NFS tasks then go back to your Milkyway task which seems to speed it right up.
