Thanks Rebirther for the response but unfortunately it is no-go.
"File referenced in app_info does not exist: Odd Weird Search" (probably as no file is referenced in file-info)
"[error] State file error:bad application name Odd Weird Search"

If I leave the file info as yoyo stated and change the app name to what you (Rebirther) stated I get the same errors I reported before.

It does not like the url (even though I can download the file from that exact url when typed at the browser prompt) and it does not like the application name.

It should work but wont.

If I drop the url reference it still does not work.
Should there be an "app" reference in there somewhere?
Such as
<app>
<name>------------</name>
<user_friendly_name>----------------</user_friendly_name>
</app>

Then use that app name under the <app_version> section of the code.

Or does this not matter?
Do I actually need the api reference, as I don't put that in any of my app_info files?

What is the correct application name?
Why does the URL referenced not work or does it not need the url but a direct file reference?

Thanks
Conan

OK, tried that, but did not work.
Could not find the file referenced in app_info.xml.

So I added back the URL, this did not work as could not find URL.

I removed the URL link.
Manually downloaded the file (by just typing the link that yoyo gave in the his app_info code)
Copied the file to the BOINC YOYO Project directory.
Restarted BOINC and no more errors.

Still don't know if this works as it has not downloaded a work unit for Odd Weird Search yet but looks good to go.

So thanks Rebirther (and yoyo), looks like it will now work.
I will do my other computer when another project finishes as it does not checkpoint and I have already lost over 30 hours on this computer due to evolution@home and QMC, as both restart from zero time when BOINC restarts.

Would it be possible to have some kind of overall progress meter on the website?

This is now available.

I am still having trouble getting work for the Odd Weird Search.
I get the message that there is work available but not for the applications I have selected (being Odd Weird Search).

My app_info.xml looks like this (just the section about Odd Weird Search, so there is an <app_info> at the top and an </app_info> at the bottom)

<app>
<name>Odd Weird Search</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>oddWeiredSearch_0.01_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>Odd Weird Search</app_name>
<version_num>1</version_num>
<file_ref>
<file_name>oddWeiredSearch_0.01_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu<file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>

Although I don't get an error message saying so (I get no actual error messages), I am wondering if the app_name is correct?
Instead of "Odd Weird Search" should it be "oddWeiredSearch" maybe?
The name I am using as the app_name seems more like a user_friendly_name to me.

Any help appreciated,
Thanks

Here is something that should work:

<app>
<name>oddWeiredSearch</name>
</app>

<file_info>
<name>oddWeiredSearch_0.01_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>oddWeiredSearch</app_name>
<version_num>1</version_num>
<file_ref>
<file_name>oddWeiredSearch_0.01_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>

Thanks fwjmath,
I will change my app_info.xml file and give it a go, but I wont be able to try it out till my RNA World work units complete (they will start from scratch if I stop and restart BOINC, and they have many hours clocked up).
