Cannot add yoyo to Boinc
I am using the URL http://www.rechenkraft.net/yoyo/ to add yoyo to my BOINC projects. BOINC tells me that this URL is not a BOINC project and will not connect. Is there a new URL I shood use?.
Thanks,
Jim

Re: Cannot add yoyo to Boinc
What version of BOINC are you using? On what computer are you trying (Windows, Linux, Android)?

Re: Cannot add yoyo to Boinc
I just did a fresh install of 7.2.39 on a Windows 7 system. I added yoyo through the add project wizard (it has the same URL) without a problem. Did you try to add another project? Maybe your firewall is blocking outgoing traffic.

Re: Cannot add yoyo to Boinc
Yes, I did try to load another project and it worked fine. I have been having a couple of problems with yoyo that I am beginning suspect are my issues but I don't have a handle on how to diagnose and fix. When I had yoyo loaded the first time, I could not upload anything because of a "Project file handler missing " message. So I removed yoyo and tried to add it back. That is where I am now. I looked at the Boinc Data folder, there are no references to yoyo, I would not think there would be. Maybe I should reinstall BOINC. How does one do that?

Re: Cannot add yoyo to Boinc
Can you access the yoyo homepage via a browser? What the client does is download the main page and the get_project_config.php. The first should be a normal html page for you, the second is some xml text when shown in the browser. If those two are present than the client knows it's a BOINC project.
If other projects are working than somwthing may block the communication from or to the yoyo server for the BOINC client. Reinstalling woudn't fix this. It's a long shot but did you change your /etc/hosts file? On Windows I would suspect a personal firewall or some Antivirus tool to block access to specific websites/servers for certain applications. I don't know of any Mac pendants to look for.

OK, I downloaded and reinstalled BOINC, it is now downloading a task for yoyo.
Thanks for the lead.

Re: Cannot add yoyo to Boinc
So reinstalling did help? That's odd, maybe your client_state.xml was corrupt or had some old yoyo entried and got fixed by reinstalling.

Re: Cannot add yoyo to Boinc
When in doubt, unplug and reconnect or in software, re-install, I guess.
Re: Cannot add yoyo to Boinc
7.2.39 has a bug in it. Upgrade to .42, which was just released.
