BOINC Crashed!

[IronBits]

I had to re-install BOINC after a reboot.

All the projects it was working on is missing when Boinc MGR starts up!

How do I recover from this so it can continue where it was, and has a list of all projects it was working on???????

[IronBits]

I knew there was a reason I hate BOINC

I dumped the whole damn directory and started over.
Projects lost out, again.

I'll just go rub elbows with some teammates I haven't had the privilege of crunching with before, over on a project I've never run before, called Docking@home .

I've never had that happen at all....

I've never had that happen at all....

I Bet you did not install it in C:\programs\boinc\ Did you

[IronBits]

Never ever ever never ever do I install any dc applications in c:\programs files, or any place else 'they' think it should go...
I always always always install to
\dcprojects\projectname
Been doing that since 1999...
I can easily move them around that way from HDD to another HDD with nary a problem.

This time, I thought I would be a nice guy and run with their new Boinc Beta...
Should have used a different directory, but I didn't think it wipe out what the previous version was working on.

No big deal either way. Fresh installs, like a good cup of coffee first thing in the morning

I got bother with my last update. I lost the boinc service and it seems to split the program and data between one of your personal dirs and the usual c:\program files . And that was the recommended prog update. I just don't like boinc or any of it's junk but what can u do? Even WCG runs solely on BONK now.
And don't say go to the forum cos it's full of **!!!XXX people.
David thingy has responded to a couple of previous issues direct but now I don't bother.

Now you guys are scaring me. No problems here so far, but just as sure as God made little green ones (or is that LGM?), something will happen.

Repeat after me: It's a LEARNING experience!

I'd have checked the "Data" directory maybe it just needed a clean out, I know when I updated it snafu'd it but closing the program, coping the data to the correct "data" folder - since I still had the old stuff, and a restart finds everything and starts to crunch once more..
maybe time to take the occational snap

IB I have seen BOINC mis-behave as you describe.

AMDave had the solution for my issue with BOINC and that was the BOINC Manager hadn't connected to the computer. In Advanced - Select Computer click on the Host name: drop-down box and highlight localhost. The password field will fill with dots then click OK and it will re-connect. Then all your attached projects will appear in BOINCManager's Project tab and the issue is solved.

At least until next time is decides to go AWOL.

I don't think this is necessarily misbehaviour as such. IB already admitted he was installing a beta version of BOINC over the top of a current non-beta installation.

If I was toying with the beta version I'd expect things not to work. It's a beta.
