Projectname "CPDN" changed to S@H in the workwindow!

What to do, how to repair?

I've read about this one several times already in all project forums.


What you could try is :

Shutdown BOINC, then check (and fix) the master_url and project_name entries in the account*.xml files. After BOINC restart it should be fixed *hopefully*.

1) Close BOINC
2) Make back-up copies of all your XML files to a safe directory
3) Open all account_*.xml files and edit the project name so that it is appropriate to the project URL
4) Open client_state.xml. Scroll through the file. Change your project name(s) that you corrected in the account files to match the URLs here, too. Note that the XML file contains project tags for each project. When you find an affected project, you'll see that there is app and file data that is inconsistent with that project. Delete these entries (including tags) from the file. Don't be shy (you made back-ups, right?) -- you can do it again in case you mess something up. Besides, your editor has undo.
5) Restart BOINC
6) It *might* be necessary to detach an orphan project. In my first attempt, I somehow wound up with an extra LHC@home on one machine. It showed 0 results, so I just detached it. My valid LHC@home entry remains fine.

Feel free to delete the invalid files from your project dirs.

There is a much easier fix for this. Do nothing. It is usually just the name that is messed up all the other data is correct and it will straighten itself out on the next RPC to the affected project(s).

CCv4.13 should prevent this from happening again.
