I have a RHEL / CPanel system that's been running boinc (as a service) with just seti for months now. I've tried to add CP on more than one occasion and it will never run workunits.

I stop the service as root and "su /home/boinc" so that boinc will own all the new files created (just like I did when originally installing it and attaching seti).

Here's the output from an entire session where I tried to attach CP. ~ = /home/boinc

Any suggestions as to what the problem is ? It's been several weeks since the last time I tried and I think there were different versions of the software then so it's not version specific.


I'm running the latest RHEL and CPanel. It's a server located at a datacentre in Texas on a 100Mbit vlan connection to the internet. The reason the downloads/uploads were so slow was that my default profile limits them because two of my other computers are on dialup. I've since increased the download limit in my default profile. BTW, isn't 26 (0x1a) the EOF character in ascii?

here's the current contents of the project directory
