Messages from climate server:

climateprediction.net - 2005-05-12 10:36:53 - Sending request to scheduler: http://predictor.scripps.edu/predictor_cgi/cgi
climateprediction.net - 2005-05-12 10:36:56 - Scheduler RPC to http://predictor.scripps.edu/predictor_cgi/cgi succeeded
climateprediction.net - 2005-05-12 10:36:56 - Message from server: Invalid or missing account key. Visit this project's web site to get an account key.

It looks like the BOINC is contacting the Predictor@Home scheduler instead of the CPDN one. Try deleting the file 'master.html' in your BOINC directory and then do a project update on climateprediction.net

Done, but doesn't solve the problem. I get the same message and climate still trying connect to predictor. ¿How is possible? Other projects seems to work fine (Einstein and SETI)

Thanks again...

Oh well, time for the sledgehammer approach :)

If you're happy to edit files you can stop BOINC and edit client_state.xml in the BOINC directory (take a copy first just in case).

You need to search for the string <b>predictor_cgi</b>. You should find 2 occurrences. Ignore the one in the predictor project block - the one you need to change is inside the project block for climateprediction.net, where you need to change the <b>scheduler_url</b> line to

<b>&lt;scheduler_url&gt;http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc_cgi/cgi&lt;/scheduler_url&gt;</b>

Save the file, restart BOINC and the CPDN update should work.

Great! That do the job

Actually i found 4 times the string; 3 times in the predictor block and once in the climate block, just before the correct scheduler_url line, so i had 2 sheduler_url lines (??)

First i delete the extra? scheduler_url line, but BOINC start to do funny things: replace the SETI project for a second climate project in the projects tab in the GUI O_O. So, i left the extra? sheduler_url line in the climate block changing to the correct address; and aparently all is working fine again.

Even i dont´t understand the BOINC behavior or why this happen in first place, i´m glad to go back ;)

Thank you so much Thyme...
