Hello,

after installing boinc on two systems I found a second time the same problem.

I get the above errormessage and before I get the errormessage:
Scheduler request to http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc_cgi/cgi failed with a return value of 500
No schedulers responded

It seems as if the new versions have a problem with connecting over proxies!? I have older clients which are running fine over the same proxies and without having any problems!

I had the same problems with my laptop and there was the solution to take it home and let him reconnect without a proxy there - and it worked!?

But now I have a desktop and this is too heavy to carry it with me at home.

So would be cool to have a workaround - specially as I couldn\'t find a similiar thread here!

Thanks for help,
Manfred

What version of BOINC are you using? For some time now BOINC supports connecting over a proxy server. Under Options specify the appropriate proxy information, and you should be fine.

Hello,

I have the same problem, and this since the versions 5.. I\'m currently running the 5.3.31 - fresh upgraded from the 5.2.13 version - and despite this new version can\'t connect through the company proxy / firewall. Http connexion parameters are OK.

It worked fine with older version of BOINC (was that the 3.something ?)

Thanks,

Cedric

Sorry Cedric, there\'s not much we can do to help. Speaking to the company\'s IT people is about the only answer.

On the BOINC/dev site, Spok is having similar difficulties.
There are also other threads there of a similar nature.
