My project had 2 tasks running but I noticed one had stopped. I checked the messages and found:

How do I reattach to this project with the correct URL? Thanks Peter

Chances are that you used \"www.\" in the URL when attaching. Attach with the URL precisely a noted in the Messages you posted, fifth line. (I don\'t use the final \"/\".)

I\'m a bit bothered by the line in Peter\'s messages that says \"Resetting project\". Does this mean he pressed the Reset button? Because, if so, presumably he\'s lost his model(s)? :-(

Note the next line in Peter\'s post. Note the Thread topic.
Yes, reset and/or detach eliminates whatever work was in process.

Thanks for your replies. It appears that I did lose the model that I was running, but fortunately I had only been running it for less than 24 hours. I have now reattached but obviously it is to a different model. However, two points should be noted.

1) When I joined climateprediction.net and installed the software, part of the installation process stated that I could copy and paste the URL from my browser, which is what I did. Clearly, if that isn\'t correct then it should be removed from the installation instructions.

2) I simply followed the instructions in the message, \'When convenient, detach this project, then reattach to http://climateprediction.net/\'. Being new to the project I had no idea of the implications of this action.

Looking at the beginning of the message list I found:

21/05/2007 11:32:25|climateprediction.net|URL: http://www.climateprediction.net/; Computer ID: 672983; location: (none); project prefs: default

where it had previously accepted the \'wrong\' URL and appeared to continue without error. Maybe someone should have a look at that. My new project has been running for over 4 hours now so we\'ll have to see how that gets on.

The version of the Boinc manager in testing (5.9) is supposed to fix this problem of attaching to the wrong URL (I think it gives you a list of projects to select from, rather than having you type in a URL). I haven\'t tried it, and because it\'s a test version, there are plenty of other bugs in it.
