Hello all,
Please don\'t laugh... I keep getting these messages:

20/12/2007 11:02:33|climateprediction.net|You used the wrong URL for this project
20/12/2007 11:02:33|climateprediction.net|The correct URL is http://climateprediction.net/
20/12/2007 11:02:33|climateprediction.net|Using the wrong URL can cause problems in some cases.
20/12/2007 11:02:33|climateprediction.net|When convenient, detach this project, then reattach to http://climateprediction.net/

How can I be using the wrong URL when I don\'t log on manually???
How can I detach without losing the model I am running?
I have been ignoring these messages for a while (hoping they will go home), and have had no problems so far. Should I keep doing that?
In case it helps, I run Vista, Comodo Firewall and Bitdefender Antivirus(on which I have excluded BOINC) I have moved the BOINC file to C, and take regular backps.

Any ideas?
thank you for your time,

Hi Skatzohoiros

Simple enough - it\'s your BOINC access that has the wrong url.

It originated in the early days, when there were 2 urls: one WITH www at the start, and one without. But then BOINC was \'improved\', and all projects were allowed only one url, in our case without the www.

It\'s not a problem, and can be left until you finish your model. THEN detach, and start again with the correct url.
There is a cure, which involves editing an xml file in several places. A program was written to do this, but I don\'t remember were it is.

It makes sense now.

I will go do my homework on detaching and re-attaching then.

Thank you Les!

Or, as Les mentioned, you can run Thyme Lawn\'s utility to set things right. (Worked for me, more than once.)

Be sure to stop CPDN and boinc first, then make a backup. (As the old saw holds: Better safe than sorry.)

Edit: Apologies for the late post; I\'m still getting caught-up after being away a few days.

Thank you astroWX.

I haven\'t tried it yet, but it since it worked for you, I guess it\'ll work for me too.

Best wishes for 2008!

Do take a backup first, if it doesn\'t work then it\'ll muck up your boinc installation.
