Site is up and running and is available for all your (Linux) SMP installation needs!

Things that still need doing:

Add a WinSMP section

Correct any spelling/grammar
Correct any weird symbols

Fix any bugs you lot will no doubt find! :p

I have been looking at this site all day so I may well have missed various errors. It would be great if you find an error to let me know in here. This also includes any CSS weirdness [layout problems etc]. Try and be as precise as possible :)

I haven't tried it in IE yet but will do shortly.
 
Trust you to find that lot!

smp2 is the longest page so I am not surprised I missed a few things. I will get on it later and upload the updated page.

The links are supposed to go from bold to normal when you have visited them. It's what Internet people expect, so who am I to disappoint? :D

Excellent site SiriusB - must have been quite a bit of work :)

I quite enjoyed it actually. Marking up all the content was a royal pain in the arse [and as evidenced by my mistakes, there was lots of it to do!]. If anyone knows of a utility that can do it for me in future, that would be great! Open Office and MS Word can do it but creates mark-up that takes an age to fix.

Next project is my own personal website. But I haven't decided what I am gonna put on it yet :p

Site renders well in Safari. Looks nice too. Good job SB. :)

Although you could make your credits a little bit larger on the footer.

Thanks for all your praise. And thank you shadow for finding all the bugs! They all should be corrected the next time I update the site with the WinSMP section. [If anyone wants anything specific added to WinSMP let me know].

Re the footer - yeah, in Linux FF it looked OK, but I have noticed its a tad small in Win FF. Will sort it next time I update :)
 
I was tinkering with some options in my hosting's control panel, it looks like it changed the .htaccess file in the smp folder. There was some stuff there that wasn't there the last time I looked at it :p

Just nuked it and it appears to be working again.
 
Hey guys, can one of you do me a favour?

I am trying to find all the info on the Windows SMP client so I can add it to the guide, but for some reason the forums are misbehaving and taking ages to do anything.
 
I have added a contact page to the website, so you can contact me directly with any problems or suggestions for the guide.

Wouldn't mind some info on the WinSMP client. Specifically the batch file, where to get it, how it works and any other pertinent info.

EDIT: Woo, my site is now in Google :D

My website has gone global :eek:

So far I have had visitors from:

UK, USA, Czech Republic, Sweden, Canada, Denmark and Australia

This is all new to me, so it's cool :p
 
If you want to update your finstall SMP clients with V6, do like so:

Download the new Linux V6 client.

Stop your clients

Extract the contents and then copy the fah6 and mpiexec files

Copy the files into each CPU folder you have [replacing any files]

Each CPU folder will have a FaH file. Open it up.

At the bottom of the file is the line:

Code: 
$add_pref  /home/aeternum/foldingathome/CPU1/[B]fah5[/B] $FAH_flags $FAH_default_flags  $@
Change the parts in bold to this:


Code: 
$add_pref  /home/aeternum/foldingathome/CPU1/[B]fah6 -smp[/B] $FAH_flags $FAH_default_flags  $@
You can now restart the folding clients and you wont lose any WUs.

EDIT: I will add the update instructions on the webpage as soon as I can. Might also get around to updating the FahMon instructions too :p
 
Right, ive added the update to the site... before I add fahmon, just want to check I have got it right:

download fahmon
extract it
go into folder
./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

jobs a goodun?
 
Who can and can't run as a service?

And thanks for the batch file. I am guessing it can be run from anywhere assuming the paths are correct.
 
That looks interesting - helpful for those neurotic people who don't like windows open [does Vista not have multiple desktops yet?]
 
Amazing. Multiple desktops has to be one of the easiest, most elegant ways of spreading out and organizing your work. A bunch of guys with beards working from a shed and pimply kids in dark bedrooms can manage it, but not "we spent billions on Vista" Microsoft!
