I get that too. No proxies here.

shadowscotland · 13 Sep 2007 at 17:10

HTTP 400 - Bad Request
Internet Explorer

Ditto - and I do have an exotic proxy

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

Just nuked it and it appears to be working again.

shadowscotland · 13 Sep 2007 at 17:54

Working again - thanks SB

SiriusB · 13 Sep 2007 at 21:05

Good, good

Was worried for a minute there

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.

SiriusB · 24 Sep 2007 at 22:04

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

SiriusB · 1 Oct 2007 at 00:15

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

You should translate the content to cater for all the respective languages.

Keep yer out of trouble for a while.

SiriusB · 1 Oct 2007 at 01:47

Sod that. Explaining Linux in English is bad enough - nevermind Mongolian

theheyes · 1 Oct 2007 at 07:23

You're missing out on all the potential borgs Ghengis Khan has pillaged over the years!

SB can I asked that the update procedure is also included - would be really helpfull to have the 'help' all in one place.

As you can guess my home machine is back on stand units again after a failed attemp to update this morning

Really should give myself more that 5min's to do this kind of thing, (but then again I've just update three windows smp client in 1)

In the mean time someone save me some greif and point me at a guide/faq/help so I don't lose 90% of my current unit - cos a complete install is the only way I've got myself working again previously

Edit: I should note that i used finstall (as I think one of SB posts mentioned in passing that this means something different)

SiriusB · 1 Oct 2007 at 12:59

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

That'd be nice

shadowscotland · 1 Oct 2007 at 22:10

Many thanks SB - easy to follow and worked first time - top man :cool:

SiriusB · 1 Oct 2007 at 22:37

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?

Pretty much, yeah. configure will complain at you if you don't have any of the required packages.
You still need the wxGTK ones + g++, however you no longer need scons.

SiriusB · 1 Oct 2007 at 22:51

which wxGTK package? My guide says 2.6

I have just updated the website - http://smp.aeternum.co.uk/smp4.xhtml

Let me know if theres a problem

EDIT: I have also just added a Windows SMP page - http://smp.aeternum.co.uk/windows.xhtml

A short word on the batch file and NOT running it as a service might be good.
(well some people can run as a service)

Note: my instalition isn't in the default location so revise directory tree as need

Code:

@echo off
echo Starting FAH for the first time
echo -------------------------------
echo.
"C:\Folding@home\WinSMP\fah.exe" -oneunit -verbosity 9 -local
:restart
echo.
echo Restarting FAH
echo -------------------------------
echo.
"C:\Folding@home\WinSMP\fah.exe" -oneunit -verbosity 9 -local
goto restart

SiriusB · 2 Oct 2007 at 12:55

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.
