Hello,
Im running into the "can't connect to localhost" when running boinccmd.

This is using the Ubuntu apt-get package.

I am trying to force it to be installed into another file system, linked to it's usual destination /var/lib/boinc-client. The filesystem is tmpfs, a ram disk.

My fstab entry is:
tmpfs /var/lib/boinc-client tmpfs defaults,size=2048M 0 0

Checking netstat --listen and lsof I can't see boinc is actually listening on the expected port 31416

Any ideas on why I would be getting "can't connect to localhost"?

Cheers
Seth

Fixed it, like I always do when I post here. This line did the trick:

sudo sysctl -w fs.protected_symlinks=0
