Message 18597 - Posted: 17 Jul 2008, 20:34:43 UTC

Was running version 5.10.45 just fine, then 2 days ago it stopped computing WU's and they all came back with compution errors. I was unable to update or recompute projects, message said [error]can't create HTTP response output file/projects ...........

I tried reinstalling, but it was no help. even after reinstalling kept getting the same errors, and it is not downloading any new work.

The message comes from the cURL interface of the BOINC client, when tries to open a file for writing.

Have you changed the user that runs BOINC or copied BOINC to a different location?

Check the permissions on the "projects" subdirectory (and the subdirectories below) of your BOINC work directory. Can the user that runs BOINC create subdirectories under "projects" and create files in those subdirectories?
