I'm new to BOINC; I'm using the "Quick start" BOINC server, as per: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/QuickStart

I seem to have everything installed and running: I can connect to my test project with 3 different clients (Windows, Android, Ubuntu). HOWEVER: no jobs are getting dispatched: all clients report "the server says there is no work", and yet, I see results/workunits in the server ops pages. (I've enqueued both the example_app jobs, and some of my own for a sample Windows client.)

What is my next step to figure out why jobs are not getting dispatched?

Try to set a higher debug level on the server and activate additional log flags like debug_send* and debug_version_select. Than look into the server logfiles. The client sometimes also prints in the message log why no work was sent.

see: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ProjectOptions#Logging

Thank you for the input... but I still have so many questions. Any help is appreciated.

1) Where should I be looking (in the file system or DB) for the results? I honestly can't figure out where to look. (I'd like to confirm that the "results directory" -- wherever that is -- is empty.)

2) My feeder.log as these lines in it:

2014-07-30 14:33:08.9219 [debug] result [RESULT#1] already in array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9220 [debug] result [RESULT#2] already in array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9221 [debug] result [RESULT#3] already in array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9221 [debug] result [RESULT#4] already in array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9221 [debug] result [RESULT#5] already in array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9221 [debug] result [RESULT#6] already in array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9221 [debug] result [RESULT#7] already in array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9221 [debug] result [RESULT#8] already in array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9222 [debug] result [RESULT#9] already in array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9222 [debug] result [RESULT#10] already in array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9222 [debug] result [RESULT#11] already in array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9222 [debug] result [RESULT#12] already in array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9227 [debug] Added 0 results to array
2014-07-30 14:33:08.9227 [debug] 12 results already in array

Does that mean the results are already calculated by the clients? What does it mean to say “results are already in array”?

3) You mentioned I should try to set a higher debug level. OK, I added:

<debug_send/>
<debug_send_scan/>
<debug_send_job/>
<debug_user_messages/>

to my config.xml. Do I need to stop and restart something? If so, what? (Maybe not, as if the scheduler is a CGI app… won’t it necessarily ready the “config.xml” every time it runs?)

4) What log am I supposed to be looking in? There doesn’t seem to be a log called “scheduler.log” or “dispatcher.log”.
