Client Errors

Topic 12962

Hi - newbie post here.

I've been crunching for a few months, and went to the E@Home website to view my reults. To my horror, 90% of my results are listed as "client error"!

Is there something I can do to reduce this error rate?

Here I was thinking I was doing all this work every time my email hesitated - but as it turns out all that woe was for naught! :)

Thanks,

G

Look at the error messages for your results that have failed. A typical error message looks like this

Failed to open checkpoint-file for writing. Exiting.

This indicates a permissions problem: the BOINC client running on your machine can't write to the directory in which BOINC is installed.
