Read the following steps carefully. They are essential for BoincTasks- M to work properly.
Install BOINC.
First of all you need to install BOINC.
Configure your computers with fixed IP addresses.
Next, assign static IP addresses to all computers that will be connected.
The best way to do this is to configure the router to assign static IP addresses.
Most routers can assign IP addresses to devices using their MAC addresses.
Allow access to the BOINC client.
Since mobile devices usually don’t have fixed IP addresses, allow access to the BOINC client from all IP addresses on your local network.
In order to do so, we need to edit or create the cc_config.xml file.
Windows: F:\ProgramData\BOINC
Linux: /var/lib/boinc
Mac: Open the Terminal:
cd /Library/Application Support/BOINC Data/
nano cc_config.xml
Paste <cc_config> below.
If it’s not present, create the cc_config.xml file.
Paste the following text, making sure to copy plain text.
<cc_config>
<options>
<allow_remote_gui_rpc>1</allow_remote_gui_rpc>
</options>
</cc_config>
Next, restart BOINC to apply the changes.
Windows: Log out and log back in.
Linux: In the terminal: /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart
Mac: Restart the computer.
Edit the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file.
Windows: F:\ProgramData\BOINC
Linux: /var/lib/boinc
Mac: Open the Terminal:
cd /Library/Application Support/BOINC Data/
nano gui_rpc_auth.cfg
Either copy the password or create your own.
If you change the password, you will need to restart BOINC, as shown above.
