Hi I using boinc (yes I have latest version) many months without problems and now still in messages are: Scheduler request failed: Error 417

so I can not upload or download. Using proxy no.

Using google give me advice: look to cc_config.xml and check if http connection has version 1.0, but where is cc_config.xml? I have Linux and try to found this file by file manager search and nothing found. Your wiki webpages are feebleness about this file.

In the last revision, everything compiles well but when you try to create a project you obtain an error from MySQL saying that you have a syntax error. The problem is two typos in the last table. Adjoining is the patch to fix that problem (I have tested myself, anyway please check it before applying).

The permissions after installing BOINC on Windows (Windows 7 at least) are completely broken for the non-administrator accounts. The installer has an option to allow other users to control BOINC; it is initially greyed out, but is enabled after clicking the advanced button at one step in the installer. However, it doesn't work. After the installer finishes and the system is rebooted, the manager fails to run as a non-adminstrator account.

In the user account, there is a shortcut to BOINC which gives a permission error when you try to run it. I encountered further permission problems which I eventually gave up on, and ended up using the administrator account. This is overall an easy to encounter and a disastrous install experience, particularly for an average user. It's easier to describe the problem with screenshots of the process, so attached are a series screenshots walking through the failed install experience.

Only tested on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit; it may or may not effect other Windows versions but it probably does.
