You can run this virtual machine using the [http://www.vmware.com/download/player/ VMWare player] and any Intel-based computer (Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X). If you take this approach, skip the rest of this page.25 26 * A BOINC server package is available for [http://wiki.debian.org/BOINC/Server Debian]. 24 * The easiest way to set up a BOINC server is to use a [VmServer BOINC server VM] that we've created for that purpose, with all the necessary software already installed.

General instructions are given below, followed by a [#cookbook-debian40 a cookbook for setting up a BOINC server on a Debian 4.0 system]. … … 32 32 BOINC server programs run as two different users: 33 33 * The scheduler and file upload handler are CGI programs, so they run as the same user as the web server (on Fedora this is user '`apache`'; on Debian it's '`www-data`'). 34 * BOINC daemons runs as whoever created the project (let's say user '`boincadm`', group '`boinc`'). 34 * BOINC daemons runs as whoever created the project (let's say user '`boincadm`', group '`boinc`'). '''Do not run BOINC daemons (or anything else) as root'''. 35 35 36 36 By default, the directories created by user apache are not world-writable. This causes problems: for example, when the file upload handler creates a directory in the [DirHierarchy upload hierarchy], it's owned by (apache, apache), and the [FileDeleter file deleter] (which runs as `boincadm`) won't be able to delete the files there. … … 67 67 You may also need to change the ownership of these directories and all their subdirectories to `boincadm/boinc`. If you're running several projects on the same server and want to isolate them from each other, you can create a different user and group for each project, and add `apache` to all of the groups. 68 68 69 When serving your project files from Apache, note that all directories up to and including the html directory must have execute permissions. For example, if you use make_project to create the project template in your home directory, your home directory must have 711 permissions as opposed to the default of 700. If this is not corrected, you will receive a '''403 Forbidden''' error when attempted to browse to your project page. See [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/FAQ.html#forbidden more information ]on dealing with Apache permissions problems].69 When serving your project files from Apache, note that all directories up to and including the html directory must have execute permissions.
