Creating a Project - Getting the server system up and running

From Unofficial BOINC Wiki

Right, now you have a BOINC project buried somewhere in your file system.

If you left the default location for installation, it will be in:

~/projects/$PROJECTNAME

Now you can cd to that path in your terminal session, we will need it later.

[edit] Setting up the website

In that folder, there will be a file named $PROJECTNAME.httpd.conf

Add that to your httpd.conf file to set up the project at http://<servername>/$PROJECTNAME

For example:

cat $PROJECTNAME.httpd.conf >> /path/to/httpd.conf

will append the contents of $PROJECTNAME.httpd.conf onto an existing httpd.conf file.

Then run

apachectl restart

or

apachectl graceful

or

apache2ctl restart

Note:

For the Apple Macintosh the command required is usually sudo apachectl graceful which will invoke the "super-user" privileges required, and will also require the "super-user" password.

Note:

The command may be different on different flavours of linux, be sure you know what your command is.

Then the website will be up.

Try browsing to http://<servername>/$PROJECTNAME

Now we just need to create some work.
