Detaching from project - check for URL error

[edit] General

Message Type: Warning Message

This Message means that the BOINC Client Software could not locate the Project's Servers. Probably because the Participant tried to attach to the project using wrong Project Master URL.

The correct Project Master URL is http://climateprediction.net not http://climateprediction.net1/ or http://climateprediction.net. or some other combination.

The most likely cause of this happening occurs by copying and pasting URL from the email but accidently grabbing an extra character, such as the period at the end of the last example above. The hardest ones to catch are the ones where you grab an extra space at the front or back of the Project Master URL.

[edit] Can't Resolve Hostname - Host Not Found

Note:
In this log example, I tried to attach to a Project with a "bogus" URL, just to make this set of messages ... but this is still the error you would get regardless of the reason that the URL is bad.

Line-By-Line Explanation

The "host-name" used is in error, usually caused by incorrect typing or copying of the URL when "Attaching" the BOINC Client Software to a BOINC Powered Project.
Because the Project's Master URL was wrong, the Project's Master Page could not be read.
Please check the URL and try again.
The BOINC Client Software is offering a hint as to the problem.
And, because of that, we have to "Detach" From The Project, which includes a Project "Reset".
