Make Project Script

[edit] General
The BOINC System Software provides a script make_project for creating the server components of a BOINC Powered Project. It has been tested on Linux and Solaris.
First, install all components listed in the Software Prerequisites for Hosting a BOINC Project. Then run the Make Project Script. For example:
cd tools/
./make_project cplan
creates a project with master URL http://<hostname>/cplan/ whose directory structure is rooted at $HOME/projects/cplan.
More specifically, make_project does the following:
- Create the Project Directory and its subdirectories.
- Create the project's encryption keys if necessary. NOTE: before making the project visible to the public, you must move the code-signing private key to a highly secure (preferably non-networked) Host, and delete it from the server host.
- Create and initialize the MySQL BOINC Database
- Copy source and executable files
- Generate the project's configuration file.
The script gives further instructions, namely
- It generates a template Apache config file that you can insert into /etc/apache/httpd.conf (path varies), or Include directly.
- It generates a crontab line to paste.
The command-line syntax is as follows:
make_project [options] project_name [ 'Project Long Name ' ]

| --project_root | Project root directory path. Default: $HOME/projects/PROJECT_NAME | ||||||
