I get my account key and completed install BOINC client ports in my FreeBSD PC. But I can not found the document to configure it to start operation. I am thanks to anybody can give me the hint to make it work.

Hi RedeyeTW

If you have managed to get the software installed, then the next stage would be to get the client running and attached to the malariacontrol.net project.

Because it can be quite complex to go in depth into this process through the message boards, the Wiki maintainers have a number of HowTo documents that you could follow to assist you at this stage.

I would suggest that you find the one closest to the stage that you are at, and follow it as much as possible. If you get stuck or are unsure of something, you could post again here explaining which document you are following and where in the document you are confused or stuck, and hopefully someone can help you to understand or to get unstuck.

Once you have net/boinc-client port installed

1) put this line into /etc/rc.conf
boinc_enable="YES"

malariacontrol does not provide FreeBSD binary. instead, you can use Linux app.

2) load linux compatibility layer into kernel

kldload linux

3) make sure it's loaded on next reboot, add this line to /boot/loader.conf

linux_load="YES"

4) install userland part of linux emulator

cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-fc4
make install clean

5) create directory /var/db/boinc/projects/malariacontrol.net

6) download this executable into it

https://malariacontrol.net/download/malariacontrol_5.33_i686-pc-linux-gnu

7) execute brandelf on it

brandelf -t Linux malariacontrol_5.33_i686-pc-linux-gnu

8) set it executable

chmod a+x malariacontrol_5.33_i686-pc-linux-gnu

9) download this file into the same directory

http://raven.oook.cz/malaria/app_info.xml

10) start boinc

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/boinc start

or

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/boinc.sh start

depending on your version of FreeBSD

11) send yourself an account key from this url

https://malariacontrol.net/get_passwd.php

12) attach the malariacontrol project to your user account

boinc_cmd --project_attach malariacontrol.net a4d8d5d(your.account.key)as8d


A bit of handwork, but it should work.

Forgot important step!

After step 5, chown the directory to the user under which boinc is running

chown boinc /var/db/boinc/projects/malariacontrol.net

otherwise file downloads will fail.

A bit of handwork, but it should work.

Once you have net/boinc-client port installed

..... Sorry, I cut it off ....

12) attach the malariacontrol project to your user account

boinc_cmd --project_attach malariacontrol.net a4d8d5d(your.account.key)as8d


A bit of handwork, but it should work.

Yes, please re-read post 999 - I missed one step in the instructions. You have to chmod the malariacontrol's project directory, otherwise this will happen.
