After successful installation of the BOINC Manager
my Einstein@Home project startet successfully, but on each trial to use the menu command

Assistant>Account administration

the wizard fails to complete the second page (where I provide my account information (email/passwd).

The following is a copy of the message page:

21.12.2006 15:31:25||Fetching configuration file from http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/get_project_config.php
21.12.2006 15:32:12||Contacting account manager at http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/
21.12.2006 15:32:14||Account manager error: HTTP file not found

The last line shows the error, which I always get.

Any ideas?

Account administration does not work

An account manager is a 3rd party site, through which you can attach to multiple projects at the same time.

You want to use the "Attach to Project" option instead.

If I correctly understand

Message 58199 in response to message 58198

If I correctly understand you, I never need the account administration, because its sufficient to be attached to a project, e.g. to Einstein@Home? In this case
everything is fine, because I have already "cheched in" into Einstein@Home via
the mentioned "attach" option.

Thanks and Greetings from Bremen,

Correct, unless you want to use the Boinc Account Manager 3rd party site to manage all projects you want to attach to.

I do not use it, so I do not know how it works, I am a do it yourself type of person.
