    I'm running BOINC under Linux. I can't seem to get it to work. I keep getting error code 500. I have a router and turned off the firewall, and the problem still persisted. I set the DMZ attribute to my IP, and still the same. I can't figure out what the problem could be!?! Can anyone help me out?

      Can you browse the web? Are you using a proxy?

        I can browse the web and I don't have a proxy. The message is the standard message that others have posted.

          Could you *please* post the messages here. It is simply to determine
          which BOINC version you are running, what you have done to provoke the error,
          what other projects you are running, if you are using any optimized clients and much more.

                That is bad. I checked the E@H scheduler logs and found the following strange entry.

                (This assumes I got your timezone right and your system clock is not far off; timeanddate says EDT is UTC-4.)

                It looks like the scheduler request is corrupt. As to what can cause this I have no idea. Could you retry, so I can recheck the scheduler logs?

                Can you attach, or are you attached, to other projects?

                PS: After looking at the scheduler log again I noticed:

                That was no BOINC client, but a perl module. Someone up to sth. nasty?

                    I did a virus scan using ClamAV and Aegis and nothing was found. I also looked at the data sheet for the virus and it says that the virus takes advantage of a vulnerability in Mambo. The problem is, I don't have Mambo installed on my system.
