I downloaded eccp from their website, the gui/tray version. When it is loaded, it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Like i see no points, and no iterations per second.
Do I need to do anything to start it or it doesn't show for a long time?
Thanks
 
first time when i installed the dos window asked me for email and such, i put it in, the program showed all zero's, so i reinstalled 3 more times, got the same result, except those times my information was not asked. anyway i can do it over again?

I think the file that information is kept in is eccp109.ini, but its been a while since I looked. It should be in the directory that eccp is being run from.
 
webnewland,

The info that it asks you when you install is kept in the file userinf.txt. You can just edit that file to change your information.

The eccp109.ini file just keep certain client settings, such as constant internet connection, proxy settings, etc.

If the client seems to be doing nothing, can you check to see if it is getting any CPU time?
 
I just check my userinf file, and i think that might be the problem. this is what i see

y,y,y

what format should i replace it with?

how can i check if it's getting any cpu time?
Also, are those stats suppose to be real time or like it shows up after it finish a workunit?
 
the info in the userinf.txt should be in this format:

handle, e-mail address, real name

e.g., ladiesman, stud@hunk.net, JoeBlow


Hopefully that is what is causing the problem. If not, it depends upon what O/S you're using how to see if a job is running.

Here is my userinf.txt with my email address changed:
n0cmonkey,n0cmonkey@something_goes_here.com,n0c

If you are using a UNIX-like OS, try using top. If Windows NT based (NT/2k/XP), open task manager, select the processes tab, cluck on CPU to sort by cpu usage (%) and look for eccp on there. Not sure how to check on DOS (win9x).
 
You can try the ctrl-alt-delete process viewer thing and see if it has the ugly [Not Responding] thing beside the process.
 
In win9x you can use something like TaskInfo2002 to monitor processes.

Although I doubt it is the problem, you may want to confirm that the client has permission to write to the eccp directory.

I guess we need to start diagnosing this bit by bit. First I guess, list the files you have in your eccp folder, so we can be sure you've got them all.

If you have a plist and eccinfo file, delete them and restart the client. If that doesn't work, I'll have to think harder...

 
I had a similar problem two days ago.
Since ECCp is my main project I was eager to get things working right again.

What is my story:

I was trying an installer program to make a auto-install for the ECCp client, including config and user details. Machine is a P200 with Win95.
I copied the necessary files (program, userinf.txt and eccp109.ini) into a working dir and tried it before making the auto-install.
This is possible, since ECCp works from every dir and is not dependable from registry or other windows setting. Other necessary files should be made by the client.

To my surprise it didn't work. I tried several changes in the txt and ini file, but it would not start. Worse, I got the [not responding] message in task manager.
Then I copied all the files in the original dir to the working dir, tried it and it worked. So now I knew it had to do something with a file that was not present.
I started deleting unnecessary files one by one. When I got to plist (the file where all the worked-on point ranges are kept) I got the same situation, aka no start-up and after a minute a [not responding] message in task manager.

Don't know what went wrong, because normally the ECCp client should work without the plist file, especially with a first install.

Wanted to share this, because it looks similar to this situation.

Another option might be the cygwin.dll file that has to be put into the windows system dir. To my knowledge this is only necessary for the enhanced clients from Statsaholic, but you might never know.

I haven't looked at the official GUI client in a while, so I downloaded it and installed it, purposely giving it bad info in the queries for userinf.txt. The client fails to run if the userinf.txt is 'too' bad. I got it to run with y,yyy,y.

Even when I started out with y,y,y though, as soon as I edited the userinf.txt and restarted the client, it ran properly. So I don't know what to tell you.


Also, if you reinstall the client, make sure to delete the eccp109 folder first.
 
The plist file should never be copied. If you do you will be doing the same work on the new machine as on the old. All of the programs will create a plist file if one does not exist.
