Hello,

I'm unable to synchronize with BOINCstats/BAM!, either automatically or manually.

The BOINC Manager version I'm using is:
Version: 7.0.25 (x64)
wxWidgets Version: 2.8.10

This is running on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64

Account information
BOINCstats BAM ID: 62681
CPID: 74a2e9e216b0c3a1b77e4bf6b760edca
Username: BigDave67
Hostname: db001


I'm getting messages like the following whenever an update to BOINCstats/BAM! is attempted, automatic or manual:

4/12/2012 7:01:30 PM | BOINCstatsBAM! | Message from account manager:

Thanks,

The problem may have cleared itself. I was just able to run a manual sync, without errors.

There also doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your XML. Are you sure this was the XML that produced the error?

Those were the .xml files from immediately after the errors.

There have been no errors since then, it has been syncing automatically and manually since.

BigDave

I see this error(s) too, it looks, as if it is coming up only sporadic:

02/05/2012 11:41:06 | BOINCstatsBAM! | Message from account manager: StartTag: invalid element name. Premature end of data in tag project_name line 337. Premature end of data in tag project line 335. Premature end of data in tag acct_mgr_request line 2.

When I manually reconnected to BAM half an hour later all seemed to be fine again ...

Yeti

On a different machine I get:

Computer Host Project Date ID Message
PMe W7 PMEW7 http://bam.boincstats.com/ 02.05.2012 10:24:19 160 Message from account manager: User not found or password wrong.

This machine could connect up to 2012-04-07.

I didn't change anything on the machine

What happened with BAM on 2012-04-07 ?

I see that several of my machines have last contact with BAM on this day.

On these machines, I get:
