Was checking my message log for errors and found this:

6/18/2007 8:04:02 AM||Contacting account manager at http://bam.boincstats.com/
6/18/2007 8:04:03 AM||Account manager contact succeeded
6/18/2007 8:04:03 AM||[error] No signing key from account manager
6/18/2007 8:04:03 AM||[error] Inconsistent signing key from account manager
6/18/2007 8:04:19 AM||Removing account manager info

What does it mean and how do I fix it?

Now the machine is not connected to BAM! and when I try to reconnect it states
"The account manager is temporarily unavailable."

Guess it happened during a daily update to BAM!. What happened?

Thanks,
[BOINCstats] Willy

Probably a database connection error.

Check the acct_mgr_reply.xml file in your BOINC directory.

It starts with

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<acct_mgr_reply>
<name>BOINCstats BAM!</name>
<signing_key>
whole bunch of numbers
</signing_key>
<repeat_sec>21600</repeat_sec>

If there isn't a whole bunch of numbers where is says 'whole bunch of numbers' then the problem is with BAM!, if the numbers are there it's client (your) side.

Edit: added the filename

I figured out what my problem was by typing bam.boincstats.com into my web browser and :
Access Denied

The website you are trying to access has been blocked by the Barracuda Web Filter because it is in the Forums & Newsgroups category.

If you believe this is an error or need to access this link please contact your administrator.


URL: http://bam.boincstats.com


I have asked the IT folks to remove that link from the filter but the response I got was that it came from Barracuda that way. Interesting thing is that they let me in to this domain and into the forums. Go figure.

Great. So they block BAM!

I tried to find some rules or reasons why the block specific URL's but from the few I found I can't find a relationship with BAM!.

<html>
<head>
<title>OpenDNS</title>
</head>

<body id="mainbody" onLoad="testforbanner();" style="margin: 0px;">
<script language="JavaScript">
function testforbanner() {
var width;
var height;
var x = 0;
var isbanner = false;
var bannersizes = new Array(16)
bannersizes[0] = '300x250';
bannersizes[1] = '250x250';
bannersizes[2] = '240x400';
bannersizes[3] = '336x280';
bannersizes[4] = '180x150';
bannersizes[5] = '468x60';

I'm not familiar with the line mode of BOINC, but i tried some things on my own xp-host:
Try to delete the file acct_mgr_reply.xml, it will be made again when using the command:
boinccmd --acct_mgr_rpc bam.boincstats.com/ [username] [password]
Note the slash in the url. At least, that works on my host.
Other suggestion: could be install-related problem. Is this a new host? Try re-installing Boinc, use the latest non-beta version and use the 'Prepare new host'-function of BAM! to attach to the desired projects.
