Unable to connect to Folding@Home client on OS X?

Post by Perzec »

So, I just installed Folding@Home and once finished, it sends me to a web page where it tries to connect to the Folding@Home Client. And is unable to do so. I've tried several times already. Any thoughts on what I should do?

I'm on an iMac, latest version of OS X. I am able to start the FAHViewer and the FAHControl apps, but that doesn't make any difference whatsoever.

If using Chrome, see #7 of this FAQ - viewtopic.php?f=106&t=32463

If using Safari for Web Control, I find that changing the https in the URL to http will work. It may take a reload or two.

(edit- I have added the above workaround to the FAQ)
