trying to setup folding at home on ubuntu with fahcontrol
Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2021 4:27 pm
So I am trying to setup a folding at home client on a Ubuntu server PC and then connect to it from a windows 10 PC with fahcontrol. However when I installed folding at home on the Ubuntu PC it gave this error message when installing
so I have no clue what that means and the only other person having the same issue on the forums no one responded to their post.
So now I can start folding at home with the command FAHClient however when starting it says So I assume that means that folding at home is already running however I cannot connect to it with fahcontrol on my main PC it just says connecting.
I have been trying to edit the config.xml and I found a guide on how to do that but i cant post urls so I have followed that but when i try to change the config to what is in the tutorial and try to restart it with /etc/init.d/FAHClient restart
it just says fail and when i try to run it with the command FAHClient it says this AND THEN it says that my config.xml is not right so please i need some help i just wanna run folding at home on my server pc and control it with fah control on my main pc
