Duel Processors for Folding-- Help

[Athlonman]

Sorry, I keep trying to set this up on my dual, but it won't work.

It keeps saying that there is already a F@H client running when I go to start up the other one.......

I renamed the targets to

"C:\Program Files\Folding2@Home\winFAH2.exe" -local


"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winFAH.exe" -local

Why wont this work?

They are both in there own directories......

 

[Ebola]

This is how I have my targets set up on my dually

"C:\Program Files\fah1\FAH2Console-v217.exe" -local
"C:\Program Files\fah2\FAH2Console-v217processor2.exe" -local

I think you need different folders for each client

It is because you need to use the console ver. to get it to work. The graphical ver. puts an entry in the registry.

I see the problem. I am assuming that you have set up two separate directories and have installed the client in each directory.

You need to download the test only client to make this work. Some names have changed on the 2.0 version. The console client used to be like the text only version. The gui client won't work for this.
Here is the official release of the text only version
http://folding.stanford.edu/release/FAH2Console.exe

Here is the 2.17 beta which seems to be pretty good.
http://folding.stanford.edu/beta/FAH2Console-v217.exe

When I try to change mine to that, it says I cant "the path and file name are incorrect"...........

My advice is to uninstall then install the console ver. not the gui ver. in two different directories then run one with the local flag then shut it down now run #2 with the local flag. Use ver. 2.17 found on the beta page. then you can run them both at the same time.

Just make sure you set your config info on both instances.

Just make sure you set your config info on both instances.

(That was me "Gandalf" on my friends comp - ClaytonComp - setting up those clients on the dual)

What do you mean by setting the config?

OH YAH!! TEAM 32!!!

UH OH!!!

How do I do that on the graphical version?

 

[Ploaf]

If you are using the graphical version then you can right click on the icon and the option to configure the client should appear in the menu.

With the text only version you will need to run the client with the
-config command flag. This is done the same way that you set the client up to run in the local directory, but instead of -local you use -config.

TY!

So once I am done with the -config I can go back to -local right?

 

[Ploaf]

Right. Just shut down the client and restart it. If I'm not mistaken this version of the client was written so that it would run locally anyway, but it's still best to specify it just in case.

Oh yeah. YW It took me a couple of glances to figure that one out.

All set up now!
