That's what the first paragraphs, and the first step, are about :) But they probably need expanding. > I didn't see where you addressed functions inside a project -- apologies > if I missed that. I didn't. In the entire page, I assume the standard URL layout: example.com/project/ example.com/project_cgi/cgi example.com/project_cgi/file_upload_handler My statement about multiple projects in one hostname is from past experience too. y...@home used to be in www.rechenkraft.net/yoyo, but then they had to move the BOINC project out of the server hosting the Rechenkraft website, changing the URL to boinc.rechenkraft.net/yoyo. Your idea to have different hostnames per function is a good one. If we do a better URL naming guide, I'd add a pet peeve: don't use boinc.whatever.com! It sucks for browser history. You type "boinc." in the address bar and dozens of projects show up. And BOINC main website. While if you type 'pri' you probably get Primegrid immediately. > Your information is needed, because no matter how hard one tries, there > will always be those who picked a URL, and didn't plan ahead. The reason I wrote those instructions is that I have seen multiple times that admins change the URL thinking it's trivial, and then they can't contact the scheduler, workunits fail when downloading the app, etc. because they don't realize how many places still have the old URL. It mostly happens with non-public projects, though. People who use http://localhost/test/ as master URL in the first attempt, and then they want to try with a second machine on their LAN... -- Nicolas
