The projects write their data into a sub directory of the <data_dir_path>. You can't change this.
If you want to move the data path to someplace else: 1) Stop BOINC 2) Move the entire directory tree of <data_dir_path> to the new location (and it must NOT be a windows protected directory such as "Program Files" 3) Re-install BOINC (or hand edit the config files and possibly registry, if you are that brave). Make certain to point the directory to the new place. 4) Start BOINC -----Original Message----- From: boinc_dev [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jussi Lahtinen Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2014 9:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [boinc_dev] Client configuration I expected this: "<data_dir>path</data_dir> Use the given directory as the BOINC data directory (default: current directory)." To mean path where boinc writes project related data. Apparently no, because I lost all configurations (I assume that is because the path is used to find configs also). So, how do I change where project data is written?
