Hi list
I run prime95/mprime on my personal machine, which I have dualbooting
win98SE and Linux (Redhat 6.1). So I have mprime working out of the
prime95 directory (with the -W switch).
To submit results etc. I have to connect through a proxy, so I have made
a primenet.ini file, as the readme.txt file (and ips faq) states. It
currently looks as follows:
[PrimeNet Proxy]
ProxyHost=<removed>
ProxyUser=<removed>
ProxyPass=<removed>
ProxyMask=1
EntropiaIP=216.120.70.80
This works in windows, but in Linux mprime reports "ERROR 2250: Server
unavailable". As can be seen, I have tried the faq answer
(EntropiaIP=..), without succes. Also, I remember seeing mprime report
"Illegal line in INI file: [PrimeNet Proxy]" which is ok, since this
line isn't mentioned in the Linux readme, but if I remove it, reporting
stops working in win, and mprime goes to just the 2250 error (as far as
I remember). In Linux I run version 20.4.2 of mprime, glibc-2.1.2-11 and
libc-5.3.12-31. I also have the primenet.ini file located in the
directory where mprime is installed, without the line [PrimeNet Proxy],
but I can see this isn't being used as ProxyMask=1 isn't being set, and
my password isn't encoded.
In the ips faq, the link at "you will need to download v20" in the
answer regarding this problem points to
"ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/sprime-v19.1.tar.gz" I tried downloading
sprime v20 (as this link suggested to me), but it also reports the
illegal line in primenet.ini, and error 2250. Havn't tried removing it
the line, as I'm pretty sure prime95 then stops working.
Anyone has an idea of how I should get this running in Linux?
And in the end, I'm joining the choir of "Please try to avoid html
messages on the mersenne-list", they are quite hard to decipher when
reading the digest which they also double the length of.
Hoping for a solution, or an explanation of what I've missed.
