Hi,

I'm running CentOS 6.5 64bits.

I've been running BOINC for years, installing it locally (running the .sh script in a directory, with the configuration and logs saved there).

After some system updates, BOINC (old 6.x version) stopped working. Trying to update to BOINC 7 I discovered that (due to library version incompatibility, etc) I could better install it via YUM (using EPEL repositories). Now It's installed and working, but It doesn't read my "old" configuration files.

Is there any "easy way" to tell BOINC "take my old configuration files from /home/myuser/BOINC/"?

I cannot spend more time on it, and I'd like to continue running BOINC on this computer.

Loads of. Move files in directory where client looks for them (permissions/ownership changes provided); client has '--dir' option; symlink files (probably worst case). I would recommend: disable system-wide client, create symlink legacy-boinc-data-dir/boinc-client (or whatever it was) to system-installed client (probably /usr/bin/boinc-client, it's debian here), and ignite it the way you did for years.

I'm counting for science,
points just make me sick.
