sample v8 config.xml file

[Fldngbob]

I have begun the shift from v7 to v8. I've gotten my main desktop to run FAH v8.4 running in the background.

Now, the headless machines are a whole different story. The https://foldingathome.org/guides/v8-4-client-guide/ says in the section Manually Connecting Machines "Then pass the account token using the account-token configuration option in the config.xml configuration file and restarting the client." So, I created this following the v7 style:

Code: Select all

/etc/fah-client/config.xml
<config/>
  <account-token v='big-long-string-of-numbers-and-letters-from-my-account-page'/>
</config>

But it is not that simple.

I tried some variations but, no love. Searching for a sample file of a headless config.xml file is difficult and, so far, unfindable. Does anyone have an example of a functional headless config.xml file?

It should start
<config>

Thank you Calxalot for catching that initial typo!
If you hadn't caught that error I would have been "forever" discovering it on my own.
And of course thank you for the link to the forum post regarding config.xml on headless.

IMHO, I would suggest that some admin should add a link (perhaps) from the https://foldingathome.org/guides/v8-4-client-guide/ in the Manually Connecting Machines section to this forum post https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-cl ... nt-8419751 for others FAH users experiencing this information challenge.

I am happy to report that I have my first headless client folding with v8.4.9 (current version as of post posting date.)

Thank you Calxalot for your help!
