After the upgrade, when I try to fetch work, I get the following message:

'Scheduler Request Failed:  Http File not found'

Any ideas how to resolve?

Thanks

Use the manual 'update' function in BOINC Manager to force an update.  If necessary, keep doing so until you see a message in the event log along the lines, "Master file download succeeded" or something similar.  After that, things will go back to normal.

 

Cheers,

We have identified the

We have identified the problem. We are exploring ways to fix it. Until then the best way is to let it fail (via clicking update) until a new copy of the master file is downloaded (I think it is 10 failures). Then you will get the correct scheduler URL which was changed months ago but BOINC doesn't update when there is no need. A side effect of the switch to einsteinathome.org is that the really old scheduler URLs are not working anymore.

The old/outdated scheduler

The old/outdated scheduler URL does work again. However, switching to the current one via "Update" is a good idea nonetheless.
