BOINC reports project successfully added when it is not

[makeasnek]

Describe the bug

Minor bug but thought it should be reported regardless. Came across this bug while trying to add a project built from boinc-server-docker. I originally built the docker image w the IP of 127.0.0.1 but then tried to change it to a local IP (edited config.xml and html/user/schedulers.txt, then did bin/stop, bin/start and everything appeared to work).

Then, in BOINC manager (8.10, windows x64), on another machine, I did add project and created a new account. That process appeared to go smoothly with BOINC manager reporting the project had been added succesfully, however it does not appear in the project list. When the browser window opened to finish account creation at account_finish.php?auth=, the auth component has no value (in the URL bar, but perhaps it was forwarded idk) and the loaded page says "Unable to handle request no such account".

Clearly re-installing BOINC server with the correct IP will fix this issue.
