Running jobs as real user and extra_file_path
by Louise-Amélie Schmitt 28 Apr '17

Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask how the extra_file_path is handled in case of job running as the real user since the file_path is only writable by the galaxy user. Any clue? Thanks, L-A

Upload issue in local installation
by Batsal Devkota 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

I installed galaxy locally in a linux server. However, I cannot upload the files (no matter how small, I have tried few kb size fasta files). When I try to upload, the link to the file shows up in the History and gets a new number (purple box). When I click on the link I get 'Dataset is uploading' forever. In the terminal window where I start galaxy, I get the following error report: 92.17.41.13 - - [02/Aug/2012:15:33:32 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1" 92.17.41.13 - - [02/Aug/2012:15:33:32 -0400] "GET /root/tool_menu HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://redhat:8080/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1" 92.17.41.13 - - [02/Aug/2012:15:33:32 -0400] "GET /history HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://redhat:8080/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1" 92.17.41.13 - - [02/Aug/2012:15:33:33 -0400] "POST /root/user_get_usage HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://redhat:8080/history" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1" 92.17.41.13 - - [02/Aug/2012:15:33:40 -0400] "GET /tool_runner?tool_id=upload1 HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://redhat:8080/root/tool_menu" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1" 92.17.41.13 - - [02/Aug/2012:15:33:59 -0400] "POST /tool_runner/upload_async_create HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://redhat:8080/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1" 92.17.41.13 - - [02/Aug/2012:15:33:59 -0400] "GET /tool_runner/upload_async_message HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://redhat:8080/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1" 92.17.41.13 - - [02/Aug/2012:15:33:59 -0400] "GET /history HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://redhat:8080/tool_runner/upload_async_message" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1" 92.17.41.13 - - [02/Aug/2012:15:33:59 -0400] "POST /root/user_get_usage HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://redhat:8080/history" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1" 92.17.41.13 - - [02/Aug/2012:15:34:04 -0400] "POST /root/history_item_updates HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://redhat:8080/history" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1" 92.17.41.13 - - [02/Aug/2012:15:34:08 -0400] "POST /root/history_item_updates HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://redhat:8080/history" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1" The last line keeps going for ever... writes new line every 4 secs.

Workflow param error leads to template error
by Paul-Michael Agapow 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Looking for pointers on what might be causing this problem: A user had a moderately complicated workflow that when run under certain parameter values results in a traceback that ends: Module workflow_run_mako:232 in render_body >> for ic in oc.input_step.module.get_data_inputs(): AttributeError: 'WorkflowStep' object has no attribute 'module' After some puzzling, I realized one of the parameters was outside the allowed range (a max on an integer param) and that Galaxy was trying to render "run.mako" flagging up the error but erroring out. Why Galaxy tries to call this non-existent member is unclear to me. Any insight or places I should start exploring?

Default value for data_column not working?
by Peter Cock 14 May '14

14 May '14

Hi all, I'm trying to write a new tool working with tabular data (specifically a Reciprocal Best Hits (RBH) tool using BLAST style tabular output). I want the user to be able to choose a column number (from one of the input files), but I have a default column in mind. However, Galaxy doesn't seem to obey the default column number: <inputs> <param name="a_vs_b" type="data" format="tabular" label="Hits from querying A against B" description="Tabular file, e.g. BLAST output" /> <param name="b_vs_a" type="data" format="tabular" label="Hits from querying B against A" description="Tabular file, e.g. BLAST output" /> <param name="id1" type="data_column" data_ref="a_vs_b" multiple="False" numerical="False" value="1" label="Column containing query ID" help="This is column 1 in standard BLAST tabular output" /> <param name="id2" type="data_column" data_ref="a_vs_b" multiple="False" numerical="False" value="2" label="Column containing match ID" help="This is column 2 in standard BLAST tabular output"/> <param name="score" type="data_column" data_ref="a_vs_b" multiple="False" numerical="False" value="12" label="Column containing containing score to rank on" help="The bitscore is column 12 in standard BLAST tabular output"/> </inputs> I've tried giving the default column value numerically (as shown), and also using value="c2" etc. Regardless, Galaxy just defaults to the first column. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Peter

FTP Problem: Users cannot see their uploads files.
by Misharl mon 07 Dec '13

07 Dec '13

Hi everybody, I have managed to get proftpd to work, it can connect to the galaxy sql database, and users can log to upload files in their directory. But there is a problem, when a galaxy user logs in the galaxy web platform, the user can't see his upload files since Galaxy doesn't have the rights to open the directory. How can i change the permissions in proftpd so that galaxy can open the user directory? Thanks in advance to all. Mish

Compressed data files in Galaxy? (e.g. GZIP or BGZF)
by Peter Cock 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hello all, What is the current status in Galaxy for supporting compressed files? We've talked about this before, for example in addition to FASTQ, many of us have expressed a wish to work with gzipped FASTQ. I understand that some have customized their local Galaxy installations to use gzipped FASTQ as a specific data type - I'm more interested in a general file format neutral solution. Also, I'd like to be able to used BGZF (not just GZIP) because it is better for random access - see for example http://blastedbio.blogspot.com/2011/11/bgzf-blocked-bigger-better-gzip.html - and makes it much easier to break up large datafiles for sharing over a cluster (i.e. it could be exploited in the current Galaxy code for splitting large sequence files). The 11 May 2012 Galaxy Development News Brief http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2012-May/009757.html mentions tabix indexing - that uses bgzip, so is there something general in place yet to allow tool wrappers to say they accept not just given file formats, but different compressed versions of file formats? Ideally I'd like to be able to write an XML tool description saying a tool produced BGZF compressed tabular data, or GZIP compressed Sanger FASTQ etc. Similarly, I'd like to specify my tool accepts FASTA or gzipped FASTA (including BGZF FASTA). While for older tools if they say they accept only uncompressed FASTA, Galaxy could automatically decompress any compressed FASTA entries in my history on demand. Peter

Re: [galaxy-dev] [galaxy-user] Inquiring

Hi Yan, I've moved this discussion to the galaxy-dev list since it pertains to a local installation of Galaxy. Responses to your questions follow, in-line.

See the error logs for more information.(To turn debug on > to display ...). Since debug = False in universe_wsgi.ini, you should be able to find a more detailed error message in the log file. If starting Galaxy with: % sh run.sh --daemon The default log file is 'paster.log' in Galaxy's root directory. > (2) Could you please let me know if there is any command to stop galaxy? If starting with the --daemon flag (as above), you can use: % sh run.sh --stop-daemon If running in the foreground, you can use Ctrl-C to terminate the process. There is a recent bug whereby Ctrl-C is ineffective on some platforms under Python 2.6 - in this case you will have to kill/pkill the process manually. We are working on a fix for the latter. > (3) If I reset universe_wsgi.ini file and want to set an administrator > user(I can add a line in the above file), how can I get the password? Should > I stop galaxy(See question 2) first? then run "./setup.sh" and "./run.sh". setup.sh would have only been necessary prior to running Galaxy the first time, however, this step has recently been removed. If you are referencing documentation that still refers to setup.sh, please let us know so we can update it - I did notice this was still on the "Production Server" page, so I removed it from there. You no longer need to run setup.sh at all. > (4) If I run "setup.sh", will a new file "universe_wsgi.ini" be generated? > if I want to change this file,should I edit it before "run.sh" and after > "setup.sh".

Reserved variables in param tags
by Kohler Manuel 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hi, I have a question regarding the param tag. I would like to pass on the user email to a external python script. I tried to use it like this: <param name="email" type="hidden" value=$__user_email__ /> <param name="experiment" type="select" label="Experiment" help="select Experiment" refresh_on_change="true" dynamic_options="getExperiments(email)"/> This does not work. Ideally I would like to have something like this: dynamic_options="getExperiments($__user_email__)" Has someone done this before?

samtools BAM to SAM tmp directory
by Matt Shirley 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Is there a reason that the samtools BAM to SAM does not respect the new_file_path set in the config file? The tmp directory handling by different tool wrappers seems to be an issue right now on systems with small system tmp directories. -- Matt Shirley Ph.D Candidate - BCMB Pevsner Lab <http://pevsnerlab.kennedykrieger.org/> Johns Hopkins Medicine
