Running Galaxy behind apache2
by CHEBBI Mohamed Amine 14 May '12

14 May '12

Hi Galaxy team ; I'am trying to put Galaxy into a production environment behind apache2 : I followed the tuto in http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Apache%20Proxyfor putting galaxy behind apache2 so I installed all the modules required (proxy-mod ; rewrite_mod etc ) and I configured the apache2.conf like above : RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/static/style/(.*) /usr/local/appli/Galaxy/ Galaxy_dist/static/june$ RewriteRule ^/static/scripts/(.*) /usr/local/appli/Galaxy/Galaxy_dist/static/sc$ RewriteRule ^/static/(.*) /usr/local/appli/Galaxy/Galaxy_dist/static/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/favicon.ico /usr/local/appli/Galaxy/Galaxy_dist/static/favicon.ic$ RewriteRule ^/robots.txt /usr/local/appli/Galaxy/Galaxy_dist/static/robots.txt$ RewriteRule ^(.*) http://localhost:8080$1 [P] I modified also the universe_wsgi.ini galaxy file by setting: host = 0.0.0.0 to enable Galaxy binding to any available network. After restarting apache, when t type http://xx.xxx.xx.xx:8080<http://92.243.19.84:8080/>it doesn't establish a connection.? Is there a configuration more to do? Thank you in advance

Problem related to a job that "failed"
by Kelkar, Hemant 14 May '12

14 May '12

All, This question pertains to a local galaxy install where the jobs are being submitted to a cluster running LSF. I periodically get an error from a galaxy job ("Job output not returned from cluster") even though the job completes properly on the cluster. In researching this issue our systems administrator discovered that the error seems to be happening because of NFS caching. The problem is that the job finishes on the job node, but the Galaxy server doesn't see that reflected in the output file because of delays in the cache update in NFS. The only solution he discovered was turning the caching off on the file system. In our case it is not possible because it will lead to a performance hit that would be not acceptable on the shared cluster. Most other file systems on the cluster are "NFS" so moving the database/pbs folder to another file system is not an option. I generally work around the NFS cache issue but now it is leading to a second problem. Since the job appears to be in some failed state to galaxy (it shows up as red in history) I can't seem to use the output file (even though it is there and I can see it using the "eye" icon) to move to the next step. The file attribute is set right. I assume a possible solution may be to reset the "failed" flag on the history item. Would this need to be done in the database? Downloading and then re-uploading the result file (a 25+ GB SAM file in this case) may be a workaround but it is not very practical. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks, Hemant

POST and WSGI
by Nikolai Vazov 11 May '12

11 May '12

Hi, I am trying to set up Galaxy with an IdP. Yet, after the autentication, the SAML data coming via POST method to the WSGI (Galaxy) dissappears. I can only see it in a Firefox add-on, scrolling, but there is no way I can get hold of it in order to validate the users. Any idea how one can get environ[wsgi.input].body or similar in controllers/user.py finctions? Some global var with this? Thank you in advance Nikolay -- Nikolay Vazov, PhD Research Computing Centre - http://hpc.uio.no USIT, University of Oslo

cloudman on ubuntu 12.04
by Jorrit Boekel 11 May '12

11 May '12

Dear list, I have tried to use cloudman on ubuntu 12.04 (with mi-deployment scripts). It didn't run very smooth. One of the issues seems to be that SGE depends on libc.so.6, which is not in the location where cloudman expects it. If not fixed yet, I'll create a pull request for the fix (two lines or so in sge.py). cheers, jorrit boekel

Re: [galaxy-dev] [galaxy-user] default data for a tool
by alex 10 May '12

10 May '12

Hi, I would like to write my xmls in a way that reduces the amount of effort a casual guest user would require to try a tool from my local galaxy install. For example, in the remove_beginning tool I would like to set it up in a way that I could tell someone to do this: 1) go to the website that has my local galaxy install 2) click on the 'remove_beginning' tool from the left panel of the galaxy page 3) click on the 'execute' button to see how the tool works But right now they would have to somehow import data before they 'execute' the tool. In comparison, the Mobyle interface includes a "use example data" link corresponding to step 2.5) click the 'use example data' link near each field that requires data I am not an experienced galaxy user or administrator and I'm just wondering if there is anything like this in galaxy to make it simpler for casual users who are curious to see what the tool does with default data but not curious enough to go through multiple steps to import some example data.
