Include some XML in <configfiles> tag
by David Angot 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hello, I have a tool that takes an XML file as input. So I thought it would be a good idea to put it in the <configfiles> tag, to replace some of the variables. Quick example : .... <inputs> <param name="posfile" type="data" label="Posfile" help="Posfile you want to input to POSGEN" format="pos" /> </inputs> <configfiles> <configfile name="loadTestxml"> <!DOCTYPE crystal SYSTEM "/usr/share/sgml/crystal.dtd">  <crystal> <version value="0.0.1"/> <posload name="${posfile}"/> </crystal> </configfile> </configfiles> .... But when I load the tool configuration, it seems that the XML in <configfile> is interpreted, and/or I don't get anything in the input file. Is there a way to do what I want ? Cheers, -- David

FTP uploading errors and BigWig conversion
by Kristin Denise Kernohan 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hello I have been dealing with 2 problems for several weeks and am hoping you can provide assistance: #1 - File uploads seem to be very inconsistent. I am using an FTP server, the files upload to the FTP fine - but when I assign them to upload in Galaxy, they often enter a que which I have let run for up to a week and they do not transfer. If I keep restarting it then sometimes they will transfer in a minute, while the same file will enter a que and not transfer minutes later. The files I am using are fairly small (20MB) so I cannot see why there are so many difficulties uploading them. #2- The Bedgraph/Wig to BigWig conversion tool - is it normal for this to take 1.5-2 weeks to run? Every once and awhile I get lucky and it runs in ~12 hours, but other files started at the same time are taking up to 2 weeks to convert. I greatly appreciate any advice you can provide to rectify these situations Kristin Kernohan

API - Status 403 Forbidden
by Rob Leclerc 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

I'm trying to use the blend4j to access the Galaxy API, but I'm getting a 403 error, however when I pass the same request string through my browser I get a json response (Status 200). //Here is the URL string being passed in both cases: http://localhost:8080/api/histories?key=c5954f0e726e52da297cdad5ad4aa249 //Below are the Galaxy logs emitted on my localhost: 127.0.0.1 - - [07/Mar/2013:21:12:01 -0400] "GET /api/histories?key=c5954f0e726e52da297cdad5ad4aa249 HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_2) AppleWebKit/537.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1364.155 Safari/537.22" 127.0.0.1 - - [07/Mar/2013:21:12:24 -0400] "GET /api/histories?key=c5954f0e726e52da297cdad5ad4aa249 HTTP/1.1" 403 - "-" "Java/1.6.0_41" I'm not sure if this is related or not, because I can logout in my browser and still hit the local server without getting a 403, but how do I login (and logout) through the API to set up a session because I assume that the API key is only valid for the logged in user? Is there an API request for the login? Cheers, Rob

Galaxy Reports: 'unfinished jobs' seems not to do the job
by Joachim Jacob | VIB | 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi all, I make increasingly use of the Galaxy Reports tool. Until recently I started it and shut it down again. Now I run it continuously. I have noticed that a lot of the jobs listed in 'unfinished jobs' are actually finished. Any hint on how to clean up the database? Which table? Perhaps I can make a Trello card: 'Provide a button to remove the jobs from the unfinished jobs page' ? Thanks for taking me further, Joachim -- Joachim Jacob Rijvisschestraat 120, 9052 Zwijnaarde Tel: +32 9 244.66.34 Bioinformatics Training and Services (BITS) http://www.bits.vib.be @bitsatvib

Installing htseq-count via Toolshed: error installing dependency.
by Joachim Jacob | VIB | 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi all, Installing htseq-count with dependencies fails on my system: htseq-count installs four dependencies (numpy, picard, samtools, htseq) , of which one fails (htseq), strangely enough. The error is: error: can't create or remove files in install directory The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/apps/htseq/0.5.3p9/lparsons/htseq_count/f320093f1e8e/lib64/python/test-easy-install-856.pth' The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was: /apps/htseq/0.5.3p9/lparsons/htseq_count/f320093f1e8e/lib64/python/ This directory does not currently exist. Please create it and try again, or choose a different installation directory (using the -d or --install-dir option). The /apps directory is completely owned by Galaxy. I tried to create that missing directory (reported above), but got a little stuck, since uninstalling the dependency removed that directory again. The tool created the folder /apps/htseq/0.5.3p9/lparsons/htseq_count/f320093f1e8e with contents: INSTALLATION.log lib Next I looked to the tool_dependency.xml, but with my limited experience did not see something obvious. Thanks for any hint, (prefer to get the installation working from the toolshed) Joachim -- Joachim Jacob Rijvisschestraat 120, 9052 Zwijnaarde Tel: +32 9 244.66.34 Bioinformatics Training and Services (BITS) http://www.bits.vib.be @bitsatvib
