URL prefix doesn't work properly in Galaxy v18.09
by Ping Luo
I configured URL prefix in galaxy 18.09. It has problems of resolving some
of the links, including:
workflow
visualize -> create visualization
shared data -> workflows
shared data -> visualizations
I will use workflow as an example to illustrate what happens. When the
mouse cursor is put on workflow, the URL shown in at the left bottom of the
browser shows
https://xxx.xxx.tamu.edu/galaxy/workflows/list
But after I clicked 'workflow', the real URL shown in the address bar is
actually
https://xxx.xxxx.tamu.edu/galaxy/galaxy//workflows/list?__identifer=sk0xs...
Of course, there is no such a page and the browser shows a blank page. If I
manually remove one galaxy in the URL, the page is correctly shown.
Beside the four mentioned above, other links work fine. If galaxy is
configured without prefix, then there is no problem.
I also tested v18.05. With all the configuration being the same, this
version doesn't have the problem with prefix like v18.09 does. So I think
this is a bug in v18.09 with URL prefix.

Nginx+Shibboleth+UCSC
by Martin Demko
Dear list,
I have been trying to manage an access to UCSC genome browser from our Galaxy
instance which uses Nginx as a proxy with external authentication via
Shibboleth and IdP service.
Not even the configuration of nginx+shibboleth was quite complicated to
achieve (but I succeeded after a week or so) but now during a testing phase, we
have found out that a cooperation with external UCSC servers is forbidden due
to our auth. configuration.
I have found a way how to do that but only for Apache (https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/special_topics/apache.html...) so I tried to do something similar in Nginx but only with IP addresses as Nginx doesn't support using of named domains and defined a location:
location /display_as {
satisfy any;
deny all;
allow 128.114.119.131;
allow 128.114.119.132;
allow 128.114.119.133;
allow 128.114.119.134;
allow 128.114.119.135;
allow 128.114.119.136;
}
Used IP addresses should be the right ones for UCSC servers according to few
sources such as (https://genome.soe.ucsc.narkive.com/sll2JSk2/ucsc-ip-address):
hgw1.cse.ucsc.edu
hgw2.cse.ucsc.edu
hgw3.cse.ucsc.edu
hgw4.cse.ucsc.edu
hgw5.cse.ucsc.edu
hgw6.cse.ucsc.edu
I tried to change the location also to "/display_application" but didn't help
(actually, I don't know why in the documentation there is used as the location
that "/display_as" as I have never encountered such location in Galaxy which is
my first question). In galaxy.ini I set:
display_servers = hgw1.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw2.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw3.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw4.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw5.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw6.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw7.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw8.cse.ucsc.edu,lowepub.cse.ucsc.edu,128.114.119.131,128.114.119.132,128.114.119.133,128.114.119.134,128.114.119.135,128.114.119.136
Just for case I used both, the domains and also IP addresses. Also I have
tried to use only the domains or only the addresses but nothing helped.
Then I found out after reading of the following (https://www.switch.ch/aai/guides/sp/access-rules/) that the main obstacle should be actually shibboleth so I defined in /etc/shibboleth/shibboleth2.xml an unrestricted path:
<RequestMapper type="XML">
<RequestMap>
<Host name="our.galaxy.something"
authType="shibboleth"
requireSession="true"
redirectToSSL="443" >
<Path name="display_application" requireSession="false" redirectToSSL="443" />
<!--Path name="display_as" authType="shibboleth" requireSession="false"
redirectToSSL="443" /-->
</Host>
</RequestMap>
</RequestMapper>
Again, I have tried to use both locations "display_as" and "display_application", but it
haven't solved my problem entirely. I moved forward I suppose because now the
requests
should be going around the authentication but UCSC stil warns me that:
Expected 200 https://our.galaxy.something/display_application/e1304269a2f56a52/ucsc_bi...: 403 Forbidden
Before that it was a different message containing the address of our idp
server so I believe I'am on the right way here. The presence of attribute
'authType="shibboleth"' seams to be useless as 'requireSession="false"' is
used.
Then I tried to teach Nginx to use also the domain names with the using of 3rd
party nginx-http-rdns module from (https://github.com/flant/nginx-http-rdns),
so my nginx.conf looked like:
....only the part of nginx.conf....
############## Shibboleth authentication conf #################
# FastCGI authorizer for Shibboleth Auth Request module

# }
....END of the part of nginx.conf....
Everything commented out, I tried to use together or one at the time but
nothing helped. But there are differences:
1) when uncommented only location /display_application - I will get just a
blank page with: 404 Not Found.
2) when uncommented only location /display_as - nothing changes.
3) when uncommented part inside the location "/" - I will get a new message:
Error unexpected end of input reading http header on https://our.galaxy.something/display_application/e1304269a2f56a52/ucsc_bi...
And now I'm out of ideas. I would really appreciate any help.
PS: I stil don't get why in the documentation for Apache configuration
(https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/special_topics/apache.html...)
there is used the /display_as location. Can somebody explain, please?
Thank you in advance,

Question using sftp to upload file to galaxy
by Rui Wang
Hey Folks,
I'm looking at the instructions of using ftp with proftpd. There is a
section talking about extending it to use sftp. However, the sample config
isn't comprehensive. I'm wondering if anyone has a working config for
reference?
What's the setting of user and group? It says it should match the one in
the SQLNamedQuery, what does it mean exactly? I start proftpd as root, but
start galaxy as bioinfoadmin(normal user with sudo).
Just fyi, my proftpd config module and config file are pasted below. I'm
working it out on a trial and error fashion, please feel free to point out
if anything is wrong!

Re: [galaxy-dev] [External] Copying files to FTP upload directory
by Keith Suderman
I have been creating directories for the users, but putting files in (for example) /home/galaxy/database/ftp/user(a)example.com <mailto:home/galaxy/database/ftp/user@example.com> does not make them available for the user(a)example.com <mailto:user@example.com> user in Galaxy.
Also for the list admins... I never did see my message appear on the list and the message Cicada replied to appears to be from galaxy-dev-bounces(a)lists.galaxyproject.org <mailto:galaxy-dev-bounces@lists.galaxyproject.org>. Any ideas why my message(s) appear to be bouncing. I am pretty sure I am sending from the correct address.
Cheers,

Bugfix for CollectRNAmetrics (Picardtools)
by Previti
Dear all,
I just fixed a bug that prevented CollectRNAmetrics (a Picard-Tool,
galaxy version 2.7.1) from working with GTF annotation files:
The pre-processing step that converts gtf to the genepred format needs
two extra parameters (marked red):
gtfToGenePred -genePredExt -geneNameAsName2 'test.gtf' refFlat.tab.raw
The format of my GTF is:
Seqname Source Feature Start End Score Strand Frame Attributes
3R FlyBase gene 722370 722621 . - . gene_id "FBgn0085804";
gene_name "CR41571"; gene_source "FlyBase"; gene_biotype "pseudogene";
I'm assuming this is the "standard" GTF format (according to ensembl)
How's the best way to make this type of thing known...?
Cheers,
Christopher

Copying files to FTP upload directory
by Keith Suderman
Hello,
I am trying to (ab)use the FTP file upload functionality to get data from an external service into Galaxy. From my reading of the docs I simply need to configure the ftp_upload_dir and ftp_upload_site in my galaxy.ini (haven't migrated to yaml yet) and Galaxy will expect to find subdirectories named after the user's account (email) in the ftp_upload_dir.
I have configured the ftp_upload_dir (/home/galaxy/database/ftp in our case) and the "Choose FTP File" button is now available in the Upload dialog, however regardless of where I put files, or what I name them, Galaxy always reports that "Your FTP directory does not contain any files."

Input paired dataset collection in workflow
by Christopher Previti
Dear Galaxy Community,
Is there a way to input a paired dataset collection into a workflow?
I would like to build a workflow using cutadapt with a paired dataset
collection but...I'm missing something.
I have seen workflows (at usegalaxy.eu for example:
1_CLIPseq-Explorer_demulti_PEAKachu_iCLIP_hg19) where this is possible.
But how is this done practically?
Thanks and best regards,
