URL prefix doesn't work properly in Galaxy v18.09
by Ping Luo 20 May '19

20 May '19

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=sk0xsyw… 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. Ping

Nginx+Shibboleth+UCSC
by Martin Demko 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

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#d…) 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" />  </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_bigw…: 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 location = /shibauthorizer { internal; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/shibboleth/shibauthorizer.sock; } # FastCGI responder for SSO location /Shibboleth.sso { include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/shibboleth/shibresponder.sock; } ############### Entry point for Galaxy ############### # Location secured by Shibboleth location / { shib_request /shibauthorizer; more_clear_input_headers 'Variable-*' 'Shib-*' 'Remote-User' 'REMOTE_USER' 'Auth-Type' 'AUTH_TYPE' 'GX_SECRET'; include uwsgi_params; shib_request_set $shib_id $upstream_http_variable_eppn; uwsgi_param HTTP_REMOTE_USER $shib_id; uwsgi_param HTTP_GX_SECRET $our_secret; uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:4001; # resolver $correct_resolver_acc_to_resolv.conf; # rdns on; # satisfy any; # rdns_allow genome\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw1\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw2\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw3\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw4\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw5\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw6\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw7\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw8\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; } # location /display_as { # resolver $correct_resolver_acc_to_resolv.conf; # rdns on; # satisfy any; # rdns_allow genome\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw1\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw2\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw3\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw4\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw5\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw6\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw7\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw8\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # } # location /display_application { # resolver $correct_resolver_acc_to_resolv.conf; # rdns on; # satisfy any; # rdns_allow genome\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw1\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw2\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw3\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw4\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw5\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw6\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw7\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw8\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # } ....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_bigw… 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#d…) there is used the /display_as location. Can somebody explain, please? Thank you in advance, Martin Demko

Galaxy Release 19.01
by Dave Clements 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

We are pleased to announce the *release of Galaxy 19.01 <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/release_19.01/releases/19.01_announce.html>*. A few release highlights are: <https://galaxyproject.org/news/2019-1-galaxy-release/#revised-ui-style> Revised UI Style The Galaxy stylesheet has been substantially reworked resulting in the largest visual refresh to Galaxy in years. <https://galaxyproject.org/news/2019-1-galaxy-release/#more-colorful-tags> More Colorful Tags Use consistently hashed randomized colors for history dataset name tags to increase visual distinction between tags, making it easier to track data flow in complex histories. Thanks to @erasche <https://github.com/erasche>. <https://galaxyproject.org/news/2019-1-galaxy-release/#extensive-workflow-en…> Extensive Workflow Enhancements (continued) Galaxy 18.09 featured a bunch of important and diverse fixes and enhancements to workflows on both the frontend and backend. That progress continues in release 19.01. The workflow editor now features explicit step parameter nodes for non-file data (integers, strings, booleans, etc) and the ability to connect these to all tool inputs - not just files. The YAML-based Galaxy Format 2 workflow language is now included in Galaxy as a beta option and allows import and export of human readable workflows as well as extensions to allow Galaxy to serve as a file editor for such workflows. The workflow editor features more helpful labels on inputs and outputs and important fixes including logic for connecting collections and dealing with missing tools. The workflow run form now deals with default values more correctly. <https://galaxyproject.org/news/2019-1-galaxy-release/#enhanced-support-for-…> Enhanced Support for Singularity Singularity <https://singularity.lbl.gov/> container support in Galaxy has been brought to parity with Docker container support. Specifically, Galaxy can now be configured to fetch Biocontainers <https://biocontainers.pro/> automatically for enabled job destinations. Moreover, explicitly annotated Docker containers (either in tools or job destinations) can be used with Singularity. Thanks to @mvdbeek <https://github.com/mvdbeek> Please see the full release notes <https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/release_19.01/releases/19.01_announce.html> for more information, including how to upgrade today! *Thanks for using Galaxy!* -- https://galaxyproject.org/ https://usegalaxy.org/

Hi, I'm having this error since some minutes. The error message is coming in the moment I click to any tool (e.g.: featurecounts) that provides data collections.

Question using sftp to upload file to galaxy
by Rui Wang 06 Feb '19

06 Feb '19

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!

featureCounts with GFF
by Jochen Bick 05 Feb '19

05 Feb '19

Hi, our group would like to switch to featureCounts <http://green-l-bio.ethz.ch:8090/tool_runner?tool_id=toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu%…> but we are using only GFF from NCBI. It looks like featureCounts <http://green-l-bio.ethz.ch:8090/tool_runner?tool_id=toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu%…> provides GFF but out of the box it does not provide a proper count table. The output looks like this: Status HISAT2 on data 33 Assigned 5186527 Unassigned_Unmapped 518985 Unassigned_MappingQuality 1353602 Unassigned_Chimera 0 Unassigned_FragmentLength 0 Unassigned_Duplicate 0 Unassigned_MultiMapping 0 Unassigned_Secondary 0 Unassigned_Nonjunction 0 Unassigned_NoFeatures 7515020 Unassigned_Overlapping_Length 0 Unassigned_Ambiguity 0 Geneid HISAT2 on data 33 5186527 I guess I need some advanced options? Which are different to the default run settings? Does anyone have a tutorial or example on how to configure the tool correctly with a standard GFF file, or does anyone also use GFF files? Or is there a better tool to use?

Re: [galaxy-dev] [External] Copying files to FTP upload directory

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.
