Installation issue on EC2
by Fabiano Lucchese 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Hi, all. I've been trying to deploy a CloudMan/Galaxy cluster on EC2 for a couple of days now and have been facing all kinds of unexpected weirdness's. I found out that the web-based form that automatically creates the EC2 instance uses an image that doesn`t seem to be officially supported (or at least encouraged) by the Galaxy team, so I decided to launch the instance by hand following the instructions from here: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/CloudMan/AWS/GettingStarted Up to the point before accessing Galaxy, everything looks ok, but the service never starts. Instead, it shows up at the CloudMan Admin page as "Error" and nothing happens if I try to Stop/Start or Restart it.There's no log either. The Postgres service displays an immutable "Starting" status, while its log provides the following message: FATAL: database files are incompatible with server DETAIL: The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 9.1, which is not compatible with this version 8.4.7. It does look like a messed up installation, which is quite surprising as this is supposed to be the recommended working image. Does anybody have any clue on what might be going on? Thanks in advance. F.

Upload files from filesystem paths...
by Neil.Burdett＠csiro.au 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Hi, I have a local galaxy installation. I've created a data library, selected "Upload files from filesystem paths", pasted a path in the "path to upload" window, and I've selected to preserve the directory structure". And the files get imported. How do I now access these files from my application? I don't want to import them into the history as then they lose the directory structure. I can't see where they are physically under the galaxy-dist structure Thanks for any help Neil

Exporting Trackster visualizations.
by Mohammad Heydarian 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Hi, Is there a way to export visualizations from Trackster and Sweepster in .pdf or .jpg format? I have been using these fantastic tools to fine tune my parameters and would like to show how I did so in figure format (partially to locally get the word out about these powerful tools). Screenshots often do not suffice (and don't do the tools justice). Any solutions and/or fixes are appreciated! Cheers, Mo Heydarian PhD candidate The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Department of Biological Chemistry 725 Wolfe Street 414 Hunterian Baltimore, MD 21205

Toolshed confusion
by greg 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Hi guys, I have my fresh galaxy install on our cluster and now I'm trying to figure out which tools are missing and how to install them. I just came across the toolshed so now I'm really confused. Question 1: Can I install EVERY tool I need from the tool shed or are there some things I need to install manually first like R, Samtools, etc? How do I know what to install from where? Question 2: Is it preferable to use the toolshed whenever possible, or it is not fully developed yet? Thanks, Greg

How to modify "save" icon
by Sarah Maman 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Hello, The tool "SAM to BAM" generates a dataset from which it is possible to download two files (instead of one) from the icon "save". As my script generates an output result and another txt output containing information about linux command, I will wish not to generate two datasets in history but only one dataset with two files downloaded from the icon "save". Do you know how to encode the corresponding xml? Moreover, I would like to add file formats of file which can be opened in the central window central of Galaxy (thanks to "eye" icon). Do you know, please, how to add more files formats ? Thanks in advance, Sarah Mom

let galaxy use more hardware resouses
by 泽蔡 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Hi all, I run a local instance of galaxy. Today, I take a look at the system monitor, I found the galaxy just use 4% of a CPU and a little bit of the memory of the PC. But the PC has twelve CPUs and 126G memory. So, how to configure the galaxy to use more hardware resouces to calculate quickly?
