I still haven't heard back from the Bio-Linux guys regarding how to update Galaxy within Bio-Linux...

In the meantime, I tried to play with the "Manage data libraries", in order to import large datasets. I modified the "library_import_dir" line in the universe_wsgi.ini. The first thing I can say is that when you make a mistake in the path (e.g. "../../directory" instead of "../../../directory"), Galaxy won't start at all! Anyway, even now that I figured that out, "This dataset is uploading" stays forever. As a test, I tried to upload small dataset using the usual way ("Get Data"), and here too "Dataset is uploading" stays forever. If I revert the "library_import_dir" to normal, I can upload via "Get Data".

Is this also an issue related to the Galaxy version I'm using? Or is the Galaxy in Bio-Linux screwed up?

Many thanks,

DJ

This could be the problem, I just installed BioLinux 7 on my computer with Galaxy running out-of-the-box...

However, it looks like they changed a few things, there is no .hg file and no galaxy-dist folder. Can I update outside of mercurial?

How old is the galaxy you're running? To use the main toolshed you'll need to use a galaxy-dist release from December or later. After this point in time the interface was standardized and is backwards compatible.

To update, you should be able to simply navigate to your galaxy-dist directory, 'hg pull -u', and you'll be off and running.

Also, since this deals with a local install, please do keep replies on the 'galaxy-dev' list that I transitioned this thread to instead of galaxy-user.

Thanks!

I'm quite new about using a local instance of Galaxy and I'm trying to figure how to install a tool from the tool shed. Reading the tutorial (Installing Galaxy tool shed repository tools into a local Galaxy instance) looked pretty simple, but maybe I missed something.
