I am trying to configure galaxy with sge/drmaa scheduler. The galaxy process is starting up fine without any drmaa configuration. However the galaxy daemon doesn't start properly when I add drmaa configuration lines as shown below. I have set SGE_ROOT and DRMAA_LIBRARY_PATH variables properly. Am I missing something important here? # drmaa configuration: {{{ start_job_runners = drmaa default_cluster_job_runner = drmaa:/// }} # paster.log file - with drmaa config the process dies with "Loaded job runner: galaxy.jobs.runners.local:LocalJobRunner" as last line in the log file. With local job runner the galaxy starts fine as shown below: {{{ galaxy.jobs DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:58,959 Loaded job runner: galaxy.jobs.runners.local:LocalJobRunner galaxy.jobs INFO 2011-05-17 09:59:58,959 job manager started galaxy.jobs INFO 2011-05-17 09:59:59,325 job stopper started galaxy.sample_tracking.external_service_types DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,330 Loaded external_service_type: Simple unknown sequencer 1.0.0 galaxy.sample_tracking.external_service_types DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,333 Loaded external_service_type: Applied Biosystems SOLiD 1.0.0 galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,349 Enabling 'mobile' controller, class: Mobile galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,417 Enabling 'library_common' controller, class: LibraryCommon galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,435 Enabling 'admin' controller, class: AdminGalaxy galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,451 Enabling 'requests' controller, class: Requests galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,455 Enabling 'external_services' controller, class: ExternalServiceController galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,474 Enabling 'page' controller, class: PageController galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,480 Enabling 'visualization' controller, class: VisualizationController galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,549 Enabling 'tracks' controller, class: TracksController galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,550 Enabling 'requests_common' controller, class: RequestsCommon galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,556 Enabling 'request_type' controller, class: RequestType galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,561 Enabling 'external_service' controller, class: ExternalService galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,562 Enabling 'library' controller, class: Library galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,746 Enabling 'workflow' controller, class: WorkflowController galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,752 Enabling 'library_admin' controller, class: LibraryAdmin galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 09:59:59,756 Enabling 'async' controller, class: ASync galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,026 Enabling 'history' controller, class: HistoryController galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,031 Enabling 'error' controller, class: Error galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,090 Enabling 'requests_admin' controller, class: RequestsAdmin galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,095 Enabling 'ucsc_proxy' controller, class: UCSCProxy galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,104 Enabling 'forms' controller, class: Forms galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,137 Enabling 'dataset' controller, class: DatasetInterface galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,143 Enabling 'tool_runner' controller, class: ToolRunner galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,148 Enabling 'tag' controller, class: TagsController galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,158 Enabling 'user' controller, class: User galaxy.web.framework.base DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,165 Enabling 'root' controller, class: RootController galaxy.web.buildapp DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,189 Enabling 'httpexceptions' middleware galaxy.web.buildapp DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,195 Enabling 'recursive' middleware galaxy.web.buildapp DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,220 Enabling 'print debug' middleware /share/apps/galaxy/shantanu-temp-workspace/galaxy-cluster-test/galaxy-dist-50e249442c5a/eggs/WebError-0.8a-py2.6.egg/weberror/exceptions/serial_number_generator.py:11: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead import md5 galaxy.web.buildapp DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,726 Enabling 'eval exceptions' middleware galaxy.web.buildapp DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,740 Enabling 'trans logger' middleware galaxy.web.buildapp DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,740 Enabling 'config' middleware galaxy.web.buildapp DEBUG 2011-05-17 10:00:00,744 Enabling 'x-forwarded-host' middleware Starting server in PID 10170. serving on 0.0.0.0:8081 view at http://127.0.0.1:8081 }}} -- Thanks, Shantanu.
