Hello. I have installed Galaxy and run it successfully. Now I am trying to configure it to use DRMAA job runner. I created a job_conf.xml file as explained in the Galaxy wiki: <?xml version="1.0"?> <job_conf> <plugins> <plugin id="sge" type="runner" load="galaxy.jobs.runners.drmaa:DRMAAJobRunner" workers="4"/> </plugins> <destinations default="sge_default"> <destination id="sge_default" runner="drmaa"/> </destinations> </job_conf> The galaxy user has the necessary environment variable: $ echo $DRMAA_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/sge/lib/lx-amd64/libdrmaa.so But then Galaxy does not start. Here are the final log messages: galaxy.jobs DEBUG 2013-06-17 17:32:27,715 Loading job configuration from ./job_conf.xml Traceback (most recent call last): File "/mnt/FSS2/data/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/buildapp.py", line 35, in app_factory app = UniverseApplication( global_conf = global_conf, **kwargs ) File "/mnt/FSS2/data/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/app.py", line 97, in __init__ self.job_config = jobs.JobConfiguration(self) File "/mnt/FSS2/data/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/jobs/__init__.py", line 109, in __init__ self.__parse_job_conf_xml(tree) File "/mnt/FSS2/data/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/jobs/__init__.py", line 159, in __parse_job_conf_xml self.default_handler_id = self.__get_default(handlers, self.handlers.keys()) File "/mnt/FSS2/data/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/jobs/__init__.py", line 288, in __get_default rval = parent.get('default') AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get' Removing PID file galaxy-web1.pid I am using the following to start Galaxy: /bin/sh run.sh --pid-file galaxy.pid --log-file galaxy.log I have updated my Galaxy install to the latest stable version, but the problem persists. Any help will be much appreciated. Please note that Galaxy runs ok without the job_conf.xml file. Is there some configuration I am missing? Thanks.
