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>

</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):

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.
