Hi, I 've installed Galaxy on Ubuntu 12.04 with apache2 and MySQL I've configured apache 2 with this lines on file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default between <VirtualHost> and </VirtualHost> : <Proxy "http://localhost:8080"> Order Deny,Allow Allow from all </Proxy> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/galaxy$ /galaxy/ [R] RewriteRule ^/galaxy/static/style/(.*) /home/chevalier/galaxy-dist/static/june_2007_style/blue/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy/static/scripts/(.*) /home/chevalier/galaxy-dist/static/scripts/packed/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy/static/(.*) /home/chevalier/galaxy-dist/static/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy/favicon.ico /home/chevalier/galaxy-dist/static/favicon.ico [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy/robots.txt /home/chevalier/galaxy-dist/static/robots.txt [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy/(.*) http://localhost:8080$1 [P] I've configured my MYSQL with a user who have all privilegies on a database and in the universe_wsgi.ini the connection database appears like this : database_connection = mysql://cistrome:cistrome@localhost :/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock/cistromeap After running sh run.sh in my galaxy directory, I obtain this error message : .... File "/home/chevalier/galaxy-dist/eggs/SQLAlchemy-0.5.6_dev_r6498-py2.7.egg/sqlalchemy/engine/url.py", line 49, in __init__ self.port = int(port) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ' ' This is the case too when I run this with root privilegies. Is it an error in my configuration of apache 2 or in MySQL ? Or is it an error in my universe_wgsi.ini ? Thank you Julie
