Hi Hans,

Thankyou! I tried this;

mysqldump -u galaxy_user -p galaxy > db-name.out

mysql -u galaxy_user -p galaxy < db-name.out

and it seemed to work:) I needed to run

manage_db.sh

to upgrade the schema but it ran without incident. All of the datasets in our old server now appear on our test server and I can download them into my history.

Hello All,

We have a large amount of data on our production server that we would
like to make available on our new test server. I tried to move data from
our production server to our test server by copying the meta-data files
and dataset files from ~/database/files to the new test server but it
didn't work. Is there a way to move the datasets en mass?

Hi Rob


At the risk of repeating myself - sorry: You need a copy of your MySQL database for your new test instance of galaxy to connect to.

what exactly does not work? what kind of error messages do you get?


Regards, Hans
