Hello all,
While attempting a fresh Galaxy install from both galaxy-central and galaxy-dist, I ran into a problem initialising the default SQLite database (database/universe.sqlite),
$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-dist ... $ cd galaxy-dist $ ./run.sh ... galaxy.model.migrate.check DEBUG 2013-10-31 10:28:26,143 pysqlite>=2 egg successfully loaded for sqlite dialect Traceback (most recent call last): ... OperationalError: (OperationalError) database is locked u'PRAGMA table_info("dataset")' ()
After some puzzlement, I realised this was down to the file system - I was trying this under my home directory mounted via a distributed file system (gluster I think).
Repeating the experiment under /tmp on a local hard disk worked :)
(I'm posting this message for future reference; hopefully Google and/or mailing list searches will help anyone else facing this error)
Regards,
Peter
