Glad it helped.
About configuring Galaxy to use port 8080, other than what you are already doing, checking for another process already using the port, I wouldn't know what to recommend.
About the balancing configuration, I haven't done it, so I don't have much to help with that. I do think it should go in the virtual host configuration file(default) and I don't think it should matter if you put it before or after the rewrite rules.
Are you following the instructions in?: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Performance/Web%20Application%20Scali...

Hi, Thanks for your answer. Effectively it's not necessary on integrating Galaxy with a third party authentication system. I've integrated my configuration to the file "default" and it's work !
Just one remark. I've configured the file ports.conf with the line : "Listen 8080", and it didn't work! In fact, the shell says me that the galaxy port was already in use while the command lsof -ti : 8080 showed no result. And when I delete the line "listen 8080" of my file ports.conf, Galaxy work! Is it normal ?
Finally, if I want tu use the proxy balancer lines like this (it is in the hope to increase performances): <Proxy balancer://galaxy> Balancer member... ...
</Proxy>
must I add in default file (and before or after the rewrite rules?) or in an other file ?
Thank you in advance. Julie

Hi Julie,
Could you answer a couple of questions?
First, are you interested on integrating Galaxy with a third party authentication system?
Second, do you expect heavy usage(I would say hundreds of concurrent users) where you would need several Galaxy servers with the work load balanced amount them?. Note even if you only have one Galaxy server, you will still have several Apache processes running and you will be able to serve multiple concurrent users without issue. Well at least from the web server side of things, if you expect even a moderate usage you should use a database back-end like PostgreSQL or MySQL.
If the answer to these questions is no, all you need in a Debian/Ubuntu system is to place this in '/etc/apache2/sites-available/default' file between the <VirtualHost> tags: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/static/style/(.*) /home/nate/galaxy-dist/static/june_2007_style/blue/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/static/scripts/(.*) /home/nate/galaxy-dist/static/scripts/packed/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/static/(.*) /home/nate/galaxy-dist/static/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/favicon.ico /home/nate/galaxy-dist/static/favicon.ico [L] RewriteRule ^/robots.txt /home/nate/galaxy-dist/static/robots.txt [L] RewriteRule ^(.*) http://localhost:8080$1 [P]
Even if the answer if yes to both questions, I would start with the simpler setup first, get it working and then grow from there.
Hope it helps, Carlos

Hi, First, Sorry but, I'm a newbie with Apache and my questions will certainly appear stupid.
To configure apache2, I've followed this wiki : http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Apache%20Proxy And I write these instructions :
<Proxy http://localhost:8080%3E Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> RewriteEngine on <Location "/"> # Define the authentication method AuthType Basic AuthName Galaxy AuthUserFile /home/nate/htpasswd Require valid-user # Take the $REMOTE_USER environment variable and set it as a header in the proxy request. RewriteCond %{IS_SUBREQ} ^false$ RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} (.+) RewriteRule . - [E=RU:%1] RequestHeader set REMOTE_USER %{RU}e </Location> RewriteRule ^/static/style/(.*) /home/nate/galaxy-dist/static/june_2007_style/blue/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/static/(.*) /home/nate/galaxy-dist/static/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/favicon.ico /home/nate/galaxy-dist/static/favicon.ico [L] RewriteRule ^/robots.txt /home/nate/galaxy-dist/static/robots.txt [L] RewriteRule ^(.*) http://localhost:8080$1 [P] </Location>
But several problems appeared when I launched my Galaxy.
First, must this instructions block be in the file apache2.conf or in the file default of sites-available directory ? If it must be in the file default, is it between the <VirtualHost> tags or out of these tags ?
Second, I've created an htpaswd file in my home directory, but when I launch galaxy, it doesn't request me a login and password but it says me that Galaxy requires an user authentification and it must be an error in my apache configuration. Is it a problem with the instructions or with their place in configuration file ?
Third the line </Location> appears two times in your instructions but it's wrong for apache. I've deleted the first but I'm note sure that Rewrite instructions must be in the <Location> block.
And finally, I want to work with severals web processes and I want to add this configuration lines :
<Proxy balancer://galaxy> ...
</Proxy>
Must I add to previous lines and where ? or Must I replace certain lines of previous block and if yes : which lines ?
Thank you very much.
Julie
