Dear all,

I am having the same problem as Linda with a fresh installation of version 20130603.
In the thread of her mail Dannon Baker said :
"That said, this doesn't resolve the mysql index issues, which I'm currently working on.  I hope to have a fix for them available soon, though."

I would like to know if what is the status of this thread. Should I use the solution provided in Linda's mail (CREATE INDEX ix_history_slug ON history (slug(1000));)

Thx a lot for your help

Best

Jean-François

Hi.   I am new to the Galaxy forum and I am trying to setup a new local Galaxy instance with MySQL on RH6.2 x86_64.

On a newly installed OS node, using the hg clone command (hg clone https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-dist#stable) which gets the current Galaxy 20130603 image, I am getting the following errors when running run.sh:
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64-ucs4/egg/MySQLdb/cursors.py", line 173, in execute
    self.errorhandler(self, exc, value)
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64-ucs4/egg/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 36, in defaulterrorhandler
    raise errorclass, errorvalue
OperationalError: (OperationalError) (1170, "BLOB/TEXT column 'slug' used in key specification without a key length") 'CREATE INDEX ix_history_slug ON history (slug)' ()

Reading the forum, someone stated it can be bypass by running the CREATE INDEX.

mysql> CREATE INDEX ix_history_slug ON history (slug(1000));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.09 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0
