Hi Evan
Well, in theory, this is a simple task, since Galaxy mostly works with relative paths. Of course, it all depends on how sophisticated your installation is and how different the old and the new 'machine' is (eg same OS?)
So my advice is: just do it or rather try it.
- make a copy of your installation on the new hardware (at first it is sufficient to copy only the latest sub directories of database/files/)
- make a copy of your PostgreSQL database
- connect your copied installation to the PostgreSQL database copy and test, and test, and test
- pay special attention to tools you have installed via the toolshed. You might need to change some absolute paths in the 'env.sh' files located in the tool_dependencies/ directory.
Once your happy with all the tests, do an rsync on the database/ directory and connect to the original PostgreSQL database.
Regards, Hans-Rudolf

Is there a good method for moving a fully functional galaxy install from one machine to another in a different directory? ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
