Forgot to mention that this method was done on OSX (latest) - parameters might differ depending on your system

Hi,

We had some issues using MySQL instead of sqlite as well. This is how it was solved on our end (Fresh installation):

These steps are from a fresh Hg clone of galaxy (The latest version included the python egg needed for successful migration):

1) >sh setup.sh
2) Create a new MySQL database, in our case: galaxy-new
3) Create a MySQL user with sufficient privileges to talk to the created MySQL db, in our case: galaxy
4) In the galaxy root directory, edit the universe_wsgi.ini:  Uncomment the #database_connection line and edit it to this format:

database_connection = mysql://username:password@host/database_name

So in our case, it was:

mysql://galaxy@localhost/galaxy-new

If you have a password set for your MySQL user it would be: mysql://galaxy:yourpassword@localhost/galaxy-new

5) Save the file, and: > sh run.sh  
- From here the migration proceeded automatically.


Rgds,



Roy Weckiewicz.

Hi,
 
The syntax generated in the output generates errors. They look like this:
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TRANSACTION' at line 1
and
ERROR 1059 (42000) at line 77132: Identifier name 'ix_history_dataset_association_display_at_authorization_history_dataset_association_id' is too long
 
I hope this can be solved.
 
Sincerely,

Hi Freerk,

Can you be more specific about the problems that you're seeing? Also, please continue to cc galaxy-dev as you're more likely to get help with your issues since it's going to a larger audience.

Thanks,
J.

Hi Jeremy,
 
Thanks for the fast replay. The first issue is solved, a new one occured during the second point. When I migrate the sqlite database to SQL and try to import it into the MySQL database some errors occur.
MySQL is complaining about the syntax used in the SQLdump.
We are using the following MySQL version:
mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.75, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2
I also read the info on the link you provided in your answer, but this won't solve this problem I think. So, do you have a solution?
 
Sincerely,

Hi Freerk,

When we change the databaseconnection to "mysql:///galaxy?unix_socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock" in the universe_wsgi.ini file and run Galaxy we receive an error like:

"Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)") None None

So is there an option somewhere which we also have to change to make the connection work?

You need to specify a username and password to access your database. Try this URL:

mysql://user:password@localhost/galaxy?unix_socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
(exchanging 'user' and 'password' according to your settings)

And question two:
Do we need to migrate the content from the sqlite database to the MySQL database by hand or does this happen automatically?

You need to do the migration manually. Kanwei provided a nice solution to this problem a while back:

What I would suggest is to dump the sqlite database to standard sql,
and then creating a new instance of galaxy that has mysql as the
configured database. When you run the setup and run script, you'll
have a freshly instantiated galaxy with empty mysql tables. Then you
can just import the standard sql file into the mysql database.

Good luck and let us know if you have any more problems.
