Nathaniel Try: mysql://user:password@localhost/galaxy?unix_socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock (exchanging 'user' and 'password' according to your settings) or have a look at Nate Coraor's reply to a similar e-mail on this 'galaxy-user' list last Tuesday. And instead of uploading files have you looked at the possibilities of using 'DataLibraries'? see: http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/DataLibraries/UploadingFiles Hans
Hi
I have set galaxy to use mysql on localhost but I could not workout the syntax for the database_connection line to specify a username and password. Is this possible? I'm using Ubuntu so as per the install guide I have this
database_connection = mysql:///galaxy?unix_socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
I wanted to try mysql to see if it was faster for uploads of very large NGS files. At the moment even uploading a file from the localhost is very very slow. Is this normal or are there some ways to speed it up? My fastq files are all > 10GB.
Maybe using Galaxy isn't the right way to go and I should use the tools locally but as NGS handling is in there I am guessing large files were in mind?
Thanks
Nathaniel
