Good morning gents,

I found one of your previous answers on the internet.

And it made me figured out my problem with job_conf.xml

So I finally made galaxy start without a glitch.

First, I added the following lines in the config/galaxy.ini file:

[server:handler0]

use = egg:Paste#http

port = 9010

use_threadpool = True

threadpool_workers = 10

I’ve also changed the config/job.conf.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<job_conf>

</plugins>

</handlers>

</destinations>

</job_conf>

Now, I’m uncertain what needs to listen to the port number 9010 under [server:handler0] section.

Cordialement / Regards,

Edgar Fernandez

That handle id seems wrong... at least it is not what I am used to. It needs to match a server section specified in your galaxay ini file - usually this is a simple string like handler0 or something.

It looks like the specific error is :

/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/eggs/pbs_python-4.3.5-py2.6-linux-x86_64-ucs4.egg/_pbs.so: undefined symbol: log_record

I am not sure what causes this - some subtle incompatibility.

So the pbs_python 4.4.0 egg is available on eggs.galaxyproject.org (http://eggs.galaxyproject.org/pbs_python/pbs_python-4.4.0.tar.gz) - I think it may be needed for newer torque versions - do you want to update the version specified in eggs.ini, delete the old egg, and rescramble the egg with 4.4.0?

P.S. Since you are setting up a new server I would strongly suggest using postgres instead of MySQL - but the previous comment about it not needing to be accessed on the compute servers is correct.

Hello again,

I’m very close in making pbs_python work but I’m hitting a new wall.

So I’ve created the file config/job_conf.xml which looks like this

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<job_conf>

</plugins>

</handlers>

<param id="Resource_List">walltime=72:00:00</param>

</destination>

</destinations>

</job_conf>

gavroche.esi.umontreal.ca is my torque server.

I know that in your documentation it doesn’t say to put in a handlers tag but galaxy doesn’t parse the xml without it.

Now, once I try to start galaxy, I get the error you see in the file paster.log attached to this email.

Can anyone help please?

Thank you for that correction.

Just a small FYI (maybe it will be useful to update the wiki)…

I had to export three variables to make the scramble possible:

export PBS_PYTHON_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/local/torque/include/

export PBSCONFIG=/usr/local/torque/bin/pbs-config

export LIBTORQUE_DIR=/usr/local/torque/lib/libtorque.so

python scripts/scramble.py -e pbs_python

Sorry for answer 7. There is no benefit to do that. Once the egg is done, there is nothing to do from here, except if you change your python version... If that variable is empty, that is normal, because it is not an environment variable, it is just used by the following python command:

LIBTORQUE_DIR=/path/to/libtorque python scripts/scramble.py -e pbs_python

Hi Edgar,

You are right. It is very annoying...

So, to answer your questions:

1/ First answer of google / wikipedia with DRMAA : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRMAA

It is a pattern to talk with any DRM system (SGE, torque, whatever...)

2/ This is a library (python version) for your Torque installation.

3/ MySQL access is only needed by your galaxy frontend.

4/ Internet access is not required for your compute node (except the galaxy one), but it is better if you want to use a package manager on your compute nodes, for example...

5/ On my part, I use permissions like 760 on galaxy directory. It depends on your needs... Some applications might need an access to your galaxy installation, but you should split binaries, the galaxy installation and your data (datasets, libraries...). But do not forget to share this folders by NFS (if needed).

6/ Sorry, no idea; but I see no reason for that to become unavailable, if your proxy is well configured.

7/ You have to put this command line into a file which will be sourced like $HOME_GALAXY/.bashrc or your environment file ("environment_setup_file" in universe_wsgi.ini or config/galaxy.ini)

Regards,
Remy

Hi everyone,

I’m guessing Remy, you click on the send button by mistake on your HTC device.

It happens to me ALL the time…

I wanted to take this opportunity to add some questions to the three questions in my previous email.

So here goes:

4. Is it necessary that my torque compute nodes have internet access?

Because right now, only my torque server and my galaxy server has internet access.

However, communication between the submit node (a.k.a. galaxy server) and the torque server is enabled.

Likewise, between the torque server and the compute nodes.

5. Furthermore, would I disable any galaxy functionalities if I change the permissions on the whole galaxy installation directory like so: chmod –R 700 galaxy_install_directory

I have created a user galaxy for running everything that is galaxy.

6. I’ve actually installed my galaxy server using a proxy server (as described on your web site). Can I still use the Report Tool functionalities on galaxy?

7. Any instructions on making PBS (running jobs via TORQUE resource manager), because I have successfully scrambled the egg pbs_python with the command:

LIBTORQUE_DIR=/path/to/libtorque python scripts/scramble.py -e pbs_python.

However, LIBTORQUE_DIR is empty.

Once again, thank you in advance for all your help!

Edgar Fernandez

Hi John,

First, thank you very much for your prompt answer.
It's extremely appreciated.

Secondly, I have some other questions: whatever answers you can provide me with, will be greatly helpful.
Please, forgive my beginner level understanding of an DRM system.

1. Once I compile, make and install the Torque Submit Node code against the server running Galaxy, what exactly is the purpose for an DRMAA ?

2. What is exactly the PBS step describe here: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster
galaxy_user@galaxy_server% LIBTORQUE_DIR=/path/to/libtorque python scripts/scramble.py -e pbs_python
What does it do exactly ?

3. All servers which includes my torque server, torque compute nodes and torque submit node (a.k.a galaxy server) have the galaxy user defines and its home shared on all of them. This means all of them have access (via NFS) of the installation directory of galaxy. But what about the MySQL server access. Does the torque server or the compute nodes need access to that service?

I hope I'm not sending too many emails/questions...
Thank you very much!

Cordialement / Regards,
Edgar Fernandez

I am not sure we have a walkthrough for Torque specifically - but if you have Galaxy up and running and you can qsub commands to torque - hopefully you have done all of the hard parts.

You will need a DRMAA library for your torque setup - https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster
suggests compiling pbs_drmaa and outlines how to set it up. After that you just need to add a plugin and default destination to your job_conf.xml file - also outlined on that wiki page.

Other good resources to consult if you are scaling up your Galaxy this way are:
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/ProductionServer
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014/TrainingDay/AdminWalkthrough

Good luck and let us know if you encounter any problems.

-John
