Hi,

I am running into some out-of-disk space errors with some of my jobs and this was because the /tmp space is running out of space.

I want to use a different temporary directory but I can't get GALAXY to pick up my settings...

I use this in the .ini file

# Temporary files are stored in this directory.

new_file_path = /mnt/ngs/analysis/tdeboer/galaxy-data/database2/tmp

I set my TMPDIR environment variable to something similar, but when I check what my python script is using as its temp dir I get this:

print "Temp dir: %s" % tempfile.gettempdir()

Temp dir: /tmp/3642962.1.all.q

It seems that the SGE engine overrides the settings in GALAXY, no?

So where do I set the tmp directory to be something different then /tmp?

Thanks
