Hi, I am trying to install a local instance of Galaxy with an infobright mysql server; I created a database called "galaxy" (the user is also "galaxy," and it has all the privileges it should need), and the database_connection line is as follows: database_connection = mysql://galaxy:***********@localhost/galaxy?unix_socket=/tmp/mysql-ib.sock When I do this, I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/gen21/alex/Apps/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/web/buildapp.py", line 82, in app_factory app = UniverseApplication( global_conf = global_conf, **kwargs ) File "/gen21/alex/Apps/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/app.py", line 32, in __init__ create_or_verify_database( db_url, kwargs.get( 'global_conf', {} ).get( '__file__', None ), self.config.database_engine_options ) File "/gen21/alex/Apps/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/model/migrate/check.py", line 65, in create_or_verify_database db_schema = schema.ControlledSchema( engine, migrate_repository ) File "/gen21/alex/Apps/galaxy-dist/eggs/sqlalchemy_migrate-0.5.4-py2.7.egg/migrate/versioning/schema.py", line 24, in __init__ self._load() File "/gen21/alex/Apps/galaxy-dist/eggs/sqlalchemy_migrate-0.5.4-py2.7.egg/migrate/versioning/schema.py", line 36, in _load self.table = Table(tname, self.meta, autoload=True) File "/gen21/alex/Apps/galaxy-dist/eggs/SQLAlchemy-0.5.6_dev_r6498-py2.7.egg/sqlalchemy/schema.py", line 108, in __call__ return type.__call__(self, name, metadata, *args, **kwargs) File "/gen21/alex/Apps/galaxy-dist/eggs/SQLAlchemy-0.5.6_dev_r6498-py2.7.egg/sqlalchemy/schema.py", line 236, in __init__ _bind_or_error(metadata).reflecttable(self, include_columns=include_columns) File "/gen21/alex/Apps/galaxy-dist/eggs/SQLAlchemy-0.5.6_dev_r6498-py2.7.egg/sqlalchemy/engine/base.py", line 1265, in reflecttable self.dialect.reflecttable(conn, table, include_columns) File "/gen21/alex/Apps/galaxy-dist/eggs/SQLAlchemy-0.5.6_dev_r6498-py2.7.egg/sqlalchemy/databases/mysql.py", line 1664, in reflecttable sql = self._show_create_table(connection, table, charset) File "/gen21/alex/Apps/galaxy-dist/eggs/SQLAlchemy-0.5.6_dev_r6498-py2.7.egg/sqlalchemy/databases/mysql.py", line 1835, in _show_create_table raise exc.NoSuchTableError(full_name) NoSuchTableError: migrate_version I found this question in the archives: http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2010-March/002216.html As per both replies, I tried a virtual_env, which didn't work, and I also deleted the "galaxy" database so that it would create a fresh one, but, of course, now it can't connect to the database because it doesn't exist. How do I tell Galaxy to create the database it needs? Thanks again for all the support, Alex Bigelow
