Thanks, Hans. I found that the problem lies somewhere else... I was trying to mount a systems temporary directory (/tmp) on an NFS share. The socket to the postgres database however (although sync'ed to the NFS share) was apparently not valid anymore on the NFS share. I unmounted /tmp again (to reveal the underlying files again) and everything worked again. I have to disable all services using temp, and though I checked it with fuser, postgres was not listed. Perhaps check a little deeper :-) Oh yes, I am trying to do this to avoid my /tmp being filled when ftp'ing files to it. (/tmp is only 1.5 Gigs now).

Hi Joachim

I suggest you double check the settings in "reports_wsgi.ini"

One of your error messages: "sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (OperationalError) could not connect to server: Connection refused" indicates that there is something wrong with the value for "database_connection".

And you might also want to read the folowing recent thread from the mailing list:

Hi all,

When running galaxy-dist/run_reports.sh I get errors. It has been awhile since I run it, and it worked perfect then however.

The postgres database is running, user credentials are correct. I tried also running as root, as opposed to user galaxy, but no avail.

Thanks for your consideration, Joachim
