Great news, very glad this worked. I'll add liftOver to our wiki with
more specific instructions and add in the bit about explicit paths to
the .loc file section as well. Should help others going forward.
Thanks for taking the time to report back the solution to the list!

Hi Jen!
Definitely didn't forget to reset the server everytime I tried. The
problem was solved when I fixed the relative path to the full path..
can't believe I was stuck forever because of such a small miss. Fixed!
and everything working so far =)
Thank you so much,

Hello Kwon,
There are no known issues with the liftOver wrapper (tools / extract
/ liftOver_wrapper.py and liftOver_wrapper.xml).
Three more troubleshooting ideas:
1 - This may sound simple, but have you restarted the database since
you updated the .loc files?
http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Data%20Integration (final step)
2 - Remove the relative path from the .loc file entries (the "~/"))
and replace with an explicit full path. I personally have not seen
this used before in .loc files. Perhaps others on the list can
comment about whether they have been able to use this successfully
and if any special configuration was necessary.
3- Confirm that the genomes are in your builds list (also covered in
wiki above). Note that UCSC "dbkey" values have special
capitalization rules depending on where they are used. Your example
.loc file has this correct, but I recommend that you also check your
builds list entries against the wiki examples and your actual data.
If you make any changes, be sure to restart before testing.
For example, the liftOver file pair: hg19ToDanRer6.over.chain &
danRer6ToHg19.over.chain
human dbkey = hg19
zebrafish dbkey = danRer6
Please let us know how this works out,
