Hello

We managed to install Galaxy according to the unified method, with the runner and the web application running on separate machines sharing by NFS the same storage space where the Galaxy files are.

The thing is, the data must be saved in another NFS storage space so we had to define the file paths accordingly, including modifying (and exporting) the TMP environment variables for both machines, so that the temporary directory is in the shared NFS volume meant to host the data.

My question is: What exactly is the new_file_path configuration value for since it doesn't seem to have any effect if the TMP environment variable doesn't do the job?

Wouldn't there be a solution for using the new_file_path value instead of having to rely on the shell variables for temporary files?

Hi Louise-Amélie, Thanks for bringing this up, I'd meant to do it a long time ago. This has been implemented in changeset 5278:2be2b8e0e916, which should be part of our stable distribution by next week. --nate

Best regards L-A
