Dear Galaxy-Dev-Team, I just restarted our local Galaxy instance at the University of Tuebingen, Germany, and obtained a DRMAA.NoActiveSessionError. You can find an excerpt from my shell below. The error can be avoided by disabling the SGE support in the universe.wsgi.ini. However, as our galaxy instance runs on a virtual machine, which requires the cluster environment for proper job processing, I would very much appreciate your help on this issue. Kind regards, Johannes Traceback (most recent call last): File "/rahome/webservices/galaxy/lib/galaxy/web/buildapp.py", line 82, in app_factory app = UniverseApplication( global_conf = global_conf, **kwargs ) File "/rahome/webservices/galaxy/lib/galaxy/app.py", line 124, in __init__ self.job_manager = jobs.JobManager( self ) File "/rahome/webservices/galaxy/lib/galaxy/jobs/__init__.py", line 44, in __init__ self.dispatcher = DefaultJobDispatcher( app ) File "/rahome/webservices/galaxy/lib/galaxy/jobs/__init__.py", line 1190, in __init__ self._load_plugin( name ) File "/rahome/webservices/galaxy/lib/galaxy/jobs/__init__.py", line 1207, in _load_plugin self.job_runners[name] = runner( self.app ) File "/rahome/webservices/galaxy/lib/galaxy/jobs/runners/sge.py", line 96, in __init__ self.ds.init( self.default_cell ) File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/DRMAA.py", line 186, in init errParse(eno, estr) File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/DRMAA.py", line 167, in errParse else: raise _errindex[errno-_errMin](errstring) InternalError: cl_com_setup_commlib failed: timeout while waiting for thread start Exception DRMAA.NoActiveSessionError: NoActiveSessionError('',) in <bound method Session.__del__ of <DRMAA.Session object at 0x4ecfb50>> ignored -- Dipl.-Inf.
