Thanks Nate!

I also want to do a mirror site of Galaxy Server in asia, but found the instruction is not so clear/detailed. Do we have a detailed one?

Hi Huayan, Please keep replies on the mailing list for the benefit and collaboration of the entire Galaxy community. Have you seen the documentation at: http://usegalaxy.org/production If so, and this is unclear, can you provide specifics about what you need to do that is not covered by the documentation. Thanks, --nate

Best, Huayan

Dear all,

I am trying to install Galaxy in my Mac. And got the following error: password authentication failed for user "postgres".

I have installed postgres using dmg file and created a database called galaxydb under /Library/PostGresql/9.1 folder. I am able to run psql command. I also created postgres user for it. I modified the universe_wsgi.ini file for the database connection. Could you help me check what I should do next to fix the problem?

Hi Huayan,

Sorry for the delay in response. It probably isn't a good idea to use the 'postgres' superuser to run Galaxy. I'd suggest creating a new Postgres user (role) for Galaxy. The simplest thing to do if you're connecting with a unix socket (i.e. you're not specifying a hostname or IP address in database_connection) is to make the Postgres username match the username of the user running the Galaxy process, and to not require a password for that user. You may need the following in pg_hba.conf, if it's not already there:

local all all ident

So, if I have a local system username of 'nate', I would create a postgres user named 'nate' with access to a database 'galaxy', and set database_connection:

database_connection postgres:///galaxy

--nate
