SFTP for local galaxy instance?
by Alicia Linford 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

Hi, I have been using the Main galaxy instance for analysis of ChIP-Seq data. My university has recently installed a local instance of Galaxy and we have an SFTP server available. Is there an easy way to upload fastq files to Galaxy by SFTP rather than FTP? Thanks

Darn, never mind. Discovered the " />" at end of <options from_data_table="bccdc_blast_fields" /> was of course causing all the <filters> that followed to be ignored.

I successfully uploaded files to the main Galaxy server a month ago using ftp. However, any attempts to upload files today have failed. I get a 'Could not connect to server' error when trying to connect to main.g2.bx.psu.edu<http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu> uisng FileZilla. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Re: [galaxy-user] [galaxy-dev] Bam File
by Jeremy Goecks 29 Oct '13

Hello, First, I've moved this question from the Galaxy development mailing list to the Galaxy user mailing list; in the future, please send questions about using Galaxy to the galaxy-user list. To answer your question, files larger than 2GB must be uploaded via FTP to Galaxy. This is necessary due to Web browser limitations. Help to use FTP is on this wiki. The screencasts both show the two step process. The first is to FTP the data to the server, the second is to move the data from the "Get Data -> Upload Data" tool form into your history. http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/FTPUpload Best, J.

inconsistant error messages on disk quota?
by Francis Ouellette 26 Oct '13

26 Oct '13

I'm on cloudman, trying to upload files, and I'm getting this error message: "No space left on device" transferring a 1 GB file to my instance, but the cloudman console says I have more than 5 GB left? Is this a bad error message? Is there some other file you want to see? @bffo [cid:BF845074-1348-4A8F-87D2-6AACAD1313E7@wtgc.org] [cid:11E8AB13-A630-4638-8A1F-BF9E3AE526DF@wtgc.org] -- B.F.

posting supplementary information on galaxy server
by Jainy Tharun 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hello, I would like to know whether I can post my supplementary data for an article in the galaxy server. I have .docx files and .xlsx files. I am planning to upload these data in a folder and share the link at first and later publish it. When I tried uploading xlsx file, it is getting automatically converted to .xml files. Please let me know if it is possible provide the supplementary information through galaxy that includes doc and excel sheets.. Thank you so much for your help Jainy

problems in transitioning from Tophat to Cuffdiff
by Elwood Linney 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

After successfully using RNAseq software in Galaxy online for about 10 different datasets to just get gene expression differences between replicates from control versus exposed zebrafish embryos, I am having no luck getting cuffdiff to work with the "moved" Galaxy. I had this problem with histories developed before the move and histories developed after the move. I have had this problem using an order cuffmerge gtf file that worked in the past in Cuffdiff, with a new cuffmerge file developed from cufflinks of the files and by just using a ref file gtf from UCSC. I don't know if this is just some interface problem with a different version of the software that was included with the move, or a reference genome that does not interface with Cuffdiff. It has happened with about 5 different histories. Is anyone else having this problem? And found a solution? Elwood Linney

Issues on RNAseq since the changeover
by Elwood Linney 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

My histories seem to be stopping their processing around the Tophat-cuffmerge steps since the change over of Galaxy online. Sometimes a red box appears over my history name but disappears in a minute or less. I am wondering, given the way the Toolshed now looks different for RNAseq work, if some changes have been made that are disallowing the procedures I used previously. For example: I run larger Fastq files (100 million to 200 million 50bp single-ended reads per sample). I have been grooming my illumina fastq's, using Tophat (not Tophat2) for alignment, then Cuffmerge, then Cuffdiff. This worked in the past but my history are just getting thru Tophat or Cuffmerge and stalling. Should I be doing this in a different manner? This has been my second time around with these datasets after it was suggested that I delete and start all over again. Elwood Linney

Hello everyone, There will be 4 days of Galaxy-based training at UC Davis, December 10-13. See below for details. These do sell out, so if you are interested, please think about registering sooner, rather than later.

Re: [galaxy-user] Need your helps about Galaxy

Thanks Jen and James so much. Now it looks like I have fixed the problem about tophat_indexes_color, because "Tophat for SOLiD" tool is running in my account (still running, but not finished yet). Here is a summary: - The hg19 index files for colorspace have been there, so I don’t need to build or download. /mnt/galaxyIndices/genomes/Hsapiens/hg19/bowtie_color/hg19 - Change the tool_data_table_conf.xml file, add this: < <table name="tophat_indexes_color" comment_char="#"> < <columns>value, dbkey, name, path</columns> < <file path="/mnt/galaxyIndices/galaxy/tool-data/bowtie_indices_color.loc" /> < </table> /mnt/galaxy/galaxy-app/tool_data_table_conf.xml - Yes, both Bowtie and Tophat use the same indexes. - bowtie_indexes and tophat_indexes use this loc file: /mnt/galaxyIndices/galaxy/tool-data/bowtie_indices.loc - bowtie_indexes_color and tophat_indexes_color use this loc file: /mnt/galaxyIndices/galaxy/tool-data/bowtie_indices_color.loc Hope this can help somebody.
