[galaxy-user] ValueError on startup: workaround

Hi, Just installed Galaxy locally and ran "sh run.sh" for the first time. The web page on 127.0.0.1:8080 gave this error: ValueError: expected only letters, got ' en' This was from line 762 in core.py (in /opt/galaxy-dist/eggs/Babel-0.9.4-py2.6.egg/babel) if not lang.isalpha() raise ValueError('expected only letters, got %r' % lang) So, the workaround is to insert a line before: lang = lang.strip() Then it worked :) Cheers, John John Norris Biorenewables Group (IBERS) Aberystwyth University 01970 823 069
