Hi Makis,

here is my working nr entry:

/media/data/ncbi/blast/db/unpacked_nt/nt<tab>ncbi_nt<tab>/media/data/databases/ncbi/blast/db/unpacked_nt/nt

i was not able to see if your tabs are correct. So maybe its just a wrongly formatted loc file.

Cheers,
Bjoern

P.S. You can download preformatted blast-databases directly from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/staff/tao/URLAPI/blastdb.html

Dear Galaxy users,

I have been trying to upload a blastable database in my local instance of galaxy. I have used the nr database and generated all the nhr, nin, nsq, and nal files. I have also edited the blastdb.loc file in the galaxy-dist/tool-data/ directory and it looks like this:

database [build data] path
nr_01_Mar_2012 nr 15 Mar 2012 /home/user/Desktop/nr.00/nr

Nevertheless when i start galaxy the megablast tool can't recognise the database. Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance
Makis Ladoukakis
