Hello Jean-Baptiste, Thanks very much for bringing these issues to our attention. In change set 4860:d7162c6046fb, we've added exception handling around displaying a data library so an error message is displayed rather than the server error. We have also added the ability for an admin user to delete / undelete data libraries when browsing all data libraries ( these operations can be performed on 1 or more data libraries simultaneously ). This change set should make it to the distribution within the next few weeks, or you can pull directly from our development repo at https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/ Greg Von Kuster On Dec 30, 2010, at 12:28 PM, Jean-Baptiste Denis wrote:

Hello everybody,

i'm a sysadmin in charge of installing a Galaxy server. I'm a totally beginner regarding this software.

I've installed Galaxy using the documentation on the wiki (with Apache as a proxy and postgresql as database) and everything went fine.

I've tried to create a new library as a galaxy admin. I've added a dataset using "Upload files from filesystem paths" without copying data into galaxy. To test the behaviour of Galaxy in a weird situation i've added "/" (:D), clicked on "Upload to library" and closed the navigation tab after one minute.

As a result, the new data library appears under the "Manage data libraries" page. But, when i click on it, i've got a server error.

Here is the traceback :

-------------------------- .... File '/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/database/compiled_templates/library/common/browse_library.mako.py', line 229 in render_render_content if not trans.app.security_agent.library_is_public( library, contents=True ): File '/home/sis/jbdenis/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/security/__init__.py', line 541 in library_is_public File '/home/sis/jbdenis/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/security/__init__.py', line 559 in folder_is_public File '/home/sis/jbdenis/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/security/__init__.py', line 559 in folder_is_public File '/home/sis/jbdenis/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/security/__init__.py', line 559 in folder_is_public File '/home/sis/jbdenis/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/security/__init__.py', line 562 in folder_is_public AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'dataset' --------------------------

My question is : how can i delete this library without messing with the database consistency?

Any hints ? _______________________________________________ galaxy-user mailing list galaxy-user@lists.bx.psu.edu http://lists.bx.psu.edu/listinfo/galaxy-user
