That's what we've already done, though we are also trying to contact the
people who gave us the sequences to confirm that by 'X' they really mean
'N' (they also had N's in their sequences though, so it's not very clear
why they used 'X').

I guess it would be useful for any curators who are not so familiar with
IUPAC codes for acedb to maybe suggest replacing X's with N's (where the
only improper code is 'X')...or just return a list of acceptable IUPAC
codes?

Bonjour à tous,

I am in the process of moving acedb to a new computer.
I've (finally...) succeeded in installing acedb (4.7l) in
/database/acedb, which runs ok.

Now, I want to use Aceperl/Acebrowser.
So, following what I've done for the "older" computer, I have:

installed Aceperl 1.67

installed AceBrowser 2.10 (following its readme)

got gifaceserver from acedb_server_4_7l_linux_libc6.tar.gz, moved it to
/usr/local/bin, and made a symbolic link as follow: ln -s
/usr/local/bin/gifaceserver /usr/local/bin/rpc.gifaceserver

added the following line to  /etc/services
acedb	20000114/tcp

added the following line to  /etc/rpc
acedb	20000114	rpc.gifaceserver

added the following line to  /etc/inetd.conf
acedb/1	stream	rpc/tcp	wait	acedb.U119	/usr/local/bin/rpc.gifaceserver
rpc.gifaceserver /database/acedb 20000114 1200:1200:0

Restarted inetd 

But things don't behave as expected...and I can't access acedb on this
new computer as I used to on the "older" one

So, I've tried to start gifaceserver manually:
$ gifaceserver /database/acedb 20000114
// Database directory: /database/acedb

tar: Member names contain '..'
Ne peut enregistrer le service: RPC: incapable d'effectuer la réception;
errno = Connexion refusée
unable to register (RPC_ACE, RPC_ACE_VERS, udp).


Any suggestions on how to set things right will be appreciated!

François

OK, something is very wrong, the above message suggests that for some reason the
port is being opened using the udp protocol, not tcp.

this may be because:

1) port 20000114 is already in use (look in /etc/services)

2) the operating system has decided that 20000114 is too large a number for the
port and somehow "wrapped" the number round to a lower number which really is in
use already.

Try a port number between 1024 and 65535 that is not in /etc/services and see if
that makes a difference.

cheers Ed

Thanks for your help, but...

I've tried port 20114, I've checked it is not in /etc/services, I've
edited /etc/rpc /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf, 
tried to start gifaceserver manually, and got the same error message

Francois,

Damn....ok, please could you either post here or send direct the following
information:

1) output of 'uname -a'

2) your exact entries for /etc/services, /etc/rpc and /etc/inetd.conf

3) just double check which version of acedb you are using

Just moved our database from our (aging) Sun machines to our new Compaq
AlphaServer.

Have just about managed to set up everything, but still a few glitches to
iron out.  In particular, I can no longer seem to view Locus objects as a
a graphic (using the AceBroswer 'pic' script).  The webpage returns the
pic error gif which says:

"The ACEDB server was unable to generate a picture of this object..."

and the web error log reveals:

[Wed Oct  4 09:06:26 2000] [error] Undefined subroutine CGI::Map


Anyone encounter this?  Is it some sort of problem with the pic script
calling the CGI module?

We have:

acedb 4.7l
Tru64 UNIX 5.0a
perl 5.6.0
AceBrowser 2.10
AcePerl 1.62
CGI.pm 2.56

Is this for acedb 4_7 or 4_8, what file did you download ?

In order to try and pick apart my problem (see earlier post) I am trying
to use aceclient to dump out a gif of a map in my database.

When I use aceclient to access the database, it crashes/exits:


% aceclient flora -port 50100
ERROR: failed to read file
acedb@flora> gif display   Map "Physical-I" ; gifdump abc
//! Null answer - Error Code: 5
//! You may have timed out
// Please report problems to mieg@kaa.crbm.cnrs-mop.fr
 //Bye


This is on our new machine (running Tru64 UNIX).  When I then try to
access the same thing on an (almost identical) copy of the database on
another machine (running Solaris), I get:



% aceclient synteny -port 20001
acedb@synteny> gif display   Map "Physical-I" ; gifdump abc
// Reponse: 88 bytes.
// GMAP Map "Physical-I"
// I wrote the active graph to file abc
// 0 Active Objects



Both servers are running gifaceserver 4.7l.  Does this imply that
gifaceserver on our new (Tru64 UNIX) machine is faulty?  Is there a better
way of testing this?


Any help appreciated.

A potential warning...

We upgraded CGI.pm to version 3.01 on our Tru64 machine and it seemed to
stop our AceBrowser and WebAce interfaces from working.  I've told Lincoln
about this.

Returning to CGI.pm 2.56 fixed the problems.

Hi all,

Following on from my previous posts, I am growing more convinced that
there is some sort of problem with gifaceserver for the alpha platform.

I should again state that this problem only manifests itself when trying
to view very large maps (containing hundreds or thousands of objects).
Trying to view any individual marker on one of these maps results in the
same problem.  To date, I have only been able to get this problem to occur
in our AGR database, and not in any of the other 30 acedb databases we
host on our server.

The problem is that gifaceserver won't dump out the necessary image.  This
happens whether you access the database with WebAce, AceBrowser, or
aceclient, but not xace (which is the bit that stumps me).

In the first three cases, the graphic object does not appear.  For
AceBrowser the standard error gif is shown, for Webace the display
defaults to the tree display and for aceclient, it falls over (see earlier
post).

This has happened on two separate Compaq Alphaservers running Tru64 UNIX,
but doesn't happen on our older Sun workstations running Solaris (all
with gifaceserver 4.7l)

Any thoughts?

Keith

This problem is now fixed, it occurs because on Linux 'stdin' and 'stderr' are
defined to be the actual stdin/stderr file pointers and so are not constant, on
other machines there is a per process struct that contains its own pointers to
stdin/stderr, this struct is constant and so the compilation works on other
machines.

The code has been changed so it does not assume that stdin/stderr are constant.

Bonjour,

Still trying to move Acedb from one computer to another.....

Despite the help of Jean, Ed, Richard, and others, and after fixing a
lot of things, including many mistakes  on my part, I've still not been
able to move ahead....

I can start gifaceserver at the command line:
[fc@grun fc]$ /usr/bin/gifaceserver /database/acedb 20114 1200:1200:100
bash: /usr/bin/gifaceserver: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
[
fc@grun fc]$ /usr/local/bin/gifaceserver /database/acedb 20114
1200:1200:100
 // Database directory: /database/acedb
 tar: Member names contain `..'

What does this "tar: Member names contain `..' " message means?

Now, if I try to start aceclient :
[fc@grun fc]$ /database/acedb/bin/aceclient 195.220.67.166 -port 20114
Erreur de segmentation

What is this segmentation fault?

If I try aceclient several time, I eventually get this (roughly once
every 10 tries ) :

[fc@grun fc]$ /database/acedb/bin/aceclient 195.220.67.166 -port 20114
ERROR: failed to read file
acedb@195.220.67.166>

What is this "ERROR: failed to read file" message?
Despite this message, I can access  acedb:

acedb@195.220.67.166> find Author Brenner S
// Reponse: 56 bytes.

// Found 1 objects in this class
// 1 Active Objects
acedb@195.220.67.166> list
// Reponse: 80 bytes.

KeySet : Answer_1
Author:
 Brenner S
// 1 object listed
// 1 Active Objects
acedb@195.220.67.166> Biblio

    The genetics of behaviour.
    Brenner S.
    British Medical Bulletin 29, 269-271 (1973)

etc. for all of Brenner's references...


My specific questions are:
How can I get read of the error messages (actually, "how can I get rid
of the cause of the error messages")
What to do to have aceclient works every time.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

François

Subject: question about Grid_show

Hello acedb newsletter group members,

I hope here is the right place to send this mail, since I don't know
anywhere else I may get the help.

I got a problem when I recently tried to load my first "sample" Grid
data.  The .ace files are fine when they were read into ACEDB and the
text information displays fine, but when I tried to open the grid
display, I got message like this: Can't get Grid_display : "FATAL ERROR
reported by program xace, in file graphxt.c at line 1051: text Bounds
called on invalid graph type2".   I don't know what's the problem and
how to solve it.  Could anyone give me help on that?  For the
convenience, a copy of the related ace file I used as my "sample" is
attached as the following.  Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

Jing Yu

thye problem is in wspec/displays.wrm

the grid display in you database is declared with the wrong type


_DGRID -g TEXT_FULL_SCROLL -w 0.54 -height 0.78 -help Grid -m Grid

Francois,

Forget this message, its not significant, I'll do something about suppressing it
at some time.

It's a serious program error, the program is trying to address memory that it is
not allowed to have access to.

> If I try aceclient several time, I eventually get this (roughly once
> every 10 tries ) :

This is _very_ surprising that it works at all given the above error.

> [fc@grun fc]$ /database/acedb/bin/aceclient 195.220.67.166 -port 20114
> ERROR: failed to read file

OK, what's happening is that the client manages to open one of the magic passwd
files to get read/write access (see README about setting up the aceserver), but
cannot read the contents of the file which is very strange.

Please can you send me copies of your wspec/passwd.wrm, wspec/server.wrm and
we'll take it from there.

cheers Ed

http://www.cns.bu.edu/metmbs/

June 25 - 28, 2001
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Call for Papers



Recent advances in computer technology have provided the tools and the
environment to study, analyze, and better understand complex systems. This
technological development has enabled researchers to collect and analyze
massive amounts of data to a scale previously not possible. The impact of
this technology is now being felt in the medical field and in the biological
sciences.   In recent years, research in interdisciplinary areas such as
Bioinformatics and computer assisted medical decision-making has
dramatically intensified.  METMBS'2001 aims to provide a platform for
researchers to present and discuss recent breakthroughs in this area.

The METMBS'2001 Conference will be held concurrently (i.e., same location
and dates) with a number of international conferences: International
Conference on Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and
Applications (PDPTA'2001), the International Conference on Imaging Science,
Systems, and Technology (CISST'2001), International Conference on Internet
computing (IC'2001), ...

The last concurrent meeting of this group of conferences in year 2000 had
research contributions from 46 countries (the events held in Las Vegas had
over 1100 participants from all over the world.)  It is hoped that
METMBS'2001 will maintain its strong international flavor in this year's
meeting as well.

You are invited to submit a draft paper of about 4 pages and/or a proposal
to organize a technical session (see below for submission information).  All
accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

THE NAMES OF TECHNICAL SESSION CHAIRS WILL APPEAR AS ASSOCIATE EDITORS ON
THE COVER OF THE CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS.
