Private genomes are not recognized by BLAST again

[Sveta-user]

Greeting,
Hope you can fix this issue - you have fixed it before.
Observed: today and last week also
Thank you for looking into it!

HI - give it a try now.

Still doesn't work... I cleaned the cache, but didn't reload Browser though

Just tried from a different Browser (Edge) - still the same error message :

Blast failed /disks/p3/deployment/services/homology_service/bin/blastp -evalue 0.1 -max_target_seqs 50 -num_threads 4 -db /disks/tmp/4ElT45c9nq -outfmt 15: BLAST Database error: Error: File (/disks/patric-data/data/homology_service/private-genomes/[email protected]/1685.607/private.faa.phr) not found.

You were coming in the second time as a different user (with a different space for private blast databases); I cleared that space as well so it should work now.

[Sveta-user]

It worked !! Thank you very much, Bob!
But now a question- what do you mean "you came as a different user" ? I thought I had a single account with PATRIC, this one below. Maybe I need to cancel the 2d account (didn't know I had one!) to prevent BLAST from breaking on me ??

Your first ticket noted this path:

Blast failed /disks/p3/deployment/services/homology_service/bin/blastp -evalue 0.1 -max_target_seqs 50 -num_threads 4 -db /disks/tmp/pZ800pQsAI -outfmt 15: BLAST Database error: Error: File (/disks/patric-data/data/homology_service/private-genomes/[email protected]/28026.764/private.faa.phr) not found.

which implies it was trying to do something with Wesley's genome (I don't recall if a shared private genome shows up in a path designated by the owner's id; it might).

[Sveta-user]

Aha, I see. This exactly the recurrent problem I get in Patric occasionally (the ONLY problem, I must say, everything else works perfectly): private genomes SHARED with me by other people are not accepted by BLAST occasionally. Most of the time they are accepted. Not sure what triggers it. It appears that this problems occurs after outages or major updates , but not sure
Many thanks for fixing it again!
Gratefully,
Sveta
