[wemboss-users] version 3.0.0 of wrappers4EMBOSS released

[Guy B. <Guy...@sk...>]

Dear all,

I do not know if you are still interested in wrappers4EMBOSS. After my 
computer crashed a few months ago I wrote for my own benefit a new 
version and there is no reason why I should not share it. It supports 
BLAST+ and InterPro 5 (but not yet MRS 6 because the MRS interface has 
changed substantially).

Regards,
Guy Bottu

[wemboss-users] new version of wEMBOSS

[Guy B. <gb...@vu...>]

	Dear wEMBOSS users,

Version 2.2.1 has just been released. It is not very different from 
version 2.2. It contains a bug fix for EMBOSS lists that allow to select 
more than one option. Also, the menu for selecting graphical output now 
includes PDF (besides PNG, the default, and PostScript).

I take the occasion to announce good news : Emiliano Barreto from the 
Columbian EMBnet Node has recently committed himself to take over the 
further development of wEMBOSS and wrappers4EMBOSS. wEMBOSS had started 
as a joint project of the Belgian and Argentinian EMBnet nodes. 
Unfortunately, Martin Sarachu from the Argentinian node died prematurely 
from cancer and the ex-members from the Belgian node find it 
increasingly difficult to spend time on the project. But now the future 
of this popular interface to EMBOSS is guaranteed.

	Guy Bottu,

[wemboss-users] wrappers4EMBOSS 2.6 released

[Guy B. <gb...@vu...>]

	Dear users of wrappers4EMBOSS,

Version 2.6 has just been released. It supports EMBOSS 6.4, as well as 
MRS 5. The wrapper for fastA has been adapted to the last version of 
fastA and the ebi_fasta program can now search the WGS databanks at the EBI.

New is that the on-line manuals in HTML format install in 
.../embassy/wrappers4emboss rather then in .../embassy/myseq. We have 
also abandonned backward compatibility with some old versions of 
software and in general made the code more streamlined, this in order to 
make further develoment easier.

[wemboss-users] Bug when reversing first sequence

[<s.n...@go...>]

Hello,

I found a bug which happens when reversing the first sequence.

Reproduce:

Open matcher
Select Sequence1
Select Sequence2
Check "rev" for Sequence 1
Run matcher

This will send something like this to emboss:
matcher -asequence Sequence1 -sbegin 1 -send 77992 -sreverse -sbegin 1
-send 28 -bsequence Sequence2  -alternatives 1 -gapopen 16 -gapextend
4 -aformat markx0 -auto

The bug is, that the second "-sbegin 1 -send 28" is in front of
Sequence 2 which leads to the result that Sequence1 is cut to 1-28.

Best regards
Stefan Stolz

Re: [wemboss-users] clustal error with wrappers4emboss

[Guy B. <gb...@vu...>]

	Dear Vincent,

Are you sure you are using EMBOSS version 6.2.0 ? EMBOSS uses ACD files 
to manage the input/output/options of the programs and in EMBOSS 6.3.0 
there has been an expansion of the ACD language, "failrange" being one 
of the new parameter attributes. wrappers4EMBOSS 2.4.0 cannot handle the 
new options, but from version 2.5.0 on wrappers4EMBOSS does (and 
installs a version of ACD file adapted to the EMBOSS version).

So, do install the latest version of wrappers4EMBOSS and run again the 
install script. It should work.

	Regards,
	Guy Bottu,

[wemboss-users] clustal error with wrappers4emboss

[Vincent S. <vin...@di...>]

Hello,

I have installed Wrappers4emboss 2.4.0 for emboss 6.2.0. The compilation 
went ok but when I try to run clustal, I have the following error :

Error: File /usr/local/share/EMBOSS/acd/clustal.acd line 116: (ktuple) Attribute failrange: required with any calculated min/max

Do you know where it can come from ? I have no idea.

Thank you in advance for your help.

[wemboss-users] EBI Web services and wrappers4EMBOSS 2.5.1

[Guy B. <gb...@vu...>]

	Dear users of wrappers4EMBOSS,

subversion 2.5.1 of wrappers4EMBOSS has just been released. It contains 
only changes in the module EBI Web Services. It was necessary to modify 
ebi_tmhmm so that it uses the new iprscan server (the old InterProScan 
server being phased out on 28 March 2011).

I think the original question was about PDF, not PNG.

Re: [wemboss-users] wEMBOSS and PDF output

[Guy B. <gb...@vu...>]

	Dear Stefan,

Enabling PNG will demand adding a few lines of code to the wEMBOSS 
software. The new members of the development team have promised that 
they will work on it.

Note that, of course, the underlying installation of EMBOSS in the 
wEMBOSS server should itself be enabled for PNG.

[wemboss-users] wEMBOSS and PDF output

[Stefan S. <s.n...@gm...>]

Hello,

I set up EMBOSS with PDF support and it works with command line. But
wEMBOSS only gives me the option for PS or PNG output. Is there a way
to enable PDF output in wEMBOSS 2.2?

Thanks,
Stefan

Re: [wemboss-users] Error: Can't reset GID

[Stefan S. <s.n...@gm...>]

Now I tested all to write no nonsense.

For first: I did exactly like the installation instructions told me.
Also catch had correctly -rwsr-xr-x after installation.

Like I wrote, I thought that it has something to do with mod_suexec
from apache2. But loading it didn't solve the problem.

But I looked nearer at this suexec, because it is exactly for things
like setuid and setgid and exactly here I saw the problem in the code.
So I figured out that mod_suexec uses /usr/sbin/suexec2. And "suexec2
-V" prints in OpenSuse 11.3:
 -D AP_DOC_ROOT="/srv/www"
 -D AP_GID_MIN=96
 -D AP_HTTPD_USER="wwwrun"
 -D AP_LOG_EXEC="/var/log/apache2/suexec.log"
 -D AP_SAFE_PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
 -D AP_UID_MIN=96
 -D AP_USERDIR_SUFFIX="public_html"

Interesting is here the "DOC_ROOT".
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/suexec.html
"This will be the only hierarchy (aside from UserDirs) that can be
used for suEXEC behavior."

So I tried to put "wEMBOSS_cgi" to "/srv/www/wEMBOSShome/wEMBOSS_cgi/"
and it worked!

But it also works with mod_suexec not loaded. So I think that
/usr/sbin/suexec2 is used directly (or only the settings are taken
from there) and not over mod_suexec. I think mod_suexec is only needed
for the SuexecUserGroup directive which is not needed for wEMBOSS.

Like you see in the quote, it should also be possible to use the
UserDirs. That meens in this configuration
-D AP_USERDIR_SUFFIX="public_html"
in /home/wEMBOSS/public_html for example. This I tried, but it didn't
work. Perhaps it must be the user under which the script is invoked
and this would be wwwrun, but I think it is not good to make wwwrun
able to log in.

So my question now: Can it make problems to put "wEMBOSS_cgi" to
"/srv/www/wEMBOSShome/wEMBOSS_cgi/"? For what reason did you put it to
/home/wEMBOSS? I didn't find an answer for this.

Thanks for help,
Stefan

PS: The vhost example in the installation example should be corrected.
It is written "/home/wEMBOSS2/wEMBOSS_cgi" but in this case apache 2.2
tries to access "wEMBOSS_cgicatch" instead of "wEMBOSS_cgi/catch". So
you have to write "/home/wEMBOSS2/wEMBOSS_cgi/"

Re: [wemboss-users] Error: Can't reset GID

[Stefan S. <s.n...@gm...>]

Only for information before someone wastes time with this problem:

After hours of work I figured out the problem. But I would need some
help to clarify the correct way to avoid it. I will post in detail
what the problem was as soon as I have time for. I think it is
important to work it out, because this problem will raise for security
reasons in a lot of linux distributions. Or better: I wonder that this
is in some distributions (including MAC OS) no problem and works out
of the box.

Re: [wemboss-users] Error: Can't reset GID

[Stefan S. <s.n...@gm...>]

I thought now that I have found the error: For security reasons in
Opensuse 11.3 mod_suexec is not loaded. I thought that this has to do
with this error. Now it is loaded:

/var/log/apache2/error_log -->
[notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec2)

But I still have the same error...

Any other idea?

Thanks,
Stefan

/usr/local/share/EMBOSS
/usr/local/bin
wwwrun
/srv/www

443
/home/wEMBOSS

For authentication I used /etc/shadow

Then I sett up apache2 and tried it out. But when I logged in with a
user (has a home dir), I got the error:
-->
error, catch

can't reset GID
<--
on https://c719-fs3.uibk.ac.at/wEMBOSS_cgi/catch?_action=start

I saw that here was reported a similar error, but with LDAP authentication:

After all this time I finally had the time to try this. Changing back to
the original code works again! Thank you for the hint.

Re: [wemboss-users] question about wEMBOSS and LDAP

[Guy B. <gb...@vu...>]

	Dear Christian,

It seems that there is a bug in LDAP. Harald Dahle from the Norvegian 
EMBnet Node did some tests and found that with LDAP authentication the 
program catch can retrieve the GID but fails to reset it. Your 
observation that with wEMBOSS version 1.8 there was no problem is 
interesting.

In wEMBOSS 1.8 for Linux the code of catch contained :

     if (setregid(getpwnam(user)->pw_gid, getpwnam(user)->pw_gid) < 0){
       print_error("catch        ", "can't reset GID ") ;
     }
     if (setreuid(userid, userid) < 0){
       print_error("catch", "can't reset UID ") ;
     }

This did not work on MacOS X, hence Marc Colet made an alternative 
version containing :

     if (setgid(getpwnam(user)->pw_gid) < 0){
       print_error("catch	", "can't reset GID ") ;
     }
     if (setuid(userid) < 0){
       print_error("catch", "can't reset UID ") ;
     }

In the mean time Linux distributions evolved so that the code for Mac 
worked on all platforms and hence wEMBOSS 2.2 contains only one version 
(the second one).

Harald Dahle finally made a change in catch.c. He removed the lines
     if (setgid(getpwnam(user)->pw_gid) < 0){
       print_error("catch	", "can't reset GID ") ;
     }
so that the files created under wEMBOSS belong to the group that owns 
the httpd process rather than to the group of the user. This is a minor 
nuisance. An alternatibe might have been to hard-code the GID in catch.

It is worth trying to put back the old code in catch.c and see what 
happens. Could you or someone else who has a server with Linux as OS and 
LDAP as authentication try to modify catch.c and see if wEMBOSS 2.2 works ?

To pick this up again. I tried wEMBOSS 2.x just now and found that I
also have "cannot reset GID" error now. With 1.8.1 this wasn't the case.
Anyone know what could be the problem?

[wemboss-users] wrappers4EMBOSS 2.5.0 released

[Guy B. <gb...@ul...>]

     Dear users of wrappers4EMBOSS,

version 2.5.0 of wrappers4EMBOSS has just been released. It has been
adapted to support EMBOSS version 6.3. It was necessary to modify some
ACD files since from EMBOSS 6.3.0 on parameters of which the minimum or
maximum allowed value depend on other parameters demand a special
treatment.

We have it running with ActiveDirectory (Grrrr). However we are using
PAM (mod_auth_pam) in Apache not mod_LDAP. Authentification  works as
long as local login works.
We are using Centos 5.5 (all 5.X worked) as Server and wEMBOSS-1.8.1

[wemboss-users] question about wEMBOSS and LDAP

[Guy B. <gb...@vu...>]

	Dear users of wEMBOSS,

I have a question : did someone already manage to make wEMBOSS work on a 
computer where LDAP is used as user authentication mechanism ? If so, 
which versions of the operating system, of wEMBOSS and of LDAP are you 
using ? And did you need to do any tweaking to get it working ?

The reason I ask this is that a new user of wEMBOSS encounters some 
problems, more particularly wEMBOSS produces a "cannot reset GID" error.

	Regards,
	Guy Bottu,
	wEMBOSS development team
