Hi All,
        I am new to ucsc genome browser. I trying to have a local instance of the browser. I am almost done with the installation.

I am able to get the home page in the browser. But when i click the Genome link in the home page I get a pop up (Screen shot -1).
I am not able to figure out the mistake.

When I run the hgGateway binary I get the following error (Screen shot -2)

Hello Vishwesh,

Thank you for your question about an error message when trying to open the CGIs on your mirror site. It looks like your site is trying to provide the CGI program as a file instead of running it. This most likely means that your web server configuration is incomplete, and you will need to modify the settings file to tell the server to run programs in the cgi-bin/ directory. For an Apache web server this will most likely involve the ScriptAlias setting. More information on permitting CGI scripts in Apache 2.2 (for example) is available at https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/cgi.html.

I hope this is helpful. If you have any further questions, please reply to gen...@soe.ucsc.edu or genome...@soe.ucsc.edu. Questions sent to those addresses will be archived in publicly-accessible forums for the benefit of other users. If your question contains sensitive data, you may send it instead to genom...@soe.ucsc.edu.

The first error is bc yr apache isn't set correctly - its treating the hgGateway as something to be served rather than something to be executed. That will be either file perms or apache settings.

Hi Vishwesh,

you can give the apache.conf in this github repo a try:
https://github.com/maximilianh/browserInstall/
It assumes that your browser and related files is installed in /usr/local/apache.

cheers
Max
