Hi

I have been trying to upload some of my sequences on PHACTS but it wont let me. it goes to 100% but i cant click on submit sequences button. Then after a while it shows a proxy error.

I am using this link

It looks like the file system on our cluster is down.   I will try to get someone to bring it back online or switch to a different fs

Hi,
I have the same problem with PHACTS program. It will be available soon or there is more serious problem with this program?

This error seems to be back.  I get it either using Chrome or Microsoft Edge.  I tried it with my own file and the lambda.faa example file I downloaded from your site.

I don't have access currently to the server that runs web version.  But I recently recoded the entire project into python, which can be run locally much easier.

It should only take two commands to install and run the new version:

    pip install phacts

    phacts.py tests/NC_001416.faa

Though there is the extra step of downloading the FASTA35 binary and putting it someplace that is visible on the PATH.  It's pretty easy for Linux and Mac, since I have compiled binaries for each on the github, but if you are Windows using WSL, it might be more involved.

I was working on automatically installing fasta35, but got busy with other tools.
