I just installed SeqBuster on Mac OS X 10.6. When I try to select a species for miRbase under miRNA detection I don't see any species to select from. It looks to be code. Attached is a screenshot of what I'm seeing. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

Hi,

It os very weird. Do you have the folder DB inside the seqbuster folder, and the file mbhairpinRNA.db inside. Could u check the content of the file? is it fasta file?

cheers

Here's a screenshot of mbhairpinRNA.db. It appears to be an HTML file instead of a FASTA. How can I go about getting the proper file?

Hi,

did you install SeqBuster by svn command? it is weird you have that.
Actually I can not explain it. Just in case, here the instruction to
install it:

svn co http://seqbuster.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/seqbuster seqbuster

cd seqbuster

java -jar -Xms2000m -Xmx2000m SeqBuster.jar

And if you did that, the file can be found here:

http://seqbuster.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/seqbuster/DB/mbhairpinRNA.db?revision=37


Lo

Pasting over the mbhairpinRNA.db file worked!

Now I have a new problem. Whenever I try 'Do miRNA Analysis' I click through the menus then get an error that sends me to /temp/*.Rout

When I look at the file that the error references they all have the same message at the bottom:

Error in file(file, "r", encoding = encoding) :
  cannot open the connection
Calls: source -> source -> file
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "r", encoding = encoding) :
  cannot open file 'Rscripts/R/db.R': No such file or directory
Execution halted

When I installed SeqBuster everything it needed was detected. Any suggestions on what might be wrong? (Sorry, I have limited computer knowledge!)

Also, I think I figured out how I got that HTML-like file instead of the miRbase file.

I went to "Check Update" and then clicked "Check" for "Check DB versions:"

That brings up the message "Do you want to update to version <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Good.

ok, this file is created during installation. Could u go to the mysql
conf and check if you connect correctly to mysql?

if so, and the files was not created, you can do it manually, it looks like:

hostname<-"localhost"
username<-"root"
pssw<-"here you put the password if you have it"
dbname<-"seqbuster"
port<-0

when you installed mysql, if you didn't do anything else:

username<-"root"
pssw<-"""

But if you didn't complete all the steps in the installation maybe it
breaks. There was a button in the second windows that pop up the first
time you run it, with the label "create" and during this step is when
this file should be created. I attach you how this windows looks like.


PS: thanks to let me know about that problem. I will fix it.
Lo
