ENSEMBL Install

At this moment (2010-05-08) this is not a validated procedure guaranteed to give you a fully functional local ENSEMBL mirror / instance. These are observations observations made during an ongoing attempt to get such working installation.

Hardware

• 4 cores Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz
• 16GB RAM

This is not a prerequisite, but compilation times on slower machine will take longer time.

Software

• Fedora 8 64-bit Linux
• gcc 4.1.2

Requirements

• without any databases sources directories < 1 Gb,
• destination directory (apache2, mysql, perl, perl modules, ensembl + bioperl code, etc. ca 600Mb

General remarks

This is an attempt to get a working local ENSEMBL in a step-by-step fashion. Most likely one can get away with a bit smaller number of perl modules, no brand new copy of Perl, using distribution-specific apache2, etc. On the other hand for an ENSEMBL newbie, the safest path is to stay at the beginning as close to the provided configuration as possible. Instead of performing 100 steps, from software components installation, MySQL database creation, data loading and with final editing of ENSEMBL configuration files it may be safer to treat each of the steps separately and use error messages as checkpoints.

Web server installation

ENSEMBL relies on mod_perl.

Perl

http://www.perl.org/get.html got perl-5.12.0

cd perl-5.12.0
cd perl-5.12.0/
CFLAGS='-m64 -mtune=nocona'  ./Configure -des -A ccflags=-fPIC -Dprefix=/home/ensembl_usr/local/ 
make
make test
make install

The "CFLAGS" line is required on 64-bit Linux system to compile mod_perl. See relevant section below

Apache httpd

http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi got httpd-2.2.15.tar.gz

installation:

./configure  --enable--deflate --enable--headers --enable--expires --prefix=/home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2
make
make test
make install

checking what is build in:

/home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES

my output:

core_module (static)
 authn_file_module (static)
 authn_default_module (static)
 authz_host_module (static)
 authz_groupfile_module (static)
 authz_user_module (static)
 authz_default_module (static)

 cgi_module (static)
 negotiation_module (static)
 dir_module (static)

I do not get here modules: deflate, headers, expires

What works (in httpd-2.2.15 directory):

cd ./modules/filters/
/home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs -c mod_deflate.c
cp -i .libs/mod_deflate.so /home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2/modules/

cd ../metadata/
/home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs -c mod_headers.c  
cp -i .libs/mod_headers.so /home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2/modules/


/home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs -c mod_expires.c 
cp -i .libs/mod_expires.so /home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2/modules/

cd /home/ensembl_usr/local/ensembl/modules
ln -s /home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2/modules/*.so .

mod_per 4 apache2.x

http://perl.apache.org/download/index.html got mod_perl-2.0.4

cd mod_perl-2.0.4
perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

make install

Perl modules required by ENSEMBL

Assumes that you installed Perl in /home/ensembl_usr/local/ and got perl binary in /home/ensembl_usr/local/bin/

Check the list of modules here i.e: http://browser.1000genomes.org/info/docs/webcode/install/non-ensembl-code.html

There are several versions of this list of modules, but ultimately you may be missing several not listed modules, and you will get their names (one by one) after trying to start your ENSEMBL site.

Despite the advise of installing always the newest module versions there is one important exception: LWP. LWP version 5.812 is required by latest (2.57) ParallelUserAgent. This will be covered in a separate section of this page.

Also some modules do not install (at least on my machine) from perls CPAN shell. These may require installation by hand from sources (described later).

From sources

• DBD::mysql

Problem: requires MySQL (at least mysql client) on the same machine

• • install MySQL

mysql-5.1.46

./configure --prefix=/home/ensembl_usr/local/
make 
make check
make test

this is a long compile even on a fast machine.

• • DBD::mysql itself

cd DBD-mysql-4.014
perl Makefile.PL --with-mysql=/home/ensembl_usr/local/mysql/
make
make install

Not tested: for proper testing you have to have an access to a running MySQL instance

• Bio::Das::Lite

===> problem in CPAN shell: install Bio::Das::Lite

depends on WWW::Curl , reports SZBALINT/WWW-Curl-4.11.tar.gz Running make install

 make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

going for source install

• • WWW::Curl

got: WWW-Curl-4.11

cd WWW-Curl-4.11/
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/ensembl_usr/local/
make
make test
#Failed 1/20 test programs. 3/177 subtests failed.
#make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255

make install

• • Bio::Das::Lite

cd Bio-Das-Lite-2.03/
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/ensembl_usr/local/
make
make test
#Failed 18/22 test programs. 0/1 subtests failed.

make install

This one does not look good. A number of errors like "Bareword "CURLOPT_PROXYUSERNAME" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at lib/Bio/Das/Lite.pm line 861.". No solution at this point.

• Template::Toolkit

Used by BioMart got Template-Toolkit-2.22

cd Template-Toolkit-2.22
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/ensembl_usr/local/
make
make test
#All tests successful.
make install

ParallelUserAgent

The most current version (2.57) has not been updated in years, and requires old (5.812) wersion of LWN.

• git (in case you do not have it)

http://git-scm.com/ got git-1.7.1

./configure --prefix=/home/ensembl_usr/local/
make 
make test
make install
<pre>

* libwww  ver. 5.812

<pre>
mkdir libwww_old
cd libwww_old
git clone git://gitorious.org/libwww-perl/mainline.git
cd mainline
git checkout R5.812
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/ensembl_usr/local/
make 
make test
#local/httpsub.t      (Wstat: 512 Tests: 0 Failed: 0)
#  Non-zero exit status: 2
#  Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output
# <snip>
# Failed 1/33 test programs. 0/833 subtests failed.

• ParallelUserAgent (itself)

export PERL5LIB=/home/ensembl_usr/local/lib/perl5/

wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MA/MARCLANG/ParallelUserAgent-2.57.tar.gz
tar xfvz ParallelUserAgent-2.57.tar.gz
cd ParallelUserAgent-2.57
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/ensembl_usr/local/
make 
make test
# All tests successful.
make install

Summary of this stage

Most of the components install OK to this point. Broken stuff:

• Bio::Das::Lite (possibly older version of Perl may have been more tolerant?)

ENSEMBL code

BioPerl

The required version for parsing BLAST results in ENSEMBL is BioPerl 1.2.3. According to some users posting at dev-ensembl mailing list, you may try to go with newest BioPerl. BLAST searches will not work, but ensembl-api should be OK. Since I am not sure what will give us better overall functionality, we can fork here and get both branches for future testing.

UNRESOLVED 2010-05-08: "normal" installation of BioPerl requires building it (perl Makefile.PL etc.). So far none of the pages describing ENSEMBL install mentions this step. For time being I stop at unpacking BioPerl.

• BioPerl 1.2.3

CVS repository does not exist anymore, we have to get the whole thing from: http://search.cpan.org/~birney/bioperl-1.2.3/

wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/B/BI/BIRNEY/bioperl-1.2.3.tar.gz
tar xfvz bioperl-1.2.3.tar.gz
mv bioperl-1.2.3/ /home/ensembl_usr/local/ensembl_2010.05.08
cd /home/ensembl_usr/local/ensembl_2010.05.08
ln -s bioperl-1.2.3 bioperl-live/

• Latest bioperl-live

Requires that you have subvertion installed (not covered here in case you do not) in: some place you unpack sources

svn co svn://code.open-bio.org/bioperl/bioperl-live/trunk bioperl-live
mv bioperl-live bioperl-live.2010.05.08
mv bioperl-live.2010.05.08 /home/ensembl_usr/local/ensembl_2010.05.08/
cd /home/ensembl_usr/local/ensembl_2010.05.08
ln -s ./bioperl-live.2010.05.08 ./bioperl-live

This is where we should have (almost, see below ) all what is needed for running the site.

ENSEMBL configuration

I change the configuration in an incremental fashion, starting with the small changes.

Step 1

• Edit: /home/ensembl_usr/local/ensembl/conf/httpd.conf

change:

<Perl>
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

to:

<Perl>
#!/home/ensembl_usr/local/bin/perl -w

• loadable apache modules

in /home/ensembl_usr/local/ensembl/conf/httpd.conf there are few modules required. To check this, simply run:

/home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -d  /home/ensembl_usr/local/ensembl/

If you got any complains about mod_perl, mod_deflate, mod_headers, mod_expires, one possibility is to link these from our apache2/modules to ensembl/modules directory:

cd /home/ensembl_usr/local/ensembl_2010.05.08
ln -s /home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2/modules/*.so .

when starting "/home/ensembl_usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -d /home/ensembl_usr/local/ensembl/" you should have:

Starting up Ensembl server on host: myhost.mydomain.org

It does not complain about missing modules here, so lest hope everything to the point of getting MySQL database connection looks OK.
