Re: [Root-l] Intermittent MySQL problems on BioPerl wiki

Chris & Chris,

I've run the maintenance scripts for MediaWiki (just in case they 
weren't run in the upgrade to 1.8.2), restarted Apache (with no 
significant changes on website response), then rebooted the machine 
(seems like MySQL restart didn't do the trick) and apparently its 
behaving much better. Please check if the reported error still happens.

Regards,
Mauricio.

Hi Katie,

Currently there is not an RC5 PPM package available - we are hoping to
have the official 1.5.2 release out pretty soon and there will
definitely be a PPM package for that! Are you experiencing any problems
with your current version of bioperl? If not, there is no need to worry,
once we've released an updated PPM package your PPM GUI should then be
able to see it as an upgrade - hopefully! :o)

Sendu, I know you were working on automatically generating PPM packages
- what is the current situation with regards to this?

Nath

In your uniprot_sprot.dat file there'll be some kind of entry with that 
Photorhabdus species. Can you post that entry (sans sequence if it has 
one) so I can take a look at it? Maybe post a few that cause problems, 
and a few that don't.

In addition, using CPAN allows you to run the test suite easily without 
the need to download it separately and run it after a PPM install.

I don't know of a way to clean out ActivePerl - I use VMWare Workstation 
and have a virtual machine with a fresh install of WinXP and ActivePerl 
5.8.8.819 - maybe someone else has ideas?

Firstly, problems discovered and resulting fixes will help all 
platforms, not just Windows. So thanks for trying it out and reporting 
back. Secondly, the PPM method, like Bundle::BioPerl, is all-or-nothing. 
The CPAN installation method allows an interactive choice of which 
optional things to install.

If what you say about DB_File is true, then that's a great shame!

So I can do further trouble-shooting of my own, what is the sure-fire 
way to completely clean-out an ActivePerl install, including any modules 
you might have installed with PPMs or CPAN?

Yes, I understand that.  My point is, you are generally forced to use  
PPM anyway due to several modules not installing properly (all the  
'trouble' distributions, like DB_File, are available via PPM).  I can  
see using CPAN as an alternative way of installing Bioperl for a  
distribution, or as the primary method via CVS or manually, but not  
for distributions.  At least not until the kinks are worked out for  
Windows users.

What are the significant issues for a bioperl PPM installation, based  
on the last PPM Nathan set up?  If there is a redirection problem,  
could we just modify the installation docs to address that ('due to  
problem X, you must install the following modules prior to installing  
BioPerl 1.5.2...').

My thought was the two were related in some way.  I'm not sure to  
tell the truth.

CPAN isn't being suggested as the primary or preferred installation 
method for Windows. That will still be PPM. I'm mentioning CPAN / manual 
installation in the Windows INSTALL docs for the benefit of anyone who 
wants a simple install and test environment when checking out from CVS.
