Hi Isabelle, $confFile, you need to set this to the registry file on your local machine. Some example registry files are under biomart-perl/conf/*.xml
the best way to begin is to use conf/martDBLocation.xml place your perl script under e.g biomart-perl/scripts set the $confFile variable to the said registry file. make sure, you set the environment variable PERL5LIB pointing to your perl modules plus path to biomart-perl/lib/ this should work. cheers syed On Mon, 2008-03-31 at 19:27 +0200, Isabelle Phan wrote: > I've installed Biomart perl API and am trying to run a script generated > from martview. > > I've set > > my $confFile = "http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?type=registry";; > > and I get > > mkdir: cannot create directory > `http://www.biomart.org/biomart/cachedRegistries': No such file or directory > cp: cannot stat `http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?type=registry': > No such file or directory > > Cached Registry Unavailable... > > Running Complete Clean... > > Unable to open configuration file > 'http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?type=registry', check file > existence and permissions > > > I.
