That didn't work on my development machine, no output at all. Having eventually found this Dev briefing apparently SQLite isn't supported: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Features/DevNewsBrief/2010_06_08 Is there any more documentation on this somewhere on the wiki that I've missed? It isn't working immediately on our production machine either - some relevant errors in reports_webapp.log include: sqlalchemy.exc.ArgumentError: Invalid SQLite URL: sqlite://./database/universe.d?isolation_level=IMMEDIATE Why would it use that connection string when I've recorded database_connection = postgres://... in reports_wsgi.ini? [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/galaxy-dist/database/compiled_templates/reports' Is that a folder? When is it meant to be created?

Re: [galaxy-dev] Tracking tool usage
They run under a separate Galaxy webapp which you configure using the reports_wsgi.ini in the Galaxy install directory ( copy reports_wsgi.ini.sample and make appropriate changes for your local app ). This is where you'll set a port, and connect to the same database your Galaxy instance uses. After setting the config, fire up the reports with: %sh run_reports.sh ... and direct your browser to the port you've set in the config.

[galaxy-dev] Tracking tool usage
Hi all, In brainstorming here about how to organise the tools menu in our local Galaxy, we considered an automatically populated list of the user's frequently or recently used tools. Unlike a favourites system, this doesn't require explicit action from the user. That brought us to another thought - does Galaxy track how often different tools are used? Even if that hasn't been done till now, it should be possible to trawl the database of all non-purged histories and tally up usage counts. That information would be helpful for many decisions - including optimising the listing for easy of use, or making sure the most used tools all have excellent documentation. If this could also count the run time as well as run count, it would be particularly helpful for identifying where most of the server time is spent, so which tools which would most benefit from optimisation or different hardware upgrades. Do you already do this internally for the main public Galaxy interface? Thanks, Peter ___ galaxy-dev mailing list galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu http://lists.bx.psu.edu/listinfo/galaxy-dev
