Hi Zhiliang,

The "biomart-server.sh stop" command will look at the biomart.pid file inside 
dist directory and kill that process. It may be that the process was already 
killed but the pid file still remained.

I'm not sure how Xming works, but the "biomart-server.sh start" script should 
be launching the BioMart process as a daemon process. You could try running the 
script through a "screen", which you can detach from using ^A^D (Ctlr+A, 
Ctlr+D), and reattach using "screen -r". This will allow you to resume previous 
screen sessions on the Linux server even if your client disconnects.

The "HTTP Error" occurs during querying when an URL source is not accessible by 
the BioMart server. Do you have a firewall that prevents access to outside 
resources?

Thanks to the hard work by the Biomart team - I was able to download the

Everything seems working alright, except that the serve "ram away" a few
times (quitely die).  The observations are:

I use Xming to operate remote Biomart GUI on my Windows XP. I can start
the Biomart with "biomart-server.sh" GUI.  When done I can close the GUI
and release the shell to it prompt, and even logout from the shell, while
Biomart is running.  However I have to keep my Xming alive in the
background. When I attempt to turn off Xming, it warns:

  There are currently 2 clients connected; Shut down these client/server?

If I close Xming on my PC, the Biomart on my remote Linux dies.

I also tried to run the server from the command line, as in:
  > /usr/local/biomart/dist/scripts/biomart-server.sh start

Sometimes it complains there is already a biomart running, while
"biomart-server.sh stop" won't really stop it, that I had to kill the
process (it's a short process name, different from normal) to try again.

Sometimes it starts, but I got errors on the http/web:
  HTTP Error, problem accessing /.Reason: Cannot find

Any advice please?

Zhiliang
