Hi everyone,
I am trying to run Blast on galaxy local instance. I downloaded the NR and NT databases, and I specified the path in the blastdb.loc and blastdb_p.loc files as suggested in comments :
nr_15Jan2015 NCBI NR (non redundant) 15 Jan 2015 /data/GalaxyData/BlastDB/Fasta_NR_15012015/nr
Unfortunately I have this error for both nr and nt :
BLAST Database error: No alias or index file found for protein database [/data/GalaxyData/BlastDB/Fasta_NR_15012015/nr]
But in both nt and nr folder I have an alias file (nr.pal and nt.nal). What do I miss here please ?
Thank you for your help.
Christ

Well thanks to pvh_sa we found what was wrong. I modified the line to that :
nr NCBI NR (non redundant) 15 Jan 2015 /data/GalaxyData/BlastDB/Fasta_NR_15012015/nr
And it works. My guess is that the first field has to match with the name of the db in the end of the last fied...
