Question: Data Library And Symbolic Link

Hi all, I created data libraries using options "Upload files from filesystem paths" and "Link to files without copying into Galaxy". It worked but I use symbolic links because my data are frequently updated. The problem is that Galaxy takes the real link ("external_filename" column in "dataset" table) and doesn't find the files. Is there a way for galaxy to take the symbolic link in the database. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello, The guidelines regarding symbolic links in data library uploads in covered (with examples) in this wiki: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Data%20Libraries/Uploading%20Libra ry%20Files The basic of library loading are in this wiki, including instructions for uploading a new version of existing files: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Data%20Libraries/Libraries Going forward, you will want to use the galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu mailing list instead for questions about local installs - this will give your questions the best visibility to the development community: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Support#Mailing_Lists Hopefully this helps!
