Open Microscopy Environment

I've installed OMERO.server 4.1.0 in OpenSuSE 11.0. I'm trying to run the client from the same machine, so I downloaded the clients (also 4.1.0), but when I double click on OMEROinsight_unix.sh, nothing happens. The same is true for OMEROeditor_unix.sh, and importer-cli. I've double-checked and they are all executable. Do I need to configure them somehow? I have Java 1.6.0 installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and let me know if there's any other information that would be useful.

Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,

You shouldn't need to do any configuration. Could you try opening a console, going to the 4.1.0 download directory, and running the shell scripts manually:

Code: Select all

./OMEROinsight_unix.sh


If an error message is printed to the console, that may help us further. You may also want to check in "~/omero/log" to see if any of the clients logged an error message to file.

Thanks,
~Josh.

It opens when I run the script directly from the console, but now there's a new problem: I can't connect to the database. I tried using 'localhost', and the DNS name for the server address, and neither work. I'm using the username and password that are listed in the output from 'bin/omero config get'. Could there be an issue with the firewall even if I'm trying to connect to the database locally?

I don't see any errors in the Blitz-0.log (there are a couple of warnings, 1 about upgrading, and the other that says 'Prefs file moved in background /etc/.java/.systemPrefs/prefs.xml'). That second warning is also in Indexer-0.log, but none of the other log files show any warnings or errors.

Some other notes: I haven't yet installed OMERO.web because I assume that is only necessary for the web interface. Is that correct?
I also had to manually create the DropBox folder in /OMERO. Could this be a problem?

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

The passwords from "bin/omero config get" are for connecting to PostgreSQL. You need the root administrator password that you created during "bin/omero db script". You might take a look at "Which password do I use where?" of our Troubleshooting page for more clarification:

For your other points:

• You're correct; OMERO.web is only required to have the webpage running.
• You shouldn't have to create "DropBox/". Were you getting an error?
• The prefs.xml issue is known and nothing to worry about.

Hope that helps. Cheers,
~Josh

I had read that section, but I guess I misunderstood it. Anyway, now it seems to be working. Thanks so much for your help!

About the DropBox folder, I was a getting an error in the DropBox.log, that the folder didn't exist. After I manually added it, I realized that there were other errors indicating that some dependencies were missing.

Thanks again!
