Before starting the web server, ensure you've created a database and have at least one background file.
As more genome annotation data become available, it's a good idea to use the latest version of the data without losing previous database snapshots. Simply re-run the dbcreator module specifying new database [dir] name according to the conventions. Multiple comma-separated database names can be supplied to the server module, allowing a user to select desired database version from a drop-down menu.
We start the web interface as:
python -m grsnp.server -g hg19 -d [dir1],[dir2],[dir3] -r [dir1]
where the -d argument accepts a single or comma-separated full paths to the databases.
The -r argument specifies path to the results folder.
Access GenomeRunner on http://localhost:8000/gr/.
The server module creates a log file (genomerunner_server.log) in the [dir] folder - study it for troubleshooting.
