Hello,
I had sequenceserver running and online using apache2+passenger in our production server:
last week the sequenceserver app stop running from:
http://impam2.fmed.uba.ar/blast/
it was working all ok, but now it states it cannot find the database, It shows:
Something to be careful with when using SequenceServer with Apache is file permissions. Apache processes run as a different user (e.g., www-data, no-user) and this user may either not have the access to read your config file or your database dir. That’s probably what’s happening here.

Hello Priyam,
Thanks for your reply,
I am still working around the issue, I tried the permissions but I did not have luck.
Here is my sequenceserver.service script for systemd:
root@impam2:/etc/systemd/system# more sequenceserver.service
`
[Unit]
Description = “running sequenceserver at startup”
Wants=network-online.target
After=network.target network-online.target
#After = network.target
[Service]
ExecStart = /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/sequenceserver-1.0.11/bin/sequenceserver
User= glichtenstein
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target
`
Here is the output when I check its status:
root@impam2:/etc/systemd/system# systemctl status sequenceserver
`

Here are the permissions for the .sequenceserver.conf and .sequenceserver folder:

Here is the contents of the .sequenceserver.conf file:

Hi Gabriel,
I am sorry for the slow response and for your troubles. Thanks for the info. It looks like SequenceServer is not able to read the config file. I think making your home directory readable and executable by others should resolve the issue:
chmod go+rx /home/glichtenstein
You may still get an error. But it should be “blast database error” or “no blast database found” instead of “database dir not set". In this case, you will want to similarly change permission for /share/apps/databases/sequenceserver (and its parent directories) so that the database files are readable by SequenceServer.
