Hello and good day everyone,

I'd like to install local Blast2GO database into my desktop. It is mac os x operating system. I already followed the 'Step-by-Step Description' provided on the blast2go website.

Actually, this is what I did:

1. Download this zip file "local_b2g_db" and unzip it
2. Install a MySQL Database Server
3. Download and unzip the following 4 files:
   • go_201405-assocdb-data
   • gene_info
   • gene2accession
   • idmapping.tb

After these three steps were finished, I moved all these files into my working directory at /Users/redspider/b2g. Then I used a script as follows as outlined here to import the data:

#!/bin/sh
godbname=go_201405-assocdb-data
dbname=b2gdb         
dbuser=root                          
dbpass=test123                 
dbhost=localhost                       
dbport=3306                            
path=/Users/redspider/b2g

echo 1. Create the DB Tables and user
mysql -h$dbhost -P$dbport -u$dbuser -p$dbpass < b2gdb.sql

echo 2. Import $godbname
mysql -h$dbhost -P$dbport -u$dbuser -p$dbpass $dbname < $godbname

echo 3. Import gene2accession
mysql -h$dbhost -P$dbport -u$dbuser -p$dbpass $dbname -e"LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '$path"/gene2accession"' INTO TABLE gene2accession FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';"

echo 4. Import gene_info
mysql -h$dbhost -P$dbport -u$dbuser -p$dbpass $dbname -e"LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '$path"/gene_info"' INTO TABLE gene_info FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';"

echo 5. Import idmapping.tb
java -cp .:mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar: ImportIdMapping $path/idmapping.tb $dbhost:$dbport $dbname blast2go blast4it
echo All data imported.

Unfortunately, I've been getting stuck at 'echo 2'. The problem was that mysql seemed to quit automatically just after ~30 min once the script started (the following information showed the database/table status when the process halted).

When I checked my Error log file, I noticed suspicious warning messages like

2014-05-22 15:37:02 232 [Warning] Warning: Enabling keys got errno 0 on b2gdb.association, retrying

I've tried several times but always got these warnings and the data import never accomplished : ( So, I'm really hoping for suggestion to solve this problem. Thank you.

Best,
Hong
