*BLAST Database error: DB contains no accession info

When I run my blastp search against the NCBI swissprot it works fine. Here is my output

$ sudo blastp -db swissprot -query RpsB.faa -outfmt "7 std taxid" -seqidlist SACC_960_hits_SI2vs5kRpob.pacc.bsl
# BLASTP 2.10.1+
# Query: sp|P0A7V0|RS2_ECOLI 30S ribosomal protein S2 OS=Escherichia coli (strain K12) OX=83333 GN=rpsB PE=1 SV=2
# Database: swissprot
# Fields: query acc.ver, subject acc.ver, % identity, alignment length, mismatches, gap opens, q. start, q. end, s. start, s. end, evalue, bit score
# 2 hits found
sp|P0A7V0|RS2_ECOLI     Q9KW14.1        25.000  24      18      0       201     224     111     134     5.5     15.8

# BLAST processed 1 queries

However, When I run the same blastp against a database i created from a web based blast search i receive the error.

$ sudo blastp -db RpsB_nr_1k.faa  -query RpsB.faa -outfmt "7 std taxid" -seqidlist SACC_960_hits_SI2vs5kRpob.pacc.bsl
BLAST Database error: DB contains no accession info.

Is there a way for me to receive a similar output as the swissprotdb from my database I created? im trying to get rid of this error. Thanks for help

Your fasta file may need to be in a certain format for this to work exactly like that example. You have to use the -parse_seqids option when you create the database.

An aside: There is not need to use sudo to run a user program.

when I add -parse_seqids it says

$ makeblastdb -in RpsB_nr_1k.faa -dbtype prot -parse_seqids

Without -parse_seqids the database is able to be made still

also when I do sudo this happens

$ sudo makeblastdb -in RpsB_nr_1k.faa -parse_seqids -dbtype prot

however the database still gets made i believe but I get the same error as before when trying to blastp the database i made.

Here are the headers

$ sudo grep "^>" RpsB_nr_1k.faa | head -3
>EFF0795401.1 30S ribosomal protein S2 [Escherichia albertii]
>AAV39589.1 ribosomal protein S [synthetic construct]
>AHA63052.1 SSU ribosomal protein S2P [Shigella dysenteriae 1617]

also, how would I go about changing this parameter?

"BLASTDB_LMDB_MAP_SIZE=1000000

This environment variable is necessary for the makeblastdb command. BUT, the larger your files the larger that size needs to be. If I set it to 1GB, everything works perfectly fine and runs and its just exactly perfect and what is expected"

thanks

export BLASTDB_LMDB_MAP_SIZE=1000000 in the terminal where you are running this from.

I tried the export command but am getting the same error, I also tried $ export BLASTDB_LMDB_MAP_SIZE=1000000000

did not work same error
