Local Ensembl install

There are several possible main configurations for installing Ensembl locally with increasing level of complexity.

Running virtual image from Eagle Genomics

The current version (v57) of EagleBrowser are here: http://www.eaglegenomics.com/downloads/eaglebrowser/

It is a system image to be run inside VMware Virtual Machine. It connects to public Ensembl MySQL database, but stores local user data locally.

Pros: simplest to install, gives a chance to look at a working ENSEMBL setup (not tested yet: ssh connection).

remote MySQL Ensembl DB + local SQLite for ensembl_web_user_db

So far not successfully tested. Potentially useful for testing all the components required by Ensembl except connection to local MySQL. There is a special Ensembl plugin (./public-plugins/sqlite/) but no information how to make it work.

remote MySQL Ensembl DB + local MySQL for ensembl_web_user_db

Tested on Ununtu 9.10. Useful for testing all the components required by Ensembl plus finding discrepancies between local and remote MySQL DB.
