Connecting to Actinobacteriophage Database

| posted 22 Feb, 2021 15:37
Hi
I’m hoping someone can help. I have been trying to connect to the Actinobacteriophage database directly using mySQL and I found some instructions on

https://pdm-utils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/install_database.html

and followed those but hit a stumbling block as the location of the file holding the data is given as http://phamerator.webfactional.com/databases_Hatfull/Actinobacteriophage.sql but it gives a file not located error. Does anyone know what location the actual database file is accessible from so that I can just make a local copy and access it using mySQL or something similar?

Many thanks

Greg

Hi Greg,

Yes, indeed, we had to move everything to a new location when our old web hosting company was acquired by G*D***y. Here's the new URL for our databases:

http://databases.hatfull.org/Actino_Draft/

Specifically, if you want the same database that's current in Phamerator and PhagesDB:

http://databases.hatfull.org/Actino_Draft/Actino_Draft.sql

(Don't click that link, it'll download the whole database!)

Take care,
–Dan
