DanRussell	Hi Jordan, Apologies, we haven't done a great job of letting everyone know the updated Phamerator settings. We've combined all of the Actinobacteria phages into a single Phamerator database. It is now available by using the following settings in Phamerator (go to Edit–>Preferences in Phamerator to change these values). Take care to type exactly, because these are all case-sensitive and must be input exactly as shown. Server: http://phamerator.webfactional.com/databases_Hatfull Database: Actino_Draft After entering both of these values, click "Force Database Update". Wait while Phamerator updates, then it'll prompt you to restart. Do that. If you're prompted for a password at any point, it should be simply: "phage". –Dan Edited 05 Oct, 2015 14:00

After entering both of these values, click "Force Database Update". Wait while Phamerator updates, then it'll prompt you to restart. Do that. If you're prompted for a password at any point, it should be simply: "phage".

DanRussell	asjahfed Hi Dan, Were you able to figure out what the problem may be with the download? Thanks, -Asjah F. Hi Asjah, I haven't been able to figure out any download-specific problems. We've tested the downloads at several different places and they seem to work. Are you using a hard-wired connection or a wireless connection? I'd recommend hard-wired if you can. It's actually Dropbox that's serving the files, so it should be reputable and reliable. You could also try a different browser if you continue having trouble, or a different internet connection in case there are file-size limits on the ISP you're using. –Dan Edited 28 Sep, 2015 14:26

DanRussell	For anyone else who's looking, Starterator is installed only on the seastudent account, so you'll have to log into that one. There should be an icon on the left bar for Starterator thereafter. –Dan

DanRussell	asjahfed Hi, I have a PC and I've been trying to download and unzip the Sea VM file but I keep getting an error saying that the zip file is invalid. Can someone please help me if they have encountered the same problem or knows how to fix this. Thanks, -Asjah F. Hi Asjah, What version of Windows are you using? First I would verify that the entire file downloaded. You can check the size (~4.7 Gb) but I'd also suggest verifying the md5sum value to be completely sure you have the intact file. You can use a program like HashCheck on Windows to figure out the md5sum of the file you downloaded. It should exactly match the md5sum posted here. If you're sure you downloaded the entire file, and the md5sum matches, please post here and let us know, and we'll get to the bottom of it. –Dan

DanRussell	Okay, the Virtual Machine page is now public, but the download links are disabled unless a faculty member is logged in. In addition, only the student password is visible to non-faculty. Hope that works, and let me know if there are any issues. –Dan

DanRussell	cdshaffer Dan, Can you create a page that students can get to that has all the instructions for installing the machine just like on the protected /software/virtualmachine/ page? I would like to be able to point students to all those well written instruction on how to go about installing virtual machines once I give them the virtual disk I want them to use. thanks That's a good point, Chris. I'll try to rework the page so that it's open to everyone but only has the download links for logged-in faculty. –Dan

DanRussell	Thanks to you both! Hopefully this will help anyone who's looking to avoid purchasing extra Windows licenses, or just prefers working on a Mac and doesn't want to bother with a Linux and a Windows VM. –Dan

DanRussell	Hi all, Does anyone have experience using Wine to run DNA Master on a Mac without having to install a Windows virtual machine? If so, any words of wisdom/caution/warning/enthusiasm? Thanks, –Dan

DanRussell	Sharon Isern Can students get access to the VM 2016 via seaphages.org? Or do they have to be logged in as faculty? We're in class right now. Thanks!! Because of the software included, we couldn't post it totally publicly. And since there's no "registered student" accounts on PhagesDB, there's no way to give them access to the protected page. That said, I'll email you (and any other faculty who want it) the magic link! –Dan
