Way to mount remote directory in linux and accessing it over apache

Plenty different ways are out there like Samba, NFS or FTP. I tried FUSE which uses SSH protocol.

 Step 1: Install fuse-ssh in the system where you want to have remote directory.

Ubuntu: apt-get install sshfs
Redhat: yum install fuse-sshfs.x86_64

Step 2:  Enable password less SSH login
Make sure that you have openssh-server and openssh-client in your system. then issue 'ssh-keygen' command. Then copy id_rsa.pub generated to remote systems ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

 Step 3: In /etc/fuse.conf  enable 'user_allow_other'
If you dont do this apache wont be able to access mounted directoy

Step 4: Mounting remote directory
sshfs -o allow_other, uid=1000, gid=1000, IdentityFile=~/.ssh/authorized_keys root@XXX.XX.X.XX:/var/www/html/JBrowse/data /var/www/data


Now you should be able to access data directory over apache.
To unmount the directory use: fusermount -u /var/www/data

Unzipping password protected files of Michigan Imputation Server

while unzipping imputation server zip files with 'unzip -P', you may end up in seeing an error; unsupported compression method 99. To solve this, you need to install p7zip-full tool. sudo apt-get install p7zip-full then use 7za x -Pyour_password file_to_be_unzipped.zip Note: 1. if you have any special characters in your password, flag them with \ sign. 2. do not have space between -P and your password

CollabNet: a Subversion client for Netbeans

As of now it is hard to find CollabNet debian package. Hence, I went back to traditional way of installing .rpm packages available for CollabNet. A simple guide is presented here for you, Firstly install alien package which converts .rpm packages to .deb sudo apt-get install alien then, download http://downloads-guests.open.collab.net/files/documents/61/921/CollabNetSubversion-client-1.5.1-2.i386.rpm Run, sudo alien --to-deb CollabNetSubversion-client-1.5.1-2.i386.rpm this will convert .rpm to .deb then run, sudo dpkg -i collabnetsubversion-client_1.5.1-2_i386.deb Now, configure Netbeans with SVN. Go to Netbeans > tools > options > set the proxy (check whether you need it or not) Then, tools > options > select Versioning (Subversion) > miscellaneous > provide SVN executable path (often /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin) then, go to Team > Subversion > Check out > Mention SVN repo URL (http://your_repo.org/svn/ProjectName/trunk) Finally, select the check out folde...

Scatter Plot Matrix in Lattice: A way to join multiple scatter plot matrices in one plot

Image
A best way to understand relationship between quantitative variables is visualizing data with pairwise correlations. Recently, I had to display pairwise correlation of multiple phenotypes with respect genotypes of a variant. Since, 'scatterplotMatrix' function available in 'car' package of R is one stop solution to do that I initially used it. However, I was surprised when I wanted to bring multiple plots on one single plot. Because, below scripts did not create a plot having side by side plot. library(car) data1=data[rs3827103=='GG',] data2=data[rs3827103=='GA',] par(mfrow=c(1,2)); scatterplotMatrix(~SBP + DBP + Leptin + WC + BMI + Weight | factor(data1$rs3827103), data=data1, diagonal='none', pch=c(18),smoother=FALSE, reg.line=lm) scatterplotMatrix(~SBP + DBP + Leptin + WC + BMI + Weight | factor(data2$rs3827103), data=data2, diagonal='none', pch=c(18),smoother=FALSE, reg.line=lm) I finally could find reason for this to behave ...
