AlphaFold2 Error - Could not find HHsearch database /data/pdb70/pdb70

I tried running a FASTA sequence on AlphaFold2 and it showed me this error:

Please let me know if there is an error with my input or within the tool
Thank you

Hi @sunag_parasu,
the problem is caused by the tool itself. I suggest you to try to run your analysis in the Australian Galaxy server; you can apply in the following link: AlphaFold 2.0.

Regards

The problem is that if we don’t have an email from an Australian institution, we can’t apply to that server. Any other option?

Hi @Ulises_Mancini

The AU server is the only public Galaxy server option that I know of.

Hi Jenn
To access the Alphafold 2.0 tool on the Australian server, you need to register with an email from an Australian institution.
Search in google “Galaxy Australia AlphaFold 2.0 Access Request”
Best!

Hi,

we have update Alphafold2 on the EU server to the latest version and also the underlying database.

Please try to new version 2.3.1 (Galaxy | Europe)

Happy research!

Welcome, @Julian_Martinez_Maye

Current Alphafold availability is…

Did the error come up at UseGalaxy.eu? If you haven’t tried there yet, please do and let us know how that goes :slight_smile:

Thanks for the quick answer. Yes, the problem seems to come up in the UseGalaxy.eu page.
Best,
Julián

Ok, thanks for clarifying.

Please submit a bug report from that red error dataset to report the problem to the EU administrators. You can include a link to this topic in the comments for context.

As of today, this problem should be solved on usegalaxy.eu, at least for the latest version of the tool (2.3.1+galaxy2). We are still running some more test cases for the latest version as well as for the older ones to make sure that this error is not arising in older versions of the tool.
