transferred session dir to new docker instance "missing track for reordering" errors

[jgrundstad]

I'm attempting to recover/transplant old session directories into a new docker deployment of the browser and seeing several "Missing track for reordering" errors when loading them:

Restoring session...
Setting view range...
Loading 10 tracks...
done
Tracks added
hg19 Missing track for reordering: 8808312349985257
hg19 Missing track for reordering: 450151927555106
hg19 Missing track for reordering: 7996298516951332
hg19 Missing track for reordering: 7384525549182919
hg19 Missing track for reordering: refGene
Stand by

Hoping for some pointers on how to debug this. Thanks!

Hi @jgrundstad that would depends on the files the session trying to access, looks like the error is caused by missed files on the URLs listed in the session file (which is JSON format), you may check those http urls in the session file see if they really exist.

Thank you for the response. I've been digging into the json files and have found some outdated URLs, thank you for the tip. The missing refGene track is a bit confusing. I dug into the apache2 error log and found an error, is it related?

tabix file error: http://egg.wustl.edu/d/hg19/refGene.gz

Here's some more context from the error.log:

Hi @jgrundstad sorry about that error, you would need to load your old session, delete the tracks which didn't load, and use the https URL (eg. https://egg.wustl.edu/d/hg19/refGene.gz) to add that same track instead, then save a new session, that should work. All our servers were put under an https proxy only https links work now.

Thank you, will give that a try.
