[ensembl-dev] Problem in Running Ensembl Core API

[Urjaswita Yadav]

Dear List Members,

This maybe a bit naive question since i am using Ensembl API for the first
time. While trying to setup the Ensembl API, I followed the instructions and
I guess it installed correctly. I also have Bioperl and DBI installed.

But when I am trying to use any script e.g. Idmapper.pl (
ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/misc-scripts/ID_mapper_1.0/) it does not do
anything. It neither prints any output nor any error message. I tried some
other scripts too but the response is same: no error and no output, it just
remains executing. It even does not prints a statement that I write at the
top of program.

This might be a problem with proxy but I am not sure as I am able to ping
Ensembl database but am not able to connect to it using a database client
like SQLyog. However I am able to download files from internet using
LWP::Simple. While browsing the internet using mozilla I select "No proxy"
or "autodetect proxy" for the network.

I am using Windows XP. It would be a great help if anyone could suggest
anything. The programs I tried are attached.

Thanks in anticipation.

Best Regards,
Urjaswita
