[ensembl-dev] VEP return error

[Will McLaren]

Hello,

Have you tried updating your API installation?

I seem to recall at least one other user encountering this problem (though
I can't seem to find reference to it in my email records), and I think it
was fixed by a patch to the API.

I would also recommend that you always use the latest version of the script
- this is now 2.7. If you use 2.7 you _must_ have the appropriate version
of the API installed - for 2.7 this is 69. You can see the corresponding
versions here:
http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/variation/vep/vep_script.html#download

To make it easier, you can run the INSTALL.pl script supplied in the script
download archive, which will install/update the API to the appropriate
version for the script.

Regards

Will McLaren
