Step 3.2: Reload Ensembl website
The final step starts the webserver (and, if necessary, restarts it up to 5 times). Usually this will be enough but sometimes you may need to run this script again before your Ensembl instance becomes available at http://localhost:$HTTP_PORT/index.html
cd ~/ei/em
./reload-ensembl-site.sh ../conf/setup.ini
Next steps
If everything worked up to this point, congratulations you now have your very own Ensembl instance!
If you haven't already, now would be a good time to try Viewing your Ensembl instance, and taking a look at the troubleshooting tips if you're having trouble making your site visible.
Once you've taken a look at the default site, you may want to start customising your Ensembl, either Using plugins that already exist or Creating a plugin to modify your Ensembl in any way you want.
Configuration options
[WEBSITE]
HTTP_PORT = 8080
HTTP_PORT
is the port number that the Ensembl website will be hosted on. If this is set to a value below 1024 (e.g. port 80), the user running this step must have root permissions.
