could not open genomeParameters.txt

Question

[yueli7]

Hello,

By using STAR, I have already successfully generated genome indexes.

Apr 26 05:20:22 ..... finished successfully

Then I try to running mapping.

It said could not find open genome file. Actually, genomeParameters.txt was in my folder genomeDir.

Thanks in advance for great help!

EXITING because of FATAL ERROR: could not open genome file ./GenomeDir//genomeParameters.txt
SOLUTION: check that the path to genome files, specified in --genomeDir is correct and the files are present, and have user read permsissions

While it is tempting to ask a question here for an easy answer if you look at the ERROR in your post above it is giving you a good idea of what is wrong. If your try/search/fix the error on your own (there should be plenty of resources available on net) you will benefit most in the long run rather than us giving you an answer.

That said you are always welcome to ask questions and tell us what you tried to do for a fix if it does not work.

There is also a SOLUTION part that lists almost all possible solutions to this problem. Agree that OP needs to try and solve it themselves.

Thank you!

Please edit the original post. Take out the extraneous info noted by @h.mon below and make sure the complete command is posted there.

I've removed it as it has some sensitive info.

Please use the formatting bar (especially the code option) to present your post better. I've done it for you this time.

Also, I've removed your username, hostname and pwd from the command you posted. That is unnecessary information, please do not post it again.

Thank you so much for your help!

yueli7 : Looks like all is well.

[h.mon]

There is no need to include [redacted-username]@[redacted-hostname]:~/STAR-2.6.0a/source$ in you code output, it just adds clutter. And you ./STAR command-line is incomplete, it gets interrupted at /home/administrator/human/549_S124_.

I've removed (redacted) quasi-sensitive parts of OP's command prompt.
