GWAPP is a Standalone GWAS Web Application that enables reseachers working with Arabidopsis thaliana to do Genome Wide Association Mapping (GWAS) on their phenotypes.
It can be accessed by following site: http://gwapp.gmi.oeaw.ac.at.
We also provide a production ready virtual box image of GWAPP which can be downloaded and run locally on any workstation or vmware cluster. All required packages are pre-configured. The machine was built on Ubuntu LTS 12.04 with an appropriate set of packages. We package the VM as an OVA template that should be importable into all of vmware's products and for Oracle's VirtualBox solution.

The VM has some default configuration settings and paths:
- Web-application: /srv/gwas-app/gwas-web-app
- GWAS library: /srv/atgwas
- Data-folder: /srv/data
- Genotype data: /srv/data/genotype
- HDF5 result files (per user): /srv/data/datasets
- Username: root
- Password: rootroot
The CherryPy application server runs on port 8080 and the nginx web-server runs on the default port 8081 and forwards the calls to the CherryPy application server.
Supervisord will make sure that the CherryPy application server is started when the vmware image boots up.
