[Gmod-gbrowse] GBrowse 500 internal server error

Hi all,

This issue has been resolved with the help of Nathan Weeks! It turns out
the session database located in /var/lib/gbrowse2/sessions/ had become
corrupted when the file system temporarily filled up. Renaming the
databases cgisesss.db and cgisess.db.lck to force apache to recreate them
resolved the NaN issue.

Thanks,
John

Hello,
We have GBrowse installed on a server running CentOS 6.5, and haven't had
any issues until earlier today. I tried to load a very large track into an
SQLite database with the bp_seqfeature_load script, but this eventually
consumed all of the available disk space in the /tmp folder. I deleted a
very large file in the /tmp directory with a name like "feature.00000"
(where 00000 was some random #) to immediately free up space. When I
checked GBrowse afterwards, it was working fine in Chrome but not Firefox,
IE, or Safari. I tried restarting apache and running the gbrowse_clean.pl
script, and somehow or another I managed to break it in Chrome too...
The browser is currently reporting a 500 server error when making a POST
request in the prototype.js file.

I suspect the issue is with the view_start=NaN;view_end=NaN parameters in
the POST request (highlighted above). Does anyone have any advice about
what could be causing this issue?
