I did remove that line but doesn't help. I still keep getting this error:
MSG: <hr><p id="blastErr"><font color="red">An error has occurred on the
server, The server is unable to format right now, please try again in a few
minutes.  If the problem  (Informational Message: No alias or index file
found for protein database [nr/nt] in search path
[/export/home/splitd/blastdb/blast0:/blast/db/disk.blast/blast1::]) persists
-  Contact Blast-help at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and include your RID:
4KJE1YJ601N</font></p><hr>

Any pointers ??
