Hi all,
So I am currently running QIIME 1 on a Oracle virtual machine (v5.1.26) for analysis of seagrass associated microbiome samples.
I am new to this QIIME business, so have a weak base when it comes to error solves.
The code im running is make_rarefaction_plots.py on data output from a refined USEARCHv11 OTU and denoising pipeline
alpha_rarefaction.py -i table_tax.biom -m SAMPLE_MAP.txt -o alphadiversity -p alpha_params.txt
I have created the alpha_params.txt file with desired metrics - those being: shannon,simpson,choa1,observed_otus
The following is then displayed:
*** ERROR RAISED DURING STEP: Rarefaction plot: All metrics
Command run was:
make_rarefaction_plots.py -i alphadiversity/alpha_div_collated/ -m SAMPLE_MAP.txt -o alphadiversity/alpha_rarefaction_plots/
Command returned exit status: 1
Stdout:
Stderr
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise QiimeParseError(“No header line was found in mapping file.”)
qiime.parse.QiimeParseError: No header line was found in mapping file.
The output folder 'alphadiversity/alpha_rarefaction_plots is then created but without any output files
I am certain that the mapping file has a header, which sadly is the only error output I can interpret…
Welcome all help,
Be kind : )
