blast xml results/parsing not working (database not configured)

[smriti-135]

I am exactly following the tutorial shown in the Tripal and Tripal Blast docs.
While trying to upload XML file as given here https://tripal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/example_genomics/func_annots/blast.html

I am unable to see the database in the dropdown. The databases are not getting shown in the Blast tool page as well.
It is mentioned that

visit the Blast Settings page and configure a database under the "BLAST Parsing" section.

but I have already done it. I still tried it again many times but not getting "ExPASy Swiss-Prot" and "NCCBI nr" in the "Configured Database" panel even though I am selecting them from the dropdown to configure them.

I am using Drupal 7.100 with PHP8.1 in Ubuntu.

Hi @smriti-135 I've moved this issue over to the Tripal Analysis blast module as it handles the parsing of XML results, not Tripal Blast. We know the fact that there are two modules here is confusing and have been talking about merging them for years but simply do not have the bandwidth to do so. Hopefully @spficklin or one of the other maintainers can help you with this issue.

Thank you for the clarification, it is indeed a bit confusing 😅. I will follow up with them here
