Hi All,

I read about 20 different post on the same problem but I seem not to be able to solve it.

I just installed a local Galaxy following instruction at https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/GetGalaxy

I copied galaxy.ini.sample and renamed it galaxy.ini in the config directoy

I removed the # and inserted the email I used to register my user mymail@gmail.com

The galaxy.ini looks like this:

# Administrative users - set this to a comma-separated list of valid Galaxy
# users (email addresses).  These users will have access to the Admin section
# of the server, and will have access to create users, groups, roles,    
# libraries, and more.  For more information, see:
#   https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Interface
admin_users = mymail@gmail.com

I closed down galaxy (btw, how do you shut down galaxy without having to kill the PID to free the adress?) and restarted run.sh

But still no admin interface to install tools....

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!!

Don

Hi Danato,

First, make sure your admin_users email is matching the one you used to register and log in.

Second, you need to restart your Galaxy each time you modify your files in config/. You can do it in different ways:

If you launched your Galaxy like: sh run.sh => Just CTRL+C in the terminal and retype sh run.sh
If you launched your Galaxy like: sh run.sh --daemon (which I guess is what you did) => (sh run.sh --stop-daemon + sh run.sh --daemon) or sh run.sh --restart (or sh run.sh restart if Galaxy <= 16.01)
If you launched your Galaxy like: sh run.sh --reload => Nothing to do, Galaxy will watch the config files, and restart by himself if modified

Hope it helps!

Thank you! Using the sh run.sh did not work, but using the --daemon option made the admin panel appear... strange thing! Thank you very much!

the probable cause is that you have multiple Galaxies running on your machine and there is a mishmash in the configs; glad it works for you now

Do you see no Admin link in the top menu at all or are you just unable to install tools? If the latter you need to also specify tool_dependency_dir in the config.
