Problems creating Galaxy Admin privilages

Question: Problems creating Galaxy Admin privilages

2.5 years ago by

Hello all,

I am trying to allow my account to have admin access on galaxy. I am using the galaxy tutorials found at: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/GetGalaxy, but once i change the galaxy.ini.sample file to galaxy.ini.main and change the admin_users = None to admin_user = "erika_gedvilaite@yahoo.com", no change occurs in the main, web access account. I would like to pull couple tools from Galaxy ToolShed, but without the admin account, I am not able to do it.

If anyone has a better tutorial, or can link me to a previous link, it' would be greatly appreciated.

Best of luck to all of the Galaxy team at doing an amazing job.

WE ARE...

Best,

Erika Gedvilaite

Dear BioStars/Galaxy team

I reinstalled galaxy on my MacOS
Created a new account --> erikakelly13@gmail.com
Confirmed the email that was sent out by galaxy team
Edited the galaxy.ini file so that the admin_user was 1) did not have the hashtag in front of it and 2) typed in the new email as erikakelly13@gmail.com
restarted galaxy and entered the http://127.0.0.1:8080 webpage which was provided, but once I try to login two things happen: 1) The galaxy login does not recognize my email 2) When i go through the regular galaxy webpage, I can login perfectly fine with the login, but there is no admin button.

All i want to do is to download one tool kit from Tool Shed to build a pipeline for myself to use at my internship.

Thank you in advance for all of the help and time given.

Sincerely,

Erika Gedvilaite

When you say "When you go through the regular galaxy webpage" you can log in, you mean 'usegalaxy.org' and not your local instance?

The local instance you're starting here is separate (in terms of logins, etc.) from usegalaxy.org. On your local instance, 127.0.0.1:8080, can you register with that email address and then log in? You should see admin functionality at that point.

Have you restarted the Galaxy server after changing galaxy.ini?

(I also just noticed you said galaxy.ini.main -- unless you're using a custom startup script or something, you'll want to use just galaxy.ini)

Yes, I have fixed the name to galaxy.ini and restarted the galaxy through command line. Here are last lines when I am done initiating the run.sh code:

galaxy.queue_worker INFO 2016-06-16 14:59:24,820 Binding and starting galaxy control worker for main Starting server in PID 1419. serving on 0.0.0.0:8080 view at http://127.0.0.1:8080

Just clicked that you used quotes. They may be throwing off the parsing here, can you use:

admin_user = erika_gedvilaite@yahoo.com

Also, changed it. Still nothing.

And you've restarted the server since, and are definitely logged in as the 'erika_gedvilaite@yahoo.com' user?
