Hello :)

I'm trying to configure galaxy admin menu, locally, so I can install new tools. I've look every single topic but couldn't find answer to my problem. I'm using Arch Linux.

  1. I've installed galaxy with instructions from: getgalaxy.org
  2. I've copied galaxy.ini.sample to galaxy.ini in galaxy/config directory
  3. I've added lines:
  • tool_dependency_dir = ~/Documents/galaxy/dependency_dir and

  • admin_users = my@email.com

I've register using same email, I've logged in using same email. However, I can't find admin panel anywhere.

Please, can anyone help me to configure this?

Answer:

You do not add into "galaxy.ini" new line "admin_users = ...", you just need to uncomment line that already exists "admin_users = None" and change None to your email. For some reason, this was the problem.

Ahh, yeah, sorry. I shouldn't have assumed familiarity with the galaxy.ini file -- you even said in the original post that you added the lines instead of editing them, I just didn't read it correctly :/

In any event, I'm glad you managed to figure it out -- I was completely out of things to suggest!

Have you restarted your galaxy server?

What exactly do you mean by "restarted"? I've stopped server with CTRL+C, and then run it again. However, nothing changes.

"restarting": stopping the server followed by starting the server, in order to read the changed settings fom 'galaxy.ini'.

other points to look at:

  • reload the galaxy page in the web browser. do you still have no extra tab (labelled: "Admin") in the top Galaxy menu bar

  • double check the spelling of the e-mail address: is it really the same as you get, when you cklick on "User" in the top Galaxy menu bar

  • do you have two galaxy servers running?

  • are you editing the right 'galaxy.ini' file? Change the #brand line in the 'galaxy.ini' file, restart the server, and check wheter you get the extra text in the masthead.

Can you explain little bit better what to do about:

  • Change the #brand line in the 'galaxy.ini' file, restart the server, and check wheter you get the extra text in the masthead?

Append "/{brand}" to the "Galaxy" text in the masthead. (this is commented line, I don't know why editor uses bigger font)

brand = None

I've uncommented this line, however still nothing changes. Should it say "brand = None" or "brand = something_else" ?

As for other things you've mentioned, I've done them all, however Admin menu won't appear.

go for "brand = something_else" and see whether it will display "something_else" after restart of the server and reload of the web page

ADD REPLYlink written 2.4 years ago by Hotz, Hans-Rudolf1.8k

Yes it does display it, it says "Galaxy / something_else" in top left corner...

Long shot, but the email isn't in quotes, is it? Could you share the exact line?

ADD REPLYlink written 2.4 years ago by Dannon Baker3.7k

No it is not in quotes, exact line is:

admin_users = makragic@outlook.com

I've used of course same mail to login into Galaxy.

I'm a bit stumped. Can you change the line to:

admin_users = makragic@outlook.com,foo@foo.com

And register, as a test, the user foo@foo.com to check if it shows up?

ADD REPLYlink written 2.4 years ago by Dannon Baker3.7k

Nothing happens :/. I tried different browser, same thing. Is there any other way to accomplish this?

So neither user works as an admin?

If you are logged in as one of these users and navigate directly to http://<your_galaxy_instance>/admin , do you get a rejection or do you see the admin panel?

What version of Galaxy are you running?

Lastly, it's a long shot, but you can verify your admin configuration with something like this, which will print the parsed list of admins at launch time (just search your log for ADMIN_USERS):

When I try http:/.../admin I get following message: "You must be logged in as an administrator to access this feature, but no administrators are set in the Galaxy configuration."

As for version, I don't know, I downloaded galaxy few days ago from git using: git clone https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/ and also cd galaxy git checkout -b master origin/master

As for last one: "Lastly, it's a long shot, but you can verify your admin configuration with something like this, which will print the parsed list of admins at launch time (just search your log for ADMIN_USERS)", what tools do I need for this?
