Disclosing of Galaxy version/build/changeset entirely depends on the owner of the instance.

The official Main usegalaxy.org and Test instances contain changeset in the footer of the landing page (which usually is part of welcome.html in the galaxy /static folder).

Your best choice, if you cannot find it on the page, is to write an email to the admin.

EDIT: we have added an API to show the instance's version, try https://usegalaxy.org/api/version

As a user:

On http://usegalaxy.org go to the home page and scroll all the way down. The galaxy-central changeset the server is running at is noted.

For other Galaxies, how and if to share this information is up to the administrator of the instance. I am not sure if there is an API method or not, but let's see if we get more comments/answers.

Best, Jen, Galaxy team

The following answer is for developers with an own Galaxy instance.

Galaxy does not have any explicit version number. The only way you can identify a Galaxy version is by it's unique commit tag. You can get this, plus the date of the commit and a short description with:

hg tip

in your Galaxy root directory.

Cheers,

Bjoern

I am trying to get the version number. When I try

-bash-4.1$ cd galaxy -bash-4.1$ hg tip abort: There is no Mercurial repository here (.hg not found)!

Apparently we installed without using Mercurial but git.
any ideas how to get a version number. Thanks Guy

This was back in old mercurial days. Today you need to do git log and have a look at the latest revision.

I did the 'git log' comand and got pages of messages and no recognisable version number. I guess this was because I was not running the latest version.
so I did 'git pull' and waited then I stopped and restarted the instance.

You have local changes in config/tool_conf.xml.main ... never change on of these files. Only the tool_conf.xml. Do you remember what you changed? If not git diff will tell you. If you don't care about the changes remove this file and do a git pull again.

ADD REPLY • link written 2.7 years ago by Bjoern Gruening ♦ 5.1k

I did change that file accidentally when manually installing a tool not present in the tools shed. I did actually mean to change config/tool_conf.xml.sample.
I deleted both after making a copy then ran

git pull

stopped and restarted my instance
-bash-4.1$ git pull Already up-to-date.

Which is great

but when I try to access galaxy through the browser I get this error

'Internal Server Error Galaxy was unable to successfully complete your request An error occurred. This may be an intermittent problem due to load or other unpredictable factors, reloading the page may address the problem. The error has been logged to our team.'

Where is the error logged? Thanks Guy

I have submitted this as a new post 'Internal Server Error Galaxy was unable to successfully complete your request' where is the log?

You did you start Galaxy. With ./run.sh you should get all log into your terminal.

I am still a bit confused about how to get the version number from the git log command on

git log

gives a long list of messages

but as I understand it

git log origin/master

gives the version number

-*bash-4.1$ git log origin/master

git log will never consistently give you the human readable version of Galaxy; check if you have the following file: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/lib/galaxy/version.py

If you do you know your version, if you don't you are pre- and will only know the revision (have to check against github/repo)
