Hi guys,

 

we are currently establishing our own local Galaxy instance. However, after we tried to install the “mothur toolsuite” we could not enter the admin pages anymore. Every time we try we we obtain the following 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."

 

 

Here is what the paster.log says:
