Do I need to worry about cross-site cookies for my Galaxy server talking to the Main (or Test) Tool Shed?
Yes, this must be the problem - third-party cookies are used to store information between the Galaxy and Tool Shed applications.
Confirmed, I relaxed the 3rd party cookie setting to "from visited", now I get a new error message which is much easier to understand (and which I will look at tomorrow): <quote> The tool_config_file setting in universe_wsgi.ini must include at least one shed tool configuration file name with a <toolbox> tag that includes a tool_path attribute value which is a directory relative to the Galaxy installation directory in order to automatically install tools from a Galaxy tool shed (e.g., the file name shed_tool_conf.xml whose <toolbox> tag is <toolbox tool_path="../shed_tools">). See the Installation of Galaxy tool shed repository tools into a local Galaxy instance section of the Galaxy tool shed wiki for all of the details. </quote> Getting back to the cookie problem, perhaps the error message could use the phrase "third-party cookies" rather than just plain "cookies"?
