Thanks Nate, I must say that I did not have the upload tool in the tool_conf.xml because I am using the shed_tool_conf.xml to have a customized tools panel, and this xml file is empty by default. I've installed the upload tool throught the Galaxy main tool shed, I rebooted the system, and checked that the tool is in the shed_tool_conf.xml. here is the code in the shed_tool_conf.xml <section id="getext" name="Get Data" version=""> <tool file="toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/alermine/upload_local_file/6b590f108b48/upload_local_file/upload_local_file/upload_local_file.xml" guid="toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/alermine/upload_local_file/upload_local_file/1.0.0"> <tool_shed>toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu</tool_shed> <repository_name>upload_local_file</repository_name> <repository_owner>alermine</repository_owner> <installed_changeset_revision>6b590f108b48</installed_changeset_revision> <id>toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/alermine/upload_local_file/upload_local_file/1.0.0</id> <version>1.0.0</version> </tool> </section> But when I try to upload the files to a data library, I got the same error. What can I do?
