I installed a local Galay instance but found uploads to be incredible slow. I have seen this can be remedied through Admin controls. However my modifications to "universe_wsgi.ini" still do not enable me to log in as Admin – showing the following error message: "No such user …"

I edited universe_wsgi.ini as follows:

admin_users = my email address

I closed Galaxy and re-launched with the modified file, however still no login ability.

I am running this on a desktop, no network.

Any help would be appreciated.
