You'll need to add the setting further down in the config file, such as under the 'UI Localization' section.

Best,

Thanks Jeremy,
                          But this doesn’t seem to work.
 
If I add the welcome_url to the universe_wsgi.ini (is this the universe config file you mentioned?) as shown below, I continue to get the welcome.html page
 
# ---- Galaxy ---------------------------------------------------------------

# Configuration of the Galaxy application.

[app:main]
filter-with = proxy-prefix
cookie_path = /csiro

welcome_url = /tool_runner?tool_id=upload1
....


If I move the welcome_url higher up in the universe_wsgi.ini file I get an error the last part is shown below:
 
File "/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/eggs/PasteDeploy-1.3.3-py2.7.egg/paste/deploy/loadwsgi.py", line 190, in invoke
    return filter(filtered)
  File "/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/eggs/PasteDeploy-1.3.3-py2.7.egg/paste/deploy/loadwsgi.py", line 130, in filter_wrapper
    **context.local_conf)
  File "/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/eggs/PasteDeploy-1.3.3-py2.7.egg/paste/deploy/util/fixtypeerror.py", line 57, in fix_call
    val = callable(*args, **kw)
TypeError: make_prefix_middleware() got an unexpected keyword argument 'welcome_url'
 
I can’t find anywhere in the code that has the test string “welcome_html” Any ideas?
 
Thanks
Neil

There's an undocumented setting in the universe config, welcome_url, that can be used; if you point this as follows it will bring up the upload tool.
 
welcome_url = /tool_runner?tool_id=upload1

Neil,
good news: the initial center panel renders static/welcome.html so easy to change.
bad news: AFAIK no way to show a (dynamic) default tool form instead - others may know more..

Hi,
    When Galaxy is started the centre column displays the “Hello world! It’s running ...” WWFSMD? Html Page. How can this be changed so that a tool i.e. get data  tool is shown up on start-up with all its text boxes etc rather than the default html file? Is this possible?
 
Thanks
Neil
