Sorry to hear it's not working for you - that link definitely did work to an Australian Galaxy server behind a relatively tight and fussy firewall. Suggestions: check that it's not a local firewall problem - eg try wget http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/history/export_archive?id=735329393657ab63 or on the same link you're trying to import - it's just an archive. If that works, then maybe check for an old version of the code your Galaxy is running? eg what does: hg head show from the root of the installation that's failing to import? Is there anything interesting in paster.log after you start an import job that never finishes? On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 9:02 PM, Stefanie Ververs <stefanie.ververs@fh-stralsund.de> wrote:
Hi Ross,
that is exactly what I tried - "Export to file" and then enter the link into "Import from File". But the History never appears in the account on our Galaxy :( It works between different accounts on main, but not from main to our's..

Hi, Stefanie.
I think you might want a URL pointing to an "archived history" if you want to move your history to a different Galaxy?
I imported your test history into my account on main, then I used the 'export to file' option (it might not be optimally named since it really creates an importable archive) - main returned:
"Exporting History 'imported: Neue History zum Test'. Use this link to download the archive or import it to another Galaxy server: http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/history/export_archive?id=735329393657ab63
I just successfully imported from that URL to a private Galaxy and it all looks right.

So - I'm logged in and the link is accessible. (I tried with different accounts on the public server - that works; but not importing to our own instance.)
The history must be "Accessible via link": Options --> Share/Publish --> Make History Accessible via Link
Can you share the history with me?
Thanks, J.
I tried it, following your instructions. And different follow-ups: 1) Pasting the "sharing"-Link into the "Import a History from an Archive" field -> doesn't work 2) Opening the link being logged in to the account on OUR instance, that means, the target account, but NOT on the source account. -> doesn't work - he tries to import the history on the public server (I assume because the message was about "this will delete your current history")
When I imported histories from one account to another on the public server, I never used "Make History Accessible via Link". I just took the export-Link (the one you can download the history as an archive file.) I even tried uploading the file somewhere else.
This is my test-History: http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/u/stef85/h/neue-history-zum-test
