Sure, you can change those if you'd like for it to run on a different port, etc -- otherwise these settings will use default values (the same ones you've been using already). The only setting you'll have to change to get admin access is admin_users.

Ok, that should work fine. Are you now able to edit that galaxy.ini in text wrangler? If so, find the admin_users line and add your email address and any others to the line and uncomment it -- make sure it doesn't start with a # anymore.

So, it'll be:
admin_users = adavenp3@gru.edu, user2@gmail.com

I created galaxy.ini using (text wrangler)by copying the contents in galaxy .ini.sample and putting galaxy.ini in that same folder. (Galaxy/config) Should I delete that file? If so what are the exact steps and commands should I place in terminal for administrative access?

In your terminal, you'll need to navigate to the galaxy config directory (you'll see the .sample file there) first. Once there, look at a directory list and make sure that an existing galaxy.ini isn't already there.

Also, please keep the galaxy-dev list cc'd instead of replying directly so that others might be able to help you as well.

Where are you executing this? You'll need to be in the galaxy/config directory, where galaxy.ini.sample exists.

I'm looping the mailing list back in on this so other people might also be able to help.

I'm not sure what you mean. You can edit the file using any text editor, try 'nano', or emacs or vim if you're more comfortable with those.

Does the file exist or not? If not, simply "cp galaxy.ini.sample galaxy.ini" will do it.

Hi Aneisha,

When you say you cannot alter config/galaxy.ini, what do you mean? You should be able to create (if not there) and edit this file in your regular terminal on that machine.

Does a different user own the file, perhaps a 'galaxy' one? If so, you could change to that user and then edit.

Hi, I work at the It service desk at the GRU Health and Science campus Ed Commons GB building and I have a customer trying to get admin access for the local installation of galaxy. We tried to follow the online instructions "In order to control your new Galaxy through the UI (installing tools, managing users, creating groups etc.) you have to become an administrator. First register as a new user and then give the user admin privileges like this: You add the Galaxy login ( email ) to the Galaxy configuration file (config/galaxy.ini). If the file does not exist you can copy it from the provided sample (config/galaxy.ini.sample). Note that you have to restart Galaxy after modifying the configuration for changes to take effect.

# this should be a comma-separated list of valid Galaxy users
admin_users = user1@example.com<mailto:user1@example.com>,user2@example.com<mailto:user2@example.com>" but we cannot alter the config/galaxy.ini file. Can you please give us assistance? Do you run in console or Terminal (this is a Macbook Air Laptop)?
