Hi Rui, Does the default database sqlite work for you? I guess there is certain mis-configuration in your postgresql settings or certain element in the config/galaxy.yml file is broken. Try to enter your postgresql database in terminal using the same login info and create a table to make sure you have proper privileges. Alternatively, using GalaxyKickStart (https://github.com/ARTbio/GalaxyKickStart) to deploy a server isn't that difficult and a postgresql database comes with it by default. Good luck!

Btw, I enabled 'allow to create user' and admin user list is empty. I looked into it, and it's a function in lib/galaxy/web/framework/webapp.py: def check_csrf_token(self): session_csrf_token = self.request.params.get("session_csrf_token", None) problem = False if not session_csrf_token: log.warning("No session_csrf_token set, denying request.") problem = True elif session_csrf_token != self.session_csrf_token: log.warning("Wrong session token found, denying request.") problem = True if problem: return self.show_warn_message("Failed to authorize action.") Could someone give me a hand? :-) Cheers, Rui
