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!

Thanks,

Hi Folks,

I still could not create new user account with the same error message. Has anyone happened to see this before?

Cheers,

Rui

Hey Folks,

I just installed a new 18.05 instance with a new postgresql db created. However, the UI doesn't allow me to create any user. After I provided all input information, it says

galaxy.web.framework.webapp WARNING 2018-10-09 17:28:35,735 [p:32925,w:1,m:0] [uWSGIWorker1Core2] Wrong session token found, denying request

in the server log. 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
