This is not a Galaxy problem per se, but a problem during Galaxy setup so maybe others will have an insight. So we're installing our own Galaxy for production / general use. I've been following the config and advanced config guides and installed Galaxy in its own account and home directory. It runs off the built-in web-server fine - the problem comes when I try to put it through an Apache proxy. Galaxy has to run off a subdirectory (http://foobar/galaxy) and if I just rewrite everything through there (RewriteRule ^/galaxy(.*) http://localhost:7070$1 [P]), it works fine. The problem comes when I introduce the rewrite rules to have Apache serve the static content directly. None of the static content shows up and the error log shows "(13) permission denied" errors. Things I have tried: * Logged the rewrite calls to see they rewrite to the correct paths for the static content * Checked the proxy-filter and filter-with declarations * Checked the unix permissions on the static dir * Tested for non-existent or incorrect paths (which generate a different error) * Inserted directory declarations to "Allow from all" for the static dir * Checked for and tried .htaccess files * SELinux is disabled I feel I must have a blindspot about the solution - any ideas about where else to look? Technical details: cloned the latest Galaxy distribution, running on Fedora 9, Apache 2.2. ---- Paul Agapow (paul-michael.agapow@hpa.org.uk) Bioinformatics, Centre for Infections, Health Protection Agency ----------------------------------------- ************************************************************************** The information contained in the EMail and any attachments is confidential and intended solely and for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).
