I actually fixed the problem by not setting the cookie prefix in the ini file. Weird. Sincerely, Michael E.

Hey everyone,
I'm having a weird login problem (think it's cookie related) after setting up Galaxy on a virtual machine and trying to proxy_pass to it using nginx. It says I'm logged in, but when I get redirected to the front page I'm no longer logged in. When I visit subsequent pages I'm also not logged in.
On the server, here is the relevant part of my nginx configuration (I'm going to setup static serving after I get the login issue resolved):
upstream galaxy_app { server 192.168.1.11:8080; }
server { ... location /galaxy { proxy_pass http://galaxy_app; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; }
... }
The dots just mean that I have other things in there for the forwarding I do with other VMs.
On the VM, in my universe_wsgi.ini file, I have made sure to set the following (just showing the parts I think are relevant):
[server:main] port = 8080 host = 0.0.0.0
[filter:proxy-prefix] use = egg:PasteDeploy#prefix prefix = /galaxy
[app:main] filter-with = proxy-prefix cookie_path = /galaxy
I should note that I might end up changing this configuration to use a CNAME at some point (thus avoiding the prefix issue), but for now I'm totally lost as to why I'm not able to login using my current configuration.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
