Hi,
A small bug: When clicking "re-run" to view a tool form, and the tool has embedded images, the URL of the images is not working.
When viewing a tool that has embedded images, the relative<img> URL is "./static/images/histogram2.png". The tool's URL comes from: "http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/tool_runner?tool_id=histogram_rpy" and so the absolute image URL becomes: "http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/./static/images/histogram2.png" which works OK.
But when viewing a tool by clicking "re-run", the tool's URL is: "http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/galaxy/tool_runner/rerun?id=56" ("rerun" being a method in the "tool_runner" controller), which in turns makes the image absolute URL: "http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/tool_runner/./static/images/XXXXX.png" - and it doesn't work.
Note that the solution of changing all the images URLs in the XML files to start at the root (e.g. "/static/images/XXXX.png") is not optimal, because it will bypass the "prefix" URL that some people use (e.g. with "http://rave.cshl.edu/galaxy" instead of "http://rave.cshl.edu/").
a workaround (when using apache) is to add the following rewrite_rule: RewriteRule ^/tool_runner/static/(.*) /localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/static/$1 [L]
Or if using a "/galaxy" prefix: RewriteRule ^/galaxy/tool_runner/static/(.*) /localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/static/$1 [L]
