I have the exact same problem, on 2 different instances of Galaxy, on two different servers. I can replicate this problem on a cloned instance with no modification, and one using multiple galaxay server, nginx proxy and postgresql, both instances being on different machines (one on fedora 13, the other one on fedora 17). From what I have seen, it seems to be browser related. I can sometimes (rarely) upload data with firefox, chrome or safary, but for me it has worked ALL the time using internet explorer 8/9. The thing is that when you start the upload, the browser shows you that it is uploaded, but the upload.py script is never launched, and hence, the upload seems to be running forever. Seems we are not the only ones with this problem, but no real solution until now.
- upload your data using data libraries under the admin menu (this works on any browser).

> I installed galaxy locally in a linux server. However, I cannot upload the files (no matter how small, I have tried few kb size fasta files). When I try to upload, the link to the file shows up in the History and gets a new number (purple box). When I click on the link I get 'Dataset is uploading' forever.
