Hi, I have three instances of galaxy running on the same Linux box. My "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default" is: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/galaxy-csiro$ /galaxy-csiro/ [R] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-csiro/static/style/(.*) /home/galaxy/galaxy-csiro/static/june_2007_style/blue/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-csiro/static/scripts/(.*) /home/galaxy/galaxy-csiro/static/scripts/packed/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-csiro/static/(.*) /home/galaxy/galaxy-csiro/static/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-csiro/favicon.ico /home/galaxy/galaxy-csiro/static/favicon.ico [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-csiro/robots.txt /home/galaxy/galaxy-csiro/static/robots.txt [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-csiro(.*) http://localhost:9080$1 [P] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-cte$ /galaxy-cte/ [R] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-cte/static/style/(.*) /home/galaxy/galaxy-cte/static/june_2007_style/blue/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-cte/static/scripts/(.*) /home/galaxy/galaxy-cte/static/scripts/packed/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-cte/static/(.*) /home/galaxy/galaxy-cte/static/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-cte/favicon.ico /home/galaxy/galaxy-cte/static/favicon.ico [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-cte/robots.txt /home/galaxy/galaxy-cte/static/robots.txt [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-cte(.*) http://localhost:9000$1 [P] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-Newcastle$ /galaxy-Newcastle/ [R] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-Newcastle/static/style/(.*) /home/galaxy/galaxy-Newcastle/static/june_2007_style/blue/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-Newcastle/static/scripts/(.*) /home/galaxy/galaxy-Newcastle/static/scripts/packed/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-Newcastle/static/(.*) /home/galaxy/galaxy-Newcastle/static/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-Newcastle/favicon.ico /home/galaxy/galaxy-Newcastle/static/favicon.ico [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-Newcastle/robots.txt /home/galaxy/galaxy-Newcastle/static/robots.txt [L] RewriteRule ^/galaxy-Newcastle(.*) http://localhost:9010$1 [P] I can view all the instances However, when I try and "Get Data" and upload a file the history side panel remains empty. I can see that the files have been uploaded to (for example) % ls -lrt galaxy-Newcastle/database/files/000/ total 22868 -rw-rw-r-- 1 galaxy galaxy 23017819 Feb 21 13:01 dataset_1.dat -rw-rw-r-- 1 galaxy galaxy 187339 Feb 21 13:02 dataset_2.dat -rw-rw-r-- 1 galaxy galaxy 206568 Feb 21 13:03 dataset_3.dat Any ideas much appreciated...
