Hi all - I had this problem once before with a previous installation, and thought it was fixed, but I'm seeing it again and not sure its related. I have Galaxy running with a Proxy server on apache to get /galaxy instead of using port 8080. I've disabled load balancing and running everything in one process. I've set up the admin user using: admin_users = myemail@mydomain.edu then restarted Galaxy. I was already logged in, refreshed the page, and didn't see the Admin page, so I logged out. I tried to log back in but get redirected to the main galaxy page and I'm still not logged in. I checked the galaxy logs and see the following: serving on 0.0.0.0:8080 view at http://127.0.0.1:8080 galaxy.web.framework DEBUG 2012-01-03 16:18:29,994 Error: this request returned None from get_history(): http://bic/galaxy/ 10.24.51.101 - - [03/Jan/2012:16:18:29 -0400] "GET /galaxy/ HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_2) AppleWebKit/534.52.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.2 Safari/534.52.7" 10.24.51.101 - - [03/Jan/2012:16:18:30 -0400] "GET /galaxy/root/tool_menu HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://bic/galaxy/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_2) AppleWebKit/534.52.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.2 Safari/534.52.7" 10.24.51.101 - - [03/Jan/2012:16:18:30 -0400] "GET /galaxy/history HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://bic/galaxy/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_2) AppleWebKit/534.52.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.2 Safari/534.52.7" galaxy.web.framework DEBUG 2012-01-03 16:18:30,594 Error: this request returned None from get_history(): http://bic/galaxy/root/user_get_usage 10.24.51.101 - - [03/Jan/2012:16:18:30 -0400] "POST /galaxy/root/user_get_usage HTTP/1.1" 500 - "http://bic/galaxy/history" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_2) AppleWebKit/534.52.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.2 Safari/534.52.7" Error - <type 'exceptions.AssertionError'>: Could not determine anonymous user's history.

It doesn't seem to be related, because it happens even if I bring up a new Galaxy page. I can't log in as a user as well. There is no error in the galaxy log file so I'm not sure how to track this one down.
