Dear Galaxy community,
I have a problem with uploading data on Galaxy, using the get data/upload file tool, and I can't figure out where the trouble comes from.
Basically, when I try to upload files (size ranging from less than 1 Mo up to 600 Mo), sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (keep uploading forever), and I don't get any error message when it doesn't work. I can't find a pattern on when it works or not, it seems pretty random. It don't think it is related to the files I use, because I tried with different files, of different types and format, and the exact same file can sometimes be uploaded, sometimes not. One thing I have noticed is that when the upload is successful, a file is created in /tmp/, and when the upload runs forever, no new file appears in /tmp/.
I have tried a couple of basic things to solve the problem: emptying the /tmp/, restarting galaxy, deleting permanently my history, etc. Sometimes I can upload 4-5 files in a row, then it stops working, and some other time I can't even upload one. When one upload keep running forever, even if I cancel it, no further uploads will work. I have to stop the uploads and restart galaxy, but it doesn't work 100% of the time (sometimes I have to try 2-3 times before I can upload again).
I am facing this problem on two different instances of galaxy. A development one that I simply installed on my /home/ using mercurial and didn't modified at all, and a production one that I just set up following the Galaxy Team recommendations (using PostgreSQL and nginx with the upload module, and working on a dedicated Galaxy user account). I am a beginner in informatics, and since I get no error message, I don't know where to look for a way to solve this annoying problem.
Uploading files using data libraries under the admin menu seems to be working perfectly all the time.
Thank you very much for your help and advice.
Sincerely

additional info: - I am using the latest version of galaxy, and my OS is Fedora 16 - I tried working with and without virtualenv (made no difference). - I don't know if this is related or not, but it seems quite strange to me. Whenever I try to access "manage jobs" in the admin section (on both instances), I get the following error message: "This Galaxy instance is not the job manager. If using multiple servers, please directly access the job manager instance to manage jobs." How is that possible since I am not using multiple servers (especially for the development instance, which I haven't modified at all)? - debug = False is causing me a server error in the history frame (so I use True instead).
Hello again,
I've read on the mailing list that some galaxy users are facing the same problem as I do, and that it seems to be related to the internet browser. Indeed, I noticed that I have no problem uploading data while using IE 8 or 9, but that it almost never works with Firefox, Chrome or Safari. I also noticed that when it doesn't work, the script upload.py is not launched at all. Could it be a javascript bug?
Thanks again for possible help
David

Hi David,
We found while creating our VMs for the GCC Training Day that browsers within the VM (Ubuntu 12.04) were not able to consistently upload using the AJAX/Hidden iframe method that Galaxy uses by default. I'm investigating the problem. Are you able to upload using Firefox/Chrome/Safari on other OS's, or is the problem specific to Fedora?

Hi Nate
My galaxy server is installed on Fedora, but the problem with the upload also happens when I access my Galaxy instance from other computers running on windows or OS X. On these computers, uploads with firefox/chrome/safary works randomly (and rarely), same as when I try from my Fedora machine. Only I.E on windows computers allows successful uploads 100% of the time. As a temporary solution, I have disabled ajax upload in tools/data_source/upload.xml, which allows me to upload data from any web browser (thanks to Daniel Blankenberg for this!).
I am at your service if you need me to try more things.
Sincerely
David
