Login problems with Galaxy on Chrome, Firefox is running fine, where should I look? - galaxy-dev

13 May 2015


      Hi Folks,
I'm working on setting up a Galaxy production server, following the
instructions on
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/ProductionServer.
I'm using postgresql and an Apache proxy server.  It's not going well, and
I could use some guidance.
When I access the galaxy server on Google Chrome, I can't log in.  I can go
to the login prompt and enter my credentials, but after I do that, I
continue to see the login prompt as if I hadn't logged in.
Then when I try to do a simple file upload, I see this message in pink in
the history panel:
"An error occurred while getting updates from the server.  Please contact a
Galaxy admninistrator if the problem persists"
and when I click on the little bug icon, here's what I see in the Galaxy
pane:

  }
}
Meanwhile, paster.log shows the following error messages:

Meanwhile, if I'm working on Firefox, I can log in and upload files with no
trouble.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
