Hello Alejandro, You are probably using a MySQL database as a backend rather than PostgreSQL. The data definition layer in Galaxy's code uses a column type that has different maximum lengths between mysql (max chars is 2^16) and postgres (more than that). As a result, when you install a repository that has more than 2^16 character of metadata, the metadata gets truncated and you get those errors. Login in to the database backend and run the following: select id, tool_shed, name from tool_shed_repository; Find the repository in the list and write down its ID. Then run the following: Delete from tool_shed_repository where id="<PUT ID NUMBER HERE>"; Then, we need to fix the table column type for your database. Note that my database table has been fixed with the new datatype "mediumblob". | metadata | mediumblob | YES | | NULL | | You should do a backup of the database before you proceed. Run the following command to modify the metadata column on table tool_shed_repository to the mediumblob data type to allow a large amount of metadata. ALTER TABLE tool_shed_repository MODIFY metadata MEDIUMBLOB NULL; I had opened a Trello card about this but haven't had time to push a fix.

HEY! This is important! If you reply to a thread in a digest, please 1. Change the subject of your response from "Galaxy-dev Digest Vol ..." to the original subject for the thread. 2. Strip out everything else in the digest that is not part of the thread you are responding to. Why? 1. This will keep the subject meaningful. People will have some idea from the subject line if they should read it or not. 2. Not doing this greatly increases the number of emails that match search queries, but that aren't actually informative. Today's Topics: 1.

After install I cant access to the admin panel. I think that is beacuse the json value is not complete (len(value):65535), and therefore the json decoder cant decode the value. In attachments I have included the debug data generated by galaxy and the file containing the "value" variable. Can anybody bring me some help? Is there some way to remove emboss without using the admin panel? Thanks in advance, best regards. *Cristian Alejandro Rojas Quintero*
