Hello all, One of the users on our local galaxy has reported this error, trying IE9, Firefox and Chrome on Windows: "An error occurred while getting updates from the server. Please contact a Galaxy administrator if the problem persists." Meanwhile the server works fine for me. Are there any known causes of this error (other than heavy load which does not seem to be the case here)? Thanks, Peter On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 5:49 PM, Politz, Samuel M. <spolitz@wpi.edu> wrote:

This is a followup to my previous post on this topic. The exact message (in red) that I see after a long delay in running a tool is “An error occurred while getting updates from the server. Please contact a Galaxy administrator if the problem persists.” I have seen this message twice while waiting for two unrelated tools to run. There is no green’bug’ icon so I could not report this to an administrator. Another main server user reported this error message to the user mailing list as well. The response to their post was to wait a few minutes. Well, in this case I have been waiting overnight.

Best regards,

Sam Politz
