A peculiar quirk - I'm configuring a new Galaxy system for production use and can't get it to recognise my account as an admin, i.e. the admin menu doesn't appear after I've added my email address to the admin_user line in the universe file. Of course, I've restarted the instance multiple times, checked spelling and so forth. It's just not happening.

Complication: we're using one Galaxy instance as the webserver with another as a job runner. I don't know if this might cause issues.

Thanks to Hans-Rudolf & Peter for possible solutions. The answer actually turned out to be my fault - as said, we're running Galaxy as a one db / two installation with a webserver/job runner ... and I was putting the admin_user in the wrong universe file. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. ------ Paul Agapow (paul-michael.agapow@hpa.org.uk) Bioinformatics, Health Protection Agency (UK) ************************************************************************** The information contained in the EMail and any attachments is confidential and intended solely and for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).
