Julien, You have a couple of options. Maybe the file you are interested in is the upload tool, which can control if uploads get rejected or not. This is in tools/data_source/upload.py & .xml However, the file you are looking for is ./templates/webapps/galaxy/library/common/common.mako <-- this provides the drop down menu that you want to modify <div class="form-row"> <label>Upload option:</label> <div class="form-row-input"> ${upload_option_select_list.get_html()} </div> <div class="toolParamHelp" style="clear: both;"> Choose upload option (file, directory, filesystem paths, current history). </div> <div style="clear: both"></div> </div> It seems to call upload_option_select_list.get_html() to get the list, which is defined in lib/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/controllers/library_common.py Hope that helps get you started.

Galaxy instance are proposed on virtual machine, so each team of our institute have is own galaxy instance. To be sure that people upload data on the storage machine and then create a link by filesystem path in galaxy (and not upload directly data on galaxy, so on computing machine), I want that upload option "Upload files from filesystem paths" appears directly when we use Manage data libraries<https://integraseq.mti.univ-paris-diderot.fr/galaxy60/library_admin/browse_libraries> in the Admin menu. I tried to change "home/galaxy/lib/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/controllers/library_common.py" and "/home/galaxy/lib/galaxy/model/__init__.py" to do that but it is not evident "Upload files" option appears always in first. I just arrived to put "Link to files without copying into Galaxy in first in the Copy data into Galaxy? option by changing "/home/galaxy/templates/library/common/common.mako" file.

Can you describe your infrastructure setup so that I can provide you with a good response.

From what I understand, you have SERVER A with a galaxy install and SERVER B is your compute machine? Galaxy is submitting jobs to SERVER B for analysis/processing?

Or do you only have 1 server with Galaxy on it and it is also doing the processing? Do you have a storage array to house the data?

If you're logging in using "psql -h wigserv5.cshl.edu <snip>", then you only want the tcp/ip connection info. Drop the ?host=tmp off the third option you listed and I think you'll be up and running, so: postgresql://glxeric:XXXXX@wigserv5.cshl.edu:5432/glxeric<mailto:postgresql://glxeric:XXXXX@wigserv5.cshl.edu:5432/glxeric> -Dannon On Sat, May 24, 2014 at 1:49 AM, Paniagua, Eric <epaniagu@cshl.edu><mailto:epaniagu@cshl.edu> wrote: Dear Galaxy Developers, I've been banging my head against this one for a few days now. I have two Galaxy instances. One resides on a server called "genomics", which also hosts the corresponding PostgreSQL installation. The second also resides on "genomics", but its database is hosted on "wigserv5". Based on the tests I just ran and code I just read, sqlalchemy (not Galaxy) is ignoring the hostname/port part of the database_connection string. For reference, the connection strings I've tried are: postgresql://glxeric:XXXXX@/glxeric?host=/tmp postgresql://glxeric:XXXXX@wigserv5.cshl.edu/glxeric?host=/tmp<mailto:postgresql://glxeric:XXXXX@wigserv5.cshl.edu/glxeric?host=/tmp> postgresql://glxeric:XXXXX@wigserv5.cshl.edu:5432/glxeric?host=/tmp<mailto:postgresql://glxeric:XXXXX@wigserv5.cshl.edu:5432/glxeric?host=/tmp> postgresql://glxeric:XXXXX@adgdgdfdflkhjfdhfkl/glxeric?host=/tmp All of these appear to result in Galaxy connecting to the PostgreSQL installation on genomics, as determined by Galaxy schema version discrepancies and other constraints. With each connection string, Galaxy starts up normally. I force database activity by browsing saved histories. It works every time. By all appearances, the second Galaxy instance is using the PostgreSQL database hosted on "genomics", not on "wigserv5". All databases and roles exist, and the databases are populated. When I comment out the "database_connection" line in universe_wsgi.ini, I get errors arising from the later configuration of PostgreSQL-specific Galaxy options, as expected. I can connect to the database server on "wigserv5" using "psql -h wigserv5.cshl.edu -d glxeric -U glxeric" from the server "genomics". Have you ever observed this behavior from Galaxy or sqlalchemy?
