Not really sure what is happening here, does your galaxy.ini file have the following sections:

[filter:proxy-prefix] use = egg:PasteDeploy#prefix prefix = /galaxy

[app:main]

filter-with = proxy-prefix cookie_path = /galaxy

If yes, it might be best to share nginx configuration and your galaxy logs when this occurs so we can see what routes Galaxy thinks are being accessed.

Dear all,

I have a problem with configuring my galaxy instance with a proxy server when I try to serve at a subdirectory.

I followed the description at https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/nginxProxy

The basic configuration works just fine.

When I use the procedure described in the section

“serving galaxy at a subdirectory”, the proxying principally also works.

However, when registered users try to log in to galaxy, galaxy will simply directs them to the starting page (which I think is

what normally happens after logging in) without displaying an error message. Nonetheless, users do not have access to the functionalities which only logged in users

can use. E.g. each time they try to use the “workflows”-button they are told to log in.

Could you please provide any help on this issue?

Cheers,

Christoph

Hello John and Dannon,

thanks a lot for your help.

I had also suspected the cookie_path but I had actually already set it just the way you proposed. That's also what the description on the web says about the cookie path. I also use exactlly the same subdirectory as in the description.

Nonetheless, I get this strange login behaviour. I have attached now my nginx.conf, galaxy.ini and the galaxy log. The log includes one of these failed logins in the last lines. However, I cannot find any error or debug messages there.

Best, Christoph

When I've seen similar behavior in the past, it's always that cookie_path is incorrect.
