Hi, Stefanie. I think you might want a URL pointing to an "archived history" if you want to move your history to a different Galaxy? I imported your test history into my account on main, then I used the 'export to file' option (it might not be optimally named since it really creates an importable archive) - main returned: "Exporting History 'imported: Neue History zum Test'. Use this link to download the archive or import it to another Galaxy server: http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/history/export_archive?id=735329393657ab63 I just successfully imported from that URL to a private Galaxy and it all looks right.

Sorry to hear it's not working for you - that link definitely did work to an Australian Galaxy server behind a relatively tight and fussy firewall. Suggestions: check that it's not a local firewall problem - eg try wget http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/history/export_archive?id=735329393657ab63 or on the same link you're trying to import - it's just an archive. If that works, then maybe check for an old version of the code your Galaxy is running? eg what does: hg head show from the root of the installation that's failing to import? Is there anything interesting in paster.log after you start an import job that never finishes?
