Hi everybody,
I have a problem with some proxy settings for our galaxy instance. Our admins want to have the server protected better and put it behind a firewall/proxy. That all seems to work after switching on the firewall, but not the external data sources (like biomart or UCSC browser).
I did not find an configuration option for galaxy, so I just use the environment variable http_proxy.
If I try biomart without setting http_proxy, then I get this error message:
The remote data source application may be off line, please try again later. Error: [Errno socket error] (111, 'Connection refused')
if I set http_proxy to dmzproxy.tuebingen.mpg.de:8080, then I get this error:
The remote data source application may be off line, please try again later. Error: [Errno url error] invalid proxy for http: 'dmzproxy.tuebingen.mpg.de:8080'
These errors appear after finishing with biomart and it tries to send the data back to the galaxy instance.
What is the right way to get these tools to work behind a firewall/ proxy?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance,
Gunnar
