Thanks Jen. I tried a few more things before posting to galaxy-dev, and it turns out that I had the default virtual host still running, while I tried to have a galaxy virtualhost running alongside it. I think it should be possible to do that still, but it simplified and corrected it when I removed the default virtual host from apache/sites-enabled
I have a second question now. Where would I put the .htaccess file for it to be read correctly? I tried this line in my new virtualhost file, but no password prompt appears
AccessFileName /home/galaxy/bin/galaxy-dist/static/.htaccess
More info: All directories are chmod 775 for user galaxy starting with /home/galaxy/
$ cat static/.htaccess AuthType Basic AuthName "Yay Bioinformatics" AuthUserFile /home/galaxy/bin/galaxy-dist/htpasswd require valid-user $ cat htpasswd EDLB:xxxxxxxxxxxxx $ ll static/.htaccess -rw-r--r-- 1 galaxy galaxy 117 Apr 8 17:16 static/.htaccess ll htpasswd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19 Apr 8 17:32 htpasswd

Hello Lee,
Please see the section " External user authentication" on this wiki: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Apache%20Proxy
If you still need help, posting this question over on the galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu mailing list (but not cross-posting) with more details about what you have tried (how this solution was not a fit, etc.) will give you question the best exposure to the development community. http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/MailingLists
Best,

Hi, I am relatively new to Galaxy. I would like to set it up as an apache password protected site. I have tried to do it, but I realize now that it has its own server built-in and that it is ineffective to set up .htaccess because it isn't reading .htaccess (or so I think).
More information: Apache works (test page loads, and I can change it), and Galaxy works (I even made a new tool that is working). I have Ubuntu 12.
My basic, basic need is to set up a server-level password like what .htaccess would provide. Could anyone help? Thank you.
