Hi Paul,

As per the title, I’m trying to setup a toolshed for our local use. After creating a repo, I try to upload the initial file only to get:

Which seems to happen repeatedly, i.e. it’s not a passing error.


I'll need to see your paster log to be able to help on this one.  You can view it using "tail -f community_webapp.log" (without the quotes) from your Galaxy install directory.  Can you respond back with the content?


 
While I’m here, a perhaps obvious question: where or how does the main Galaxy instance get the list of toolsheds to display? The main and test sheds are hardcoded in, I guess, but how does it pick up the local – simply by virtue of the fact that it is local?


The list of tool sheds available to any local Galaxy instance is defined in the tool_sheds_conf.xml file in the Galaxy install directory.  For your local shed, you'll simply need to an entry like this:

<tool_shed name="Bx tool shed" url="http://gvk.bx.psu.edu:9009/"/>
