Recently I was trying to use Galaxy for my data analysis but ran into problems.....

Condition:

I used galaxy server at PSU.

I tried load local .bam file directly to galaxy, I also tried FTP, but both ways resulted into the same outcome.

The .bam files I was using are pure .bam files with no index.

Problems:

1.After I load them, the file was recognized as .txt file, and it is "empty" (But it did take long time to upload to FTP ~1GB), in the annotation window, it shows "The uploaded binary file contains inappropriate content"

2. I tried to convert the file to .bam format, it returns "An error occurred setting the metadata for this dataset. You may be able to set it manually or retry auto-detection."

Anyone know how to solve this problem?

Y.L.
