We are trying to load Illumina data to our local Galaxy instance. The files are between 700 MB and 2.2 GB. Files below 2 GB load in less than 5 minutes. Files larger than 2 GB don't upload at all. We installed Galaxy locally because we thought loading files will be faster than the server version. Any suggestions to solve this problem is highly appreciated.
While (from others experience) Galaxy _should_ be able to upload files that large, we've had some problems with our local installation too. Investigation didn't reveal any cause, so we put it down to the quality of our network. You might what to look at the webserver or proxy that you have in front of Galaxy - from memory, both Apache and nginx can be configured to impose file size limits, so that _may_ be the problem. In any event, you might want to configure your server to handle uploads and downloads directly as per <https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Config/ProductionServe r>. Finally you can pass an url to the upload dialog to get Galaxy to pull the file from an ftp server - for example - and that may prove more robust. ---- Paul Agapow (paul-michael.agapow@hpa.org.uk) Bioinformatics, Centre for Infections, Health Protection Agency ----------------------------------------- ************************************************************************** The information contained in the EMail and any attachments is confidential and intended solely and for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).
