I just installed Galaxy on our server. It works when I typed in http://localhost:8080/ on the server itself. But when I want to access it from another PC, it fails. I try the host name and the IP of the server, but both of them failed. Currently we have other web applications running on port 80 of the server. They are working well. Could anybody please indicate where could be the probable problem?
in universe_wsgi.ini you find the "host" variable, which defines to which hosts galaxy should send an answer. Default is to answer only to localhost. If you want to change that, modify that variable, e.g. host = 0.0.0.0 like suggested in the comment of that variable, or use apache or another already running webserver as a proxy (see http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Apache%20Proxy ).
