Thanks Jennifer, I already uncomment and add my email address but still the admin link does not appear. I then registered my email in users and logged in with that email address and I still don't see the link.
when I type /admin at  the of the url it says that I have to be logged in as an administrator.
sorry I am a newbe on this admin stuff.

Hi,

You will want to assign yourself as an administrator in the
universe_wsgi.ini file.

# Administrative users - set this to a comma-separated list of valid Galaxy
# users (email addresses).  These users will have access to the Admin
section
# of the server, and will have access to create users, groups, roles,
# libraries, and more.  For more information, see:
# http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Interface
#admin_users = None
^^ uncomment and add your login email here

Other wikis that may be helpful, especially if user login is not yet set up:
http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Performance/Production%20Server
http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config

Hopefully this helps,

Jen
Galaxy team
