Hi, I tried to update our local galaxy installation. I'm quite unexperienced with Mercurial so I read up something on the web how to update. What I did is: hg pull hg update After that I tried to restart but got an error message that I need to run "sh manage_db.sh upgrade" which I did. So now it is running again. But when I connect I see in the main screen: "Galaxy build: $Rev" which is an old version. Does that mean something in my update failed? (I did not get any messages that hinted at some problems beside the database version.) Or was just some template not updated? regards, Andreas

Hello Andreas, The value of $Rev on the main Galaxy page in the distribution is not generally updated, so disregard it. To see the version of Galaxy you are running, type "hg heads" in your Galaxy root directory, anf you should see something like the following. The value of changeset is the rev you are running. changeset: 2686:d301a67eda40 tag: tip user: Greg Von Kuster <greg@bx.psu.edu> date: Mon Sep 14 11:05:36 2009 -0400 summary: Move the data library admin methods to a separate library_admin controller.

Hi,
The value of $Rev on the main Galaxy page in the distribution is not generally updated, so disregard it.
Ok, where could I set it? I'd also like to discard the "We are hiring" message since we are not hiring :-)
To see the version of Galaxy you are running, type "hg heads" in your Galaxy root directory, anf you should see something like the following.
Ok, the update worked. Thanks, Andreas

Edit the ~/static/welcome.html file - this is not often updated in the distribution, but every once in a while the file is updated, so keep a local copy of your changes just in case. Greg Von Kuster Galaxy Development Team Andreas Kuntzagk wrote:
