Thanks Jen. I tried a few more things before posting to galaxy-dev, and it turns out that I had the default virtual host still running, while I tried to have a galaxy virtualhost running alongside it. I think it should be possible to do that still, but it simplified and corrected it when I removed the default virtual host from apache/sites-enabled
I have a second question now. Where would I put the .htaccess file for it to be read correctly? I tried this line in my new virtualhost file, but no password prompt appears AccessFileName /home/galaxy/bin/galaxy-dist/static/.htaccess More info: All directories are chmod 775 for user galaxy starting with /home/galaxy/ $ cat static/.htaccess AuthType Basic AuthName "Yay Bioinformatics" AuthUserFile /home/galaxy/bin/galaxy-dist/htpasswd require valid-user $ cat htpasswd EDLB:xxxxxxxxxxxxx $ ll static/.htaccess -rw-r--r-- 1 galaxy galaxy 117 Apr 8 17:16 static/.htaccess ll htpasswd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19 Apr 8 17:32 htpasswd On Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 4:28 PM, Jennifer Jackson <j...@bx.psu.edu> wrote: > Hello Lee, > > Please see the section " External user authentication" on this wiki: > http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Apache%20Proxy > > If you still need help, posting this question over on the > galaxy-...@bx.psu.edu mailing list (but not cross-posting) with more > details about what you have tried (how this solution was not a fit, etc.) > will give you question the best exposure to the development community. > http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/MailingLists > > Best, > > Jen > Galaxy team > > > On 4/15/13 1:06 PM, Lee Katz wrote: > > Hi, I am relatively new to Galaxy.
