Problems uploading files to a data library

Question

[jvdelarosa]

Hi everyone,

I recently have installed a local instance of galaxy in my computer, everything worked fine until I changed the path for library_import_dir in the universe_wsgi.ini file, to upload files to data libraries. I followed the Galaxy documentation to setup this feature:

This is the path in the universe_wsgi.ini file

library_import_dir = /media/New/Vladimir/My_RNA-seq/

The steps I followed are:

Admin > Data Library > Create new data library > Add datasets > Upload directory of files

• file format was set to auto-detect
• server Directory was /media/New/Vladimir/My_RNA-seq/
• and we chose the option to link to files instead of copying them

When I try to upload files, galaxy displays the following error:

Error Traceback:

I have been looking for a solution to fix this problem on the web without success.

I hope someone will see this post and have the solution.

Thank you very much
