Installation

General

After downloading the ZIP file, you need to extract it. After that you need to upload all files to your server. Then, start the install.php on your webserver by typing

http://address.of.your.webspace/path/to/galaxytool/install.php (this address is just a template!)

in your browser and have a look at the screen.

Now follow the instructions on the screen. They will give you detailed information about what to enter or they'll tell you, if something did not work as expected.

After installation

After the installation you have to delete the install.php and the update.php! Then you can logon with the account data created during installation.

Important for those hosted on a Linux Server

For those who have been getting session time out messages as soon as you logged in: the problem is in your php.ini file. Log into your hosting providers control panel and find the php controls. Edit the php.ini: search for session.auto_start and change its attribute of 0 to 1, then save it. Now you should be able to log into gtool as you normally would.
