hi there I just installed a local galaxy server on my computer, and I loaded several fastq files with no problems while I have issues uploading 2 fastaq. I used these fastq in other analysis and they work just fine. this is the error I get:  
Fatal error: Exit code 1 ()

Tool generated the following standard error:
