Repeat Explorer Server Fatal Error, Rserve refused, server down?

I am trying to run RepeatExplorer2 on some NGS paired-end reads. I followed the protocol for sampling the reads and uploaded them to Galaxy. Upon running RepeatExplorer2 on these sampled paired-end NGS reads, I got the following error which looks like something to do with the Galaxy servers? Please let me know how I can go about troubleshooting this.

edit: As a note, I have had success running RepeatExplorer in the past (earlier this year), so i believe I am following the instructions appropriately.

Thanks!

Hi @Flint_Mitchell
What server do you use? Maybe add a server tag to the post, so admins can check what is going on.
Kind regards,
Igor
