uwsgi_response_write_body_do() TIMEOUT "downloading bam files"

Greetings.

Our Environment:
Galaxy: 19_09 ;
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Database: Postgres <<<— one of the few deviations from default install
Galaxy is nearly a default install and not configured to run behind nginx.
nginx does not appear to be running nor can I find an nginx.conf file anywhere on the machine.

The PROBLEM
I am a newbie admin and my users are running into an issue when downloading larger files. They can download index files which are about 96bytes. However, the bam files (~15MB) fail. This is Galaxy 19_09 and it is not configured to run behind nginx; a nearly default installation. I’ve read several posts about “proxy_max_temp_file_size” setting in nginx but nginx is not setup or running on the server.

I found these posts but they are all related to nginx

Local galaxy nginx max file download size 1GB

I’m not sure where to go from here. Hoping someone has experience with this issue.

One of the errors from Galaxy.log:

Hello, Wanted to post an update. I just heard from the users that after I bounced that Galaxy server the issue has magically gone away.

For now assume this issue is resolved. Thank you.

Ah, magic in system administration is always a relief! :upside_down_face:

Very glad you were able to sort out the problems, and thanks for posting back!
