Title: export http_proxy - repository access
Post by: helasz on August 11, 2009, 05:26:32 AM

Hi All,

I do not manage to access repository through our proxy.
I did follow suggested ways in FAQ, forums, but did not succeed.

1) Where should I put
   export http_proxy="193.134.32.12:8008" 
in order to set it up automatically at boot?

I have tried /opt/eth0.sh (referenced from /opt/bootlocal.sh), but http_proxy environmental variable is empty (not set) after boot process completes.

2) If I set http_proxy manually I can ping the same ip (152.46.7.109)  appbrowser claims not being able to access

Am I missing something?

any suggestion would be appreciated,

helasz

1. that's not what it's meant for - see below
2. it isn't set, therefore it isn't used


Just for appbrowser: execute it after the export statement, i.e.

Code: [Select]

export http_proxy=...
...
appbrowser
...
Per-user session setting: add the export statement to ~/.profile (for the default shell)

System-wide setting: add it to /etc/profile

Thanks!

per user session setting is working fro me, for the system wide one I guess I should remaster TC.

export http_proxy="ip:port" is not working for me. I had to add 'http://' at the beginning of the string:

export http_proxy="http://193.134.32.12:8008"

if this is a rule the relative howtos should be updated.

I think it's best to add the 'export http_proxy=http://....' to the .profile file in the tc home directory.
