Proxy Servers

Kronos · Posted: Thu Sep 05, 2002 12:42 am Post subject: Proxy Servers

I tried rsync during install setup, with adding the correct settings for my proxy server. It wouldn't go through due to some sort of error, saying proxy refused a port needed. Is there a way I can manually do this - download something that will let me get through the rsync step without rsyncing?

Thanks

Additionally, you can specify other proxy settings in /etc/make.conf... well, I guess that's a little ways down, but still.

I never did not have the port listing in there. I don't know what's going on. I'll get the exact error and post it in a bit.

Exact error:

rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage

bad response from proxy - HTTP/1.1 502 Proxy Error (SSL port specified is not allowed.)

rsync: failed to connect to 10.0.0.253: Success

rsync error: error in socketIO (code 10) at clientserver.c(97)

I have problems with the proxy server because my proxy has autentification.

If i establish the /etc/make.conf -> HTTP_PROXY= username:password@server:port

now it says server not supported for ai_socktype

It's not in the install instructions, but it IS in the portage manual:

Note: If you are firewalled from the outside world and rsync seems unable to use your HTTP proxy, you can update your Portage tree using a snapshot tarball. A snapshot tarball is available from http://www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/snapshots/.

I'm sittin here at my boarding school at my own machine, connected to an awfully fast intranet, that would be quite cool for installing gentoo.
First I need to specify my username (with a dot between two words, at.de , unchangeable ) for me, and my password. is there a way? I didn't find one in /etc/make.conf, so if, could you please tell me?
Second, I would like to know if rsync needs a special portt, because I know that at least some ports are blocked due to pupils using file sharing services.

Thanks in advance, hopefully soon to be back with my new gentoo linux system,

the /mnt/gentoo/usr i think. then cd /portage/scripts and ./bootstrap.sh

I think.

Now I'm having problems because ibiblio.org doesn't have the latest version in their mirror of a package during emerge system. my IT dept. is screwing with the proxy, and right now there's next to no ftp access as they mess with proxy authentication. so it checks for the file at ibiblio - doesn't find it because it's looking for version 3.6.3, and they have version 3.6.2 - then it looks at another site, but it is ftp, so the proxy refuses it. gah.

hi, i'm having a bit of a problem

i'm trying to emerge (believe it or not) numerous programs. - all's fine so far

now the problem begins, the sysadmin on my local network is running a proxy which requires users to log in with user, pass and domain in order to surfe the internet - (would look something like this: http://user:pass@domain:port).

i've configured /etc/wget/wgetrc to use this proxy
