Linux version cannot access internet through proxy
Submitted by iank on October 25, 2011 - 22:43
I have installed Caedium on a machine running RedHat v6, to access the internet we need to go through a proxy. When I start Caedium it tries to access the internet but fails, I have tried setting the global computer proxy address but this doesn't help.
How can I set Caedium to access the internet through a proxy. Or how do I check for updates without using Caedium?
Environment variable http_proxy set?
By "global computer proxy address" do you mean the environment variable http_proxy?
If not in your .bashrc try adding:
export http_proxy=<hostname>:<port number>
e.g.,:
export http_proxy=www.myproxy.com:80

by global computer proxy
by global computer proxy address I meant under Preferences > Network Settings.
I have just modified the .bashrc file as you suggested and now it is working fine, Thanks.
