pminstaller.sh and proxy

[Andys]

Hi, how do I force the script to use system's proxy server?
I ran "export http_proxy=xxx" in terminal, checked by "wget www.google.com" that it was properly working and then ran the script (from same terminal) which hangs on retrieving PM's files.
I am new to Linux so maybe I am doing it wrong?

Hi,

The problem is that sudo doesn't inherit your http_proxy environment variable. It's not the script's fault as such.

To fix:

"sudo visudo"

find the section with a bunch of

Code: Select all

Defaults    env_keep += "blablabla"

and add this to the end:

Code: Select all

Defaults    env_keep += "http_proxy"

and save and exit (esc, :wq).

then, do export http_proxy="http://yourproxy:port"; ./pminstaller.sh

and you should be golden!

hth.
