Yum using proxy that requires authentication and a Password that contains the two characters \/ fails normally I can get yum to work with a proxy that requires authentication when required by doing something like http_proxy=http://<my username>:<my password>@<proxy server>:<proxy server port> export http_proxy or by filling in the appropriate information in yum.conf. But if the password contains the characters \/ this does not work. I have tried quoting the password in various ways none seem...

...k my laptop at home and connected to my Home-Hub (which issues DHCP based IPs); I can now ping from my ethernet port (dom0--eth0) and as well as VMs port (i.e. domUs) to WindowsXP machine and vice versa. The dom0 can ping any IP such as yahoo.com etc; but domU still having trouble. On resetting http_proxy variable now dom0 can get updates via "apt-get update". But the real issue for me is that domU still using ''http_proxy'' environment variable (although I tried to reset it--- as I''ve done with dom0). In the /etc/profile I commented the proxy entries and then done...

OK, I really am struggling with this one! Forgive me if I am being stupid.... I am running R 1.7.1 on Suse Linux 8.1. I connect to the internet through a proxy so I have: IAHC-LINUX03:~ # echo $http_proxy wwwcache.bbsrc.ac.uk:8080 IAHC-LINUX03:~ # echo $HTTP_PROXY wwwcache.bbsrc.ac.uk:8080 just in case ;-) SO, i go into R and I get: > source("http://www.bioconductor.org/getBioC.R") unable to connect to 'www.bioconductor.org' on port 80.

Hi, I've just installed a server with CentOS 4. This server is behind a proxy. I'm trying to import the RPM key. Already set http_proxy variable to: export "http_proxy"=http://proxy.xpto.com:3128 Truth is, command # rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4 just leaves me hanged. Any ideas ? Warm Regards, M?rio Gamito

I have R 2.4.1 on my debian system. Will be grateful for any help. Vikas

Just installed R on a new machine which is on a server. I am trying to download packages but seem to have trouble with our proxy settings. I have read the 2.19 section in R for Windows and tried what was suggested (setting http_proxy) but that did not help (still cannot connect). I think my problem is that we do not have a fixed port but use instead autoproxy. Has anyone encountered this problem and if so how can it be fixed?

...ed R from 2.5.0 to 2.6.0. With the new build, I have stumbled upon an unpleasant problem: I can no longer install packages from CRAN through a transparent proxy. With the previous version, I simply added to /usr/lib/R/etc/Renviron the following line and it functioned like a charm: ## Proxy settings http_proxy="SERVER:3128" With 2.6.0, however, R refuses to connect to the CRAN mirror. I have added to the new Renviron even more lines (useless, probably). Now the Proxy settings look like this: ## Proxy settings http_proxy="SERVER:3128" https_proxy="SERVER:3128" ftp_proxy=&quo...

Hello all, How can I configure yum to download updates when I need to authenticate to a Microsoft Forefront proxy?? I have tried to configure http_proxy variable as a "http_proxy="http://DOMAIN\\user:passwd at proxy:port/", but it doesn't works ... I have tried to set http_user and http_passwd also without luck. Thanks.

...s not consider the proxy option set yum.conf. After installing centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm together with the new yum packages, I was no longer able to use yum. In my case HTTP access is allowed only through a proxy. The proxy URL is configured in yum.conf. If I set the environment variable http_proxy from the shell I start yum, everything works. If I comment out the mirrorlist lines in CentOS-Base.repo yum is working fine without setting http_proxy environment variable (using the proxy defined in yum.conf). Anyone else seeing this or am I doing something wrong? Regards, Radu

Hi, I am trying to use R at work and at home on the same computer. At work, I have a proxy, and at home, I do not. I have, for work, a User environment variable "http_proxy" which I set in the OS (Windows XP Pro). When I am at work, and I try to retrieve data from the web with 'read.csv', things work just fine. I assume it knows how to use the proxy. The trouble is when I am at home and have no proxy, R still tries to use my work proxy. I have tried t...
