Hello
I'm trying to install Virtualmin GPL on Ubuntu 10.04. My provider tell me that I don't need to use their proxy server, but it will be better to use it. In affect, I can use Polish sites without proxy (but not all), but if I try to connect to server in another country, I have time out connection. So I use it. I configure wgetrc and environment variables to use proxy. Now on I installed allmost all of the installation script of Virtualmin, but it stops on

I read here http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RuleUpdates that I need to edit environment variables: "What if I need update requests to go through a proxy server? sa-update uses the LWP::UserAgent module, which allows certain environment variables to be set so that requests use defined proxy servers. The main one of interest is "http_proxy", which should be set to an URL defining the proxy. ie: export http_proxy='http://proxy.example.com:8080/'"
So I try to reaserch where are this variables in Ubuntu and change it also in profile file, and bash rc file. Nothing changed. I think so the last thing I can do is to setup transparent proxy on my gate. Now I have a stupid situation. Virtualmin installation stops like above, but command sa-update -D shows:

Now I'm stupid.. I don't know how to resolve this.
Thanks for any help Rafal
Howdy,
Ttrying to get all the components on a server to go through a proxy may end up being, well, tricky :-)
That may also suggest that other folks out there on the Internet from outside your country may not be able to initiate requests to your server.
That said, I'm not sure why the install script above is failing. You might try running "export http_proxy='http://proxy.example.com:8080/" on the command line right before running the Virtualmin install script.
However, if that doesn't work, you might be able to just comment out that line in the install.sh script. Open it up in a text editor, search for "sa-update", and comment out the block of lines that runs that command (it should be near the end of the script).

I comment out, but I'm affraid I will have some troubles in fututre.. For now, it works - Thanks :)
