Hi Ryan & Jeff
Thanks for the help.
I have tried editing the macports.conf but it doesn't seem to make
any difference... still get failed to fetch with 407 error
The proxy is also set in system preferences and I have tried the
macports.conf with
#proxy_override_env yes
both enabled and off, again no difference.
I sure it must be something really simple that I am missing....
However, I can't log in to the Mac again till it wakes up tomorrow at
6am UK time, but then need to try and have it working for monday
morning....
Any help much appreciated :-)
Cheers
Anot

Hi
I hope you can help. I am trying to get MacPorts working from a
University with a proxy server.
When I last did this there was no problem and no config required,
but that was with OSX10.5, this time it is with OSX 10.6.4.
Selfupdate works fine, but when attempting to fetch a port it fails
with a 407 error.
Is there some config required to macports.conf?
There are several proxy-related config variables for MacPorts. From
the bottom of my /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf.default:
# Proxy support
# Precedence is: env, macports.conf, System Preferences
# That is, if it's set in the environment, that will be used instead
of
# anything here or in System Preferences. Setting
proxy_override_env to yes
# will cause any proxies set here (or in System Preferences if set
there but
# not here) to override what's in the environment.
# Note that System Preferences doesn't have an rsync proxy definition.
# Also note, on 10.5, sudo will clear many environment variables
including
# those for proxy support.
# Equivalent environment variables: http_proxy, HTTPS_PROXY,
FTP_PROXY,
# RSYNC_PROXY, NO_PROXY
#
#proxy_override_env yes
# HTTP proxy:
#proxy_http hostname:12345
# HTTPS proxy:
#proxy_https hostname:12345
# FTP proxy:
#proxy_ftp hostname:12345
# rsync proxy:
#proxy_rsync hostname:12345
# hosts not to go through the proxy (comma-separated, applies to
HTTP, HTTPS,
# and FTP, but not rsync):
#proxy_skip internal1, internal2, internal3
If you do not see these lines in your macports.conf, you should
spend some time comparing your macports.conf with the
macports.conf.default and pulling any relevant changes from the
latter into the former. Then you can configure the proxy settings.
