Ok, I have tried all the various options that I can think of and always just get the same 407 error.

System preferences proxy works fine with safari etc and I have checked that the download site is working by going to the URL directly... so, not sure what else to try.

I am therefore trying the port dmg cmd to create .dmg files and see if I can make that work :-)

Many thanks

the http may or may not be a requirement of the school's chosen proxy solution. Try both...one way will work. Also .. type 'env' outside of macport and make sure you don't have any *_proxy variables set, as they will conflict with the macports.conf setting.

Yes, I have removed the #.

and I put the proxy URL in the form :

# HTTP proxy:
proxy_http            proxy.uni.ac.uk:8080

with no http://  is that correct?

cheers

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.

You have removed the "#" from the beginning of the line? If not, it will have no effect.
