Proxy Settings

sepox

Hi,

I had several problems to install the rapid miner. The main problem is, that we use a proxy server to reach the internet. So I had to fill in the proxy settings dialogue.  After that, I was able to install all the extensions that I was interested in (except of R – but this is another story).

Unfortunately I could not save the proxy settings. When I quitted and restarted the program all settings were disappeared. That wouldn’t be such a problem, but now, when I try to start the program, the start process interrupts with the following message:

com.rapidminer.gui.tools.WelcomeScreen$2.run(Welcomecreen.java:240)
2011-04-04 15:16:17 SEVERE: Could not open http://rapid-i.com/wiki/index.php?title=Process: Connection timed out: connect (OperatorDocLoader.parseDocumentForOperator())

I searched for the proxy settings in the windows registry and in the files in the program folder, but I found nothing. What can I do? My program version is 5.1, my OS is Windows 2008 R2 (64bit).

Regards,

Sepox

Hi,

Ok, I installed Rapid-Miner once again. After that, the settings dialogue displayed the file where the proxy settings are saved. In my case it was:

C:\Users\myProfile\.RapidMiner5\5_1_006_rapidminerrc.Windows Server 2008 R2

I added these lines manually:

ftp.proxyHost=myproxy
ftp.proxyPort=8000
http.proxyHost=myproxy
http.proxyPort=8000
https.proxyHost=myproxy
https.proxyPort=8000
socks.proxyHost=myproxy
socks.proxyPort=8000

Now it works - except the socks protocol. But I think I don't really need it. Thank you.
