Hi, The problem still persists. After following the solution that Jan provided i got errors; i am posting the last couple of lines:
IOError: ('http error', 407, 'Proxy Authentication Required', <httplib.HTTPMessage instance at 0x11eb8170>) Error getting new packages! On searching some more here i got some solution where Prof. Stein had mentioned about changing httpd.conf of the apache server. I am unable to fing out the post now and i think that that was about sage notebook. Now i tried to modify httpd.conf as follows but the error persists. I am not too sure about modifying httpd.conf. <IfModule mod_proxy.c> ProxyRequests On <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from sagemath.org </Proxy> ProxyVia On <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName sagemath.org ProxyPass /home/samrat http://sagemath.org:8000/ ProxyPassReverse /home/samrat http://sagemath.org:8000/ ErrorLog /etc/httpd/logs/proxy-server.log <Location /> DefaultType text/html </Location> </VirtualHost> I have also tried to do something like this: export http_proxy="http:// username:passw...@my_proxy_server:my_port_number/" What else do i need to do?
