Hi,

Where to change the proxy settings for connecting to Plugin Repository at http://plugins.liferay.com/community.

Thanks

I tried doing changes in sytem.ext.properties file but nothing happened.
Any one.......any idea how to do this.


Thanks in advance

Have you solved this issue? I've got the same problem.

Thx.

Still not able to figure out , how to connect to plugin repository

This helped me to get acces to the plugin repository from behind a proxy:

I've tracked down a bit of code in Liferay 5.1.0 that needs to be rewritten. In com.liferay.portal.util.HttpImpl where it says:

public boolean isNonProxyHost(String host) {
    if (_nonProxyHostsPattern [b]== null ||[/b]
        _nonProxyHostsPattern.matcher(host).matches()) {
            return true;
    }
    else {
        return false;
    }
}

it SHOULD say:

public boolean isNonProxyHost(String host) {
    if (_nonProxyHostsPattern [b]!= null &&[/b]
        _nonProxyHostsPattern.matcher(host).matches()) {
           return true;
    }
    else {
        return false;
    }
}

To avoid recompiling code, if you are behind a proxy make sure you set the system property http.nonProxyHosts to a non null value. Basically, set it to "dummy.at.nowhere" if you don't have real values to put in there. Set http.proxyPort and http.proxyHost normally.

Under SJAS/Glassfish you can easily set the system properties in Admin Console/Application Server/JVM Settings/JVM Options.

5.2.2 still has this faulty code as below. The workaround is as described to have at least one nonProxyHost specified. You should put the proxy settings in the system-ext.properties file. Even though the admin manual is not clear, you can still create a system-ext.properties file and put it in the same place as portal-ext.properties file and expect Liferay to pick it up.

http.proxyHost=<your proxy host name>
https.proxyHost=<your proxy host name>
https.proxyPort=8080
http.proxyPort=8080
http.nonProxyHosts="localhost"
</your></your>

NB1. If your proxy server requires authentication you should put the authentication settings in the portal-ext.properties file I believe (although I have not tested this out).

NB2. This is nothing to do with reverse proxy server (where clients access liferay portal via a DMZ reverse proxy server such as Apache with mod_proxy.

NB3. This is everything to do with allowing liferay application and portlets to access an external web resource via a (forward) proxy server e.g. to allow acess to the official and community plugin repositories.

Could anybode state, where to put this file? Changing catalina.properties and portal.properties did not work for me. There is no system-ext.properties in the standard bundle.

You just have to create this plain text file, containing only :

http.proxyHost=xx.xx.xx.xx
https.proxyHost=xx.xx.xx.xx
http.proxyPort=xx
https.proxyPort=xx
http.nonProxyHosts="localhost"

and place it in {appserver}/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes

I apologize for taking so long for a reply. This approach worked. Many thanks.

I had issues but found that you need it entered in

catalina.properties and you portal-ext.properties

http.proxyHost=yourProxyURL
http.proxyPort=yourProxyPort
http.proxyUser=yourUserName
http.proxyPassword=yourPassword

Boom! Bask in glory on the internet in your portal.

http.proxyHost=yourProxyURL (by pass URL based on browser options) ?
http.proxyPort=8080 (default) ?
http.proxyUser= if no user - leave blank ?

Yes, if your proxy does not have a username or password you can leave these fields blank, or (even better) not include them in your .properties file at all.
