Hello,

I get the following error messeage when I try to open up sahi controller.

Sahi Error - Connection refused: connect
Either the remote server is down or not reachable

You need an external proxy to be configured.

You could configure the external proxy by editing <sahi_root>/config/sahi.properties and setting these properties:

ext.http.proxy.enable=true
ext.http.proxy.host=external_proxy_server_hostname_or_ip
ext.http.proxy.port=external_proxy_server_port

If your proxy needs authorization, you should set these properties too.
ext.http.proxy.auth.enable=true
ext.http.proxy.auth.name=proxy_authorization_username
ext.http.proxy.auth.password=proxy_authorization_password

You should do the same with ext.https settings for https sites.


Can you tell me how I can resolve the issue?

Thanks and regards,

Sean

    Do you normally use a proxy to connect to the internet?

    Yes. I use system proxy seetings for internet here.

    Hi Sean,

    You will need to configure Sahi to use your proxy settings.

    Follow the instructions shown with the error.

    Edit <sahi_root>/config/sahi.properties and set these properties:
    ext.http.proxy.enable=true
ext.http.proxy.host=your_system_proxy_server
ext.http.proxy.port=your_system_proxy_server_port

    If your proxy needs authorization, you should set these properties too. 
    ext.http.proxy.auth.enable=true
ext.http.proxy.auth.name=proxy_authorization_username
ext.http.proxy.auth.password=proxy_authorization_password
    You should do the same with ext.https settings for https sites.

    Let us know if you need more help.

    Regards,
    Narayan

    Hello,

    Can you teach me how I can figure out my proxy server adress and port?

    Thank you.

    I was successful in circumventing the localhost/port 9999 problem by following the recommendations Narayan suggested in post #3. (Also, it indicates right on the web page the steps to be performed). Now however I can no longer get the Controller to pop (Ctrl + Alt +2xclick). This used to work before I made the edits to the properties file.

    Is there a way I can configure the Controller to launch by other means? Or additional troubleshooting I can perform?

    I am using:
    Firefox 3.6.3
    Windows 7 32 bit
    Java 1.6

    thanks
