New subject: [MediaWiki-l] instant commons with mediawiki 1.20 does not work behind a proxy

16 Nov 2012

hi folks,

Situation: InstantCommons does not work for me (I sitting behind a proxy).

Configuration:
- mediawiki 1.20 on debian squeeze

Proxyconfig in Localsettings.php
# PROXY Setting
$wgHTTPProxy = "http://*<myproxy>*:8080";
# proxy bypass list
$wgConf->localVHosts[] = '*<www.secret.com>*';

In my firewall-log I see that the debian-box tries to connect directly
(which does not work)
- Server: 91.198.174.224 port 80 http
- wikimedia-lb.esams.wikimedia.org

Any ideas?
Thx for input.

Cheers,
Roland
