What error messages are you getting exactly?

Comment 2 mike cudmore 2001-09-04 10:48:16 EDT

error message is 

Fatal error retrieving welcome message:
unable to set up CONNECTION tunnel

Comment 3 Jay Turner 2001-09-04 11:03:53 EDT

What version of rhn_register is this?

Comment 4 mike cudmore 2001-09-04 11:10:46 EDT

1.3.2-1

Comment 5 Jay Turner 2001-09-04 11:46:31 EDT

Try it without the 'http://' on the proxy declaration.  I think that's the problem.

Comment 6 mike cudmore 2001-09-05 04:11:46 EDT

Thanks.

Now I get 

	Host not found

The file is ........

Comment 7 Adrian Likins 2001-11-01 18:45:24 EST

the config engine for the next version of rhn_register is going
to be more robust about the format of the proxy name. 

This has been fixed in the 7.2 version, and should be available
for 7.1 shortly.
