 Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2004 1:22 pm Post subject: Automatic Proxy variable [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi,
I've just installed Gentoo in 7 or 8 computers but there's a thing than I cannot resolve.
When I open a new console, i always have to define the proxy with :
| Code: |
export http_proxy="x.x.x.x:xxxx"
export ftp_proxy="x.x.x.x:xxxx"
export rsync_proxy="x.x.x.x:xxxx"
|
One mate told me than i should define this variables on .bash_profile file or .bash, but it does not work.
Please help!! i will suicide myself if i have to write it again!!

Just for the sake of completeness: The right place would have been .bashrc instead of .bash_profile. The latter is sourced by bash when you log in interactively, the former with non-interactive logins (e.g. by opening a new xterm). |

You obviously didn't read the comment at the top of profile.env i.e. | Code: | # THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY env-update.
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE. CHANGES TO STARTUP PROFILES
# GO INTO /etc/profile NOT /etc/profile.env |
