Help me set up my proxy server....

[albertlee]

I am trying to set up a php based proxy server using anon proxy server:

 

 

http://anonproxyserver.sourceforge.net/

 

 

 

I followed the installation guidance and I still cant get it run........

 

http://www.supershare.co.nr/

 

Above is the address of the configuration panel of my proxy server.

 

 

Locally, at my computer, I have alreay set the "automatic proxy configuration URL" on my FireFox according to the instruction already. SO, shouldn't be a local problem, but my server is problematic.

 

 

Please help

 

thanks

 

 

ps, well, this proxy server will be used for my school so I can earn some credits for Community Service hour at my school, which I dont think you know what mean.

The problem is, after my FireFox is configured, when I try to access, say google.com, or yahoo.com, amazon.co.uk etc etc... I always get a blank page or an "unable to connect" sort of page.

 

Strangely, I can connect to my proxy server panel: http://www.supershare.co.nr/, which is on the internet, and any other subdirectories.

 

 

Any way, please help

I can't help.. but don't be so impatient! Wait for a bit. A lot of the people here have exams and are not online everyday.

 

For now just don't use the proxy until you can make it work.

random guess, but i reacon it might be a DNS problem. try pinging stuff and seing if you can resolve urls.

 

or try visiting google using it's IP @ http://66.249.93.99

Thanks for your replies Dak

 

 

I've tried pinging every domain, including google.com, and yes, no response at all.

 

So, does any of you know how to resolve it?

 

 

thx alot

 

(sorry for the impatience)

Did you click the link in my last post? Did it take you to google, or give you an error?

[albertlee]

Without following the instruction (see the hyperlink in my first post), yes, of course I can go to Google via that ip. That's simply without connecting to my proxy server.

 

But after following that instruction, yes, either the page is completely blank (white) or an error page appear.

 

 

Please help

ah, well if you can't access google through your proxy using my link, then it's not a DNS issue (like i said, it was a guess).

 

You'll have to wait for someone a bit more familiar with proxys to come along, i'm afraid.

In the configuration panel, your "allow" block doesn't actually allow anybody to connect to the proxy. Modify your existing 'host' rule to allow connections from the IP address from which you are connecting to the proxy.
