Getting started
Hi, I'm having trouble getting things to work. I'm going through the Hello World tutorial and can't get the proxy setup correctly.
I'm using IE 6 and have a connection to the web via SBC/Yahoo DSL.
I follow the instructions by selecting Setting under the Dial-up and Virtual Private Network option. Then, on the Advanced tab, I setup localhost and 8777 as under the Proxy address to use and Port columns for the HTTP and Secure fields.
When I "Start Proxy Server" and enter the URL given in the example, nothing is logged to Progress or Log tabs in SS. Is there another setting that must be "set" ?
As info, I left the Port as 8777 on the General tab in SS.
TIA
Gus
Getting started
Hi Gus,
SBC/Yahoo may be atypical, but generally with DSL you'll want to use the "Local Area Network (LAN) settings" section in IE as opposed to the "Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings" box in order to set the proxy server. If screen-scraper isn't responding at all my guess is that it's because of that issue. If you still have trouble with that you might also try a different browser, such as Firefox.
Kind regards,
