Ah!  Got it – I was using the full URL in the Proxy settings in Stackbuilder.  It only needs the “proxy.whatever.com” without the protocol

 

Thanks for the assist Craig!

Hi John,

if what you are seeing in the browser looks something like this

<applications>
<application>
<id>pgoledb</id>
<platform>windows</platform>
<version>1.0.0.20</version>
<name>PgOleDB</name>
<description>An OLE DB Provider for PostgreSQL</description>
<category>Database Drivers</category>
<format>msi</format>
<upgradeoptions>/qr REINSTALLMODE=vamus REINSTALL=all</upgradeoptions>
<checksum>E148691AA76A81033438FC9B03F4478A</checksum>
<mirrorpath>
/projects/pgFoundry/stackbuilder/PgOleDB-1.0.0.20.msi
</mirrorpath>
<versionkey>Software\PgOleDB\Version</versionkey>
</application>
...

Then this is the xml that you should expect to see from the URL http://www.postgresql.org/applications-v2.xml.

If this is the case it would seem that your proxy settings in IE are ok, and that stackbuilder is having difficulty accessing it.

I don't use windows any more so cant suggest where to look further in stackbuilder, here are some places you could look though.

  • Are there settings in stackbuilder for Proxy? 
  • Do you have firewall software installed that blocks unauthorised applications from accessing the the internet?


Hope this helps

Regards

Craig

Sachin,

 

I confirmed HTTP Proxy Settings with our company’s tech Helpdesk and website is still showing up as HTML code.  They navigated to same URL with same effect.

Could this possibly be an issue with the actual site rather than my settings or IE??

John,

You need to fix the HTTP Proxy Settings as per your IE. Also if the URL gets opened in the IE, it should get opened by the stackbuilder also.

Hi Sachin,

 

I tried setting the http Proxy details in SB based on the settings in my IExplorer – i.e., http://proxy.foo.com , port 80, to no avail…

I don’t have an FTP proxy I’m aware of, but perhaps that’s what I need instead?

John,

Are you behind a proxy server?
If yes try setting the Proxy details on the Introduction/First page od Stackbuilder and then try to connect.

 
Tom, thank again -
 
PG did install with StackBuilder, but when I try to use it to pull the
list of available applications, I'm getting an error message:
 
Failed to open the application list:
http://www.postgresql.org/applications-v2.xml
 
Error: The URL specified could not be opened
 
When I navigate to the URL using my browser, it simply displays html
code...?

Oh, then this is Windows?  Sorry, my comments were for Unix-ish
platforms.  I'm afraid I don't know anything about building software
on Windows ... but you probably don't want to get involved with that
anyway.  You should look around and see if there's a prepackaged
version of the temporal module available already.  If you used the
one-click Windows installer for PG, the "StackBuilder" component
might have it available.
