Hi to all I'm Carmelo (Lello) and I'm working on Bm29 in ESRF. Recently I have updated IFEFFIT to version 1.2.8 a computer in the beamline (OS winXP profesional edition), but I unfortunatly noticed that the applications didn't start. Makinig some test and looking the previus posted newsmail I concluded that this behavior is probably due to the firewall of ESRF. In order to obtain a more susessfull help from the computter service, anyone could explein me wich is exacly the problem Here below there is the runner.exe.log
Lello, I think you are correct. The FAQ has a relevant entry: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/ifeffit/faqwiz?req=show&file=faq02.008.htp It says: If you are using a computer that uses a web proxy and the updater is not downloading files, you may need to set the Environmental Variable http_proxy to your web proxy. I believe (but I'm certainly no Windows expert) that this can be set by hand by digging into Control Panel -> System Properties -> Environment Variables. I believe that, when you set a browser to recognize a proxy, that sets an application-specific registry entry and not a system-wide one. That makes it hard for runner to know where to look for that information.
