Fatal error installing: 'resolving hostname'; Aborting...

[Boldra]

The title says it all, really.

After selecting my packages, the installer immediately stops with the
message

Fatal error installing: 'resolving hostname'; Aborting...

It doesn't seem to make any difference which packages I select, I get
this message with the default options.
camelbox_2008.304.0742Z-odin

hostname and domain in my case is simple alphanumeric. I have
Activeperl and cygwinperl on the system, and these return the hostname
correctly.

Did you choose another package repository during the install process?
Repository selection looks like this screen:

http://camelbox.googlegroups.com/web/camelbox-mirror_selection-30Jul2008.jpg

Can you ping the master repository server? (camelbox.googlecode.com)

C:\Documents and Settings\demo>ping camelbox.googlecode.com

Are you running any proxies or any kind of firewalling software on
your computer?

Your system's hostname doesn't matter for installing Camelbox, it's
whether or not it can contact the repository server on googlecode.com
that matters.

Thanks,

Thanks spicyjack, the error message doesn't say anything about the
repository address, so I wouldn't have figured that out on my own.

The problem is apparently my proxy. The installer is ignoring env
HTTP_PROXY. Is there an option other than fetching from source?

No, not really, the rudimentary proxy support in the installer is
limited to how you have IE set up, it won't go look for environment
variables.

Your options would be to either set up a local mirror on an internal
webserver and point the installer to it, or perform an install on a
different machine, archive it and then move it over to your proxied
machine, making sure to set up the %PATH% environment variable
correctly.

Thanks,
