Re: [Evolution] Evolution Summary view proxy setting when in Gnome 2 is where ?

[Daryl Manning <dwm wakatara com>]

Mark...

As per your instructions and the Ximian help page, I tried the following
but got no joy... As mentioned, RH 8 system running Gnome2 and Evo 1.2
(note: not using red carpet, just apt...)

gconftool-1 --type=bool --set /system/gnome-vfs/use-http-proxy "TRUE"

gconftool-1 --type=string --set /system/gnome-vfs/http-proxy-host
"host.subdomain.domain"

gconftool-1 --type=int --set /system/gnome-vfs/http-proxy-port "8080"

Anything look wrong to you? I checked the settings twice to make sure...

thanks for the pointer!
ciao !
Daryl.
