Have you ever tried to run a script on Redbrick that communicates with external websites and found that it doesn't work?

This might be due to the proxy being set wrong. For example on [[Rbwiki_InstallingWordpress|InstallingWordpress]] the proxy must be set manually in one of the files.

The proxy on Redbrick is =http://proxy.dcu.ie:8080=. This is normally set via enviromental variables that your script can pick up. This variables are case-sensitive.

<pre>
HTTP_PROXY=proxy.dcu.ie:8080
FTP_PROXY=proxy.dcu.ie:8080
http_proxy=http://proxy.dcu.ie:8080
ftp_proxy=http://proxy.dcu.ie:8080
</pre>

These variables break Python's =urllib= module because it wants the =HTTP_PROXY= setting but finds the =http_proxy=. You can quickly fix this in your script by having:

<pre>
os.environ['HTTP_PROXY'] = "http://proxy.dcu.ie:8080"
</pre>

or

<pre>
HTTP_PROXY = "http://proxy.dcu.ie:8080"
</pre>

(or both) near the top of the Python script (at least after =import os=).
