I waant to get empathy to work but am having problems. In my research I
found this possible solution:
* Problem*: Can add a Yahoo account but get a network error connecting
(proxy server active)
* Solution*: As Yahoo uses port 5050, this port has to be able to get
through. If your internet connection is via a
proxy server the proxy server has to allow a port 5050 tunnel.
- In squid proxy, by default the group of SSL_ports are allowed to be
tunnelled. A few ports are predefined. You can add port 5050 to these ports
by adding the line
- 'acl SSL_ports port 5050 # Empathy - Yahoo connection'
- Add the above line at the bottom of the other 'acl SSL_ports ...'
lines. Everything after the '#' is a comment only
- Restart the squid proxy
- One last thing, if you don't control your proxy server, for example you
use a company proxy server, you would have to ask the administrator to
enable port 5050 tunnelling.
Unfortunately, the solution didn't tell me where squid proxy is. I tried
'locate squid' from / but that returned null. Anybody want to help me out?
Maybe I used locate incorrectly.
