[nexpose-users] Ubuntu install

[Errol Fagone]

Hi Matt,



You will need to configure your proxy within the NeXpose GUI to allow NeXpose to reach Rapid7's update server to complete the activation of your NeXpose Community installation. To do this:



1.  Log into the NeXpose UI

2.  Click on the Administration Tab

3.  Across from NeXpose Security Console, click 'Manage'

4.  Go to the Auto-updating tab

5.  Enter in your proxy information, click save.

6.  Try activating NeXpose again.



*Also, be sure that your NeXpose Console has outbound access over port 80 to updates.rapid7.com



Thanks!

Errol

I am having an issue installing the community edition.  The start up

doesn't register with nexpose.  I believe I need to set nexpose to use a

proxy, this is on Ubuntu 8.04.



AU-5EDC7B90C4/28/10 3:02 PM: Establishing HTTP connection with

updates.rapid7.com via proxy (updates.rapid7.com:80)...

Nexpose     4/28/10 3:03 PM: Failed to activate product.

Nexpose     4/28/10 3:03 PM: com.rapid7.updater.UpdateException: Product

activation failed



Could you get me in touch with someone who would know how to make this

setting?



Thanks,



Matt
