Hi All,
I am having a very basic installation issue, however not being a major linux user I cannot seem to find a sensible answer online.
I have a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04LTS and all the associated packages installed as per the instructions at observium.org however when I try to check out the latest version using SVN I am getting the following error :
root@CAL-MGT-MON:/home/nelsons# svn co http://www.observium.org/svn/observer/trunk observium svn: OPTIONS of 'http://www.observium.org/svn/observer/trunk': Could not read status line: connection was closed by server (http://www.observium.org)
Hi Steve,
I think that's a fairly generic "Can't connect" message. If you're behind a firewall and normally proxy your HTTP traffic, you'll need to add something like this to ~/.subversion/servers:
[global] http-proxy-host = proxy http-proxy-port = 3128-or-whatever http-proxy-username = username http-proxy-password = plaintext-pass
