Thanks for the heads up, tsguitar! I think that is a more elegant solution. I found the page you posted here, macmanx, and that’s how I came to this solution. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

I think the point Ruairi was trying to make is that his corporate proxy does not allow direct connection to the internet, only connection through a proxy.

Regardless, I had the same problem. A grep oxy * in ./wordpress gave no result, but in wp-includes I found that class-snoopy.php contained:


var $proxy_host = "";
// proxy host to use
var $proxy_port = "";
// proxy port to use


After populating them appropriately with the IP and port of my http proxy, dashboard loads just fine.
