[chef] Re: Re: using database cookbook behind a proxy (require 'pg')

[Marco Betti < >]

problem solved using Ruby’s predefined ENV variable to set the environment variable http_proxy (well understood by gem install) in a wrapper recipe that calls:

ENV['HTTP_PROXY'] = "myproxy"
include_recipe "postgresql::ruby"

Thanks for the advice, but it still doesn't work also setting both /opt/chef/embedded and ~root/.gemrc

Yes, it is an omnibus installation.

This is a big problem for us... is there any other organization using database cookbook with proxy for http/s connection?

You using omnibus chef-client? gemrc should work, you just have to put in a different file - /opt/chef/embedded/etc/gemrc maybe? ~root/.gemrc may work as well.
