Safari can't connect to the web proxy server (HTTP)

Hello,
I have following problem. I need to connect to the internet using a proxy server. I went to System Preferences/Network/Wi-Fi/Advanced.../Proxies. Then, I selected Web Proxy (HTTP) and enetered server's IP address and port. It looks like I did everything correctly, but Safary can't open any page because "Safari can't connect to the web proxy server (HTTP)". Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

There are three possibilities:
1. You entered the wrong address and port number for the proxy.
2. You entered the wrong user name and password, if applicable.
3. The proxy doesn't work or is incompatible.

Safari cannot open the page ~ The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)

Help! I was cruzing along just fine and went out tonight only to receive the message above:
Cannot open Page
Safari cannot open the page
The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)."
I have had all the Apple iPhone phone. Have never encountered anything like this.
All systems are GO as soon as I log on to wifi.
Can anyone help, please.

I am also fixed. I also loaded Onavo, but that was the other day ... this is what I did with the help of online chat with AT&T ...
I went to:
Settings
Wifi
I selected the network I was working on by hitting the blue arrow located on right side
At the detail page of that network I scolled down to the bottom to find HTTP Proxy boxes
I was on Off and changed it to Auto and it worked!
I was soo jazzed!!
Instructions said if it was already on AUTO, to change it to Manual and make your Port = 80 but I didn't have to do that!
YIPPIE!! I'm a new man!!
Go to settings -----> WI-FI -----> select the network you're using ------> hit the blue arrow located on the right-side of the network name (ie: show details of that network), this takes you to another page.
--------> at the bottom of the page you'll see "HTTP Proxy" boxes (located below the "renew lease" button) ---------------> change the proxy to AUTO. Note: if you're already at AUTO, change it to "Manual" and make your Port = 80.

"Safari can't connect to the proxy server"

Hello again...
My 10.6 Server is up and running! thanks for all the help...however...
When I try to access the internet via Safari from the actual server, I get the "Safari can't connect to the proxy server" message" but all the client machines can successfully access the internet....
I'll start to read up on proxies but if someone can offer a suggestion in the meantime, that would be terrific. I know it's something simple I am missing...
thanks!

No snarkiness taken Mr. Hoffman...As a full-time high school teacher, I've been setting up our small school server on my own time for the past three months...with the help of the server docs, manuals, and the great help found within this forum, we are finally to a point where we can begin using the server.
What I'm just not understanding is WHAT proxy do I use? I see all kinds of proxy servers out there but is there a specific one I should be using?
Again, forgive me for my ignorance on this matter...I just don't understand why after a year of not using a proxy server, all of a sudden we need to have one? And this issue came about when Safari was unable to "connect to the proxy server"...

When IT folks (or parents) are looking to monitor or control or track network access.
up to this point I don't believe we were using a proxy server?
2) A proxy "regulates" what traffic is passed between machines?
A proxy can enforce access, or can cache access, yes.
So no proxy in effect means traffic goes unchecked between computers...?
Correct.
do we HAVE to use a proxy server with the server?
3) Where does a proxy take effect? At the Router/Gateway? The Server? or >individual machines?
A functional proxy requires a proxy server, and settings at the firewall, and >on the client box.
The proxy setting can be established via WGM, or locally via the system >preferences, or (and the following are less common) via malware or such, or due >to a bug. These settings are usually altered with WGM and system preferences, >in the vast majority of cases.
Enabling a proxy server on the snow leopard server should help us out...but again, which address do I use? (in the server doc you referenced, it had "proxyserver.apple.com:8080")but I think that was just the format to use...
Without intending any snark, read the manuals? Servers are big and complex >and expect an understanding of much more than the client boxes do; that's the >inherent difference between "server computing" and "client computing", after >all.
I'm definitely appreciating how much involvement and understanding it takes to get one of these set up...and over the past three months, we've come a long way...
again, thanks for the guidance and help!

Safari Not Loading Web Pages (Safari can't connect to the server)

I'm seeing increasing problems with Safari being unable to connect to websites. When the problem starts to manifest itself you see the error:
Safari can't connect to the server.
Safari can't open the page.
Then you see the URL information. It is always seems to be sites that are trying to load HTTPS pages.
Clearing the cache and resetting Safari will make it go away temporarily, but it always comes back.
Note that when this happens you might happen to see something like this in the address bar:
file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/

I'm having the same problem, I can open safari but when I try to go to a website it just says "server stopped responding." I just updated to the new version and that's when it started happening, it was working find before the update. Any suggestions???

"Safari can't connect to the server".

Today when attempting to launch Safari, 'Little Snitch' tells me that:
"Safari wants to connect to www.i.google.com on port 80 / IP address 72.14.213.105 / Reverse DNS Name pv-in-f105.1e100.net "
When I 'Deny' this I get the message that "Safari can't connect to the server".
I do not understand how or why i.google is preventing my access to the web.
It's never happened before and Google is not my home page.
Do you have any ideas?

HI,
According to VersionTracker, Little Snitch is not compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6

Safari can't connect to the server - still causing problems

Hi
I have read through several topics relating to this problem - but have yet to be able to resolve the issue. So apologies in advance if it has already been answered in one of the many threads.
I have 2 computers both working off the same broadband hub connection.
Both have the same version of the OS and the same version of Safari: OS 10.4.11 and Safari 4.0.4
I have checked that the network settings are the same and all parental control settings are the same.
The laptop will access sites that the desktop will not.
Can anyone shed some light as to why numerous sites I try to access on the iMac result in a Safari message "Safari can’t connect to the server".
Same applies when I attempt the same sites with Firefox.
I have emptied caches, resolved all font issues, addressed terminal and plists etc. etc. - all to no avail.
Help!!!

Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.

Problem with Safari **Safari can't connect to the server**

My internet is working fine, but I keep having to refresh the page because I'm always getting "safari can't connect to the server". Same thing happens with different browsers. I've read a couple things online and unistalled everything that I think is causing the problem but it's still happening frequently. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Most school networks are closed networks. You can access their Intranet, with all the files and peripherals and everything, but you need to have a specific password or IP address to access any outside connection. I have an ibook G4 that's 3 years old. I used it in high-school to access AOL wirelessly. That was before closed and protected networks were prefered. It shouldn't matter if the school intranet is widows based or not. You need to access your own internet service sometimes in order to get any reaction. If you simply use safari, you might only be connecting to the schools intranet, which only links together the schools computers and keeps the system isolated. Also, you need to check your firewall settings, in fact, just turn off the firewall. The schools sytem is firewalled up the bum and you shouldn't get attacks anyway because you're running the mac os.
You might also try an alternative approach. Go into a computer lab, access one of the systems, then go to control panels and look up every connection you can find. Take down all of the info and then see which matches up with similar info on your mac. Then go to another pc and look up the same info again. Is it different? How? Then take that listing to the system administrator and show them. They may not know that a mac has a simpler interface than the pc, so you may have to do some prodding to get them to take a look. If they still tell you it wont work, you could try boot-camp or a virtualizer (to let you run windows alongside the mac os). If you use a virtualizer, you can get your own copy of windows and then share it's connection to the main system to the mac.

Safari Can't Connect to the Internet

In an attempt to eliminate kernel panics after upgrading to 10.4.7, I removed two login items which were installed by Earthlink Total Access. After having done so, Safari can't connect to the server. I can run Mail, Foxfire and Moztlla.

same here. Safari 3.0.4 opens perfectly well, checks .rss feeds and nothing seems to be wrong.
but it does not do anything in terms of internet browsing. entering a url does not help, clicking on a bookmark does nothing either. if I click on a link from, say an e-mail safari opens but the screen stays white and the adress field empty.
any ideas, I tried a forum search but could not find anything related but this topic.
help is greatly appreciated!

Safari can't connect to the server, but firefox can

i have a few websites (mainly google sites) that don't show with safari but they do with firefox
i'm getting a "Safari can't connect to the server" error
to take DNS out of the picture i am looking up the ip address for the server and use the ip instead of the domain name so
http://74.125.19.103/images?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=test&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um= 1&sa=N&tab=wi
works in firefox but not in safari
any ideas are more than welcome.
thanks,
tom

Hello Tom:
No I meant restart the computer. OS X rebuilds preference files as needed, but I am not sure what it does if you do not restart.
You could also reset Safari (that will also delete your cookies).
Just for the heck of it I would also run permission repair and also run repair disk from your software install DVD (those will probably not fix anything, but it does not take much time either).

Is the web proxy server open source?

Has Sun open sourced the web proxy server? If so, where can I get at the source?
I'm trying to create a proxy instance that can cache 1TB of data, caching files up to 2GB in size - something you think would be trivial for an enterprise proxy server to do. It's not looking possible at present but I'd like to look through the code to see if there's anything I can do about it.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

It's not looking possible at present but I'd like to look through the code to see if there's anything I can do about it.Proxy 4.0 currently has a limit of 32GB on the cache capacity. We plan to
either bump up, or remove, this limit in 4.0.10.

The ITS could not connect to the Web Application Server or the R/3 System

Hi Gurus
we are in the process of insalling ITS 6.20 (ITS version is 620010318381 ( itsWindowsX64_31-200001681, R/3 4.7 200)
Actually we installed it for dev/qas server with connectin mode property as "Connect to SAP system Using Applicatin Server" these are working fine for webgui!
and the same thing i installed for Production as connection mode property as " Connect to SAP System Using message Server" (hostname/IP, port as 3600 (as instance number is 00) here in the production evnironment we have 2 app servers. The installation got successful but i am not getting the log on screen through the link: http://10.3.3.175:81/scripts/wgate/webgui!
the error message is :
Connect Error
The ITS could not connect to the Web Application Server or the R/3 System
any help please
Thanks in advance

Hello Balaji,
Check the global.srvc file for errors in the R/3 system information. The ITS uses the following to connect to your system:
~appserver
~routestring
~systemname
~systemnumber
~logingroup
~messageserver
Which parameters are used depend on how you are connecting (logon group, route string, etc.)

ITS could not connect to the Web Application Server or the R/3 System

ITS 6.20 on a single host on a WinXP test machine, connecting to R3 4.6C.
The webgui <u>was</u> working, but a test application created in the WebStudio would not work.
Now it's the other way around, the test application works fine, but the webgui fails with a "The ITS could not connect to the Web Application Server or the R/3 System."
I have not managed to get ../scripts/wgate/admin/! to work either.
Is it possible to have both the webgui and WebStudio created applications, working on the same ITS installation?
If yes, any ideas how?
Many thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,
You have to check the connection data in the relevant service file e.g.
~systemname
~messageserver
~logingroup
~appserver
~systemnumber
~routestring
~connectstring
If the Agate doesn't run you would see an ITS 500 error in the browser.
Thanks and regards,
Dieter

Can't connect to the modem's server.

Hi guys, I have a major problem.
When ever I connect to the internet with my modem, it works. But, when I connect to internet with my router and modem, I can't connect. But I have solved my problem by resetting both, my wireless router and modem. Then after I reconfigure my wireless router all I need to do is to log into my modem's server. But I can't connect to the modem's server. I tired logging in with "admin" (being the password) but I still can't connect to it.
I am using: Verizon Broadband Network
                 Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router model: WRT160N
                 Westell modem model 6100
What is the problem? Has anyone experienced this problem before?
Message Edited by machg on 04-11-2009 07:10 PM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You will not be able to log into the modem as long as the router is plugged in
You must configure the modem first to bridge mode,then plug in the router and log into it
   1.)unplug router and have only the modem in
       go to 192.168.1.1 enter
      that will take you into the verizon modem/ if you have reset the modem then your user is; admin
                                                                                                                     your password is ; password
     once you lopg into that it will ask you to change the username/password
      just type in ADMIN in all 3 blanks
now you are logged into the modem;;;;;;go to network at the top,then network connections on the left,broadband connection ,you will then put your protocol on bridge/routed bridge,
now go to wireless settings at the top and make sure wireless is turned on
you have the option to set up a security key on basic security settings
once your modem resets then plug in your router,you are now in bridge mode and the modems connection has moved to your router. you must restart modem and computer for everything to take effect....
also make sure and refresh your network list on your laptop
Hope this works

Can't connect to the window application server.

I have installed the Sun Secure Global Desktop Software 4.2,
the client can connect to the unix application server but can't connect to the window applicaiont server.
What can i do?
Thank you.

Hi.
Are you sure you're using a Windows server which support Terminal Services? In other words, try (on the Windows server) by escaping to the CMD prompt and issue the
netstat -n
command as to see if port 3389 is listed in LISTEN state.
Best,
Rob
