Titanium Error communicating with the server: Error: connect ETIMEDOUT

Question

After installing Titanium Studio on a Windows 7 pc I attempted to create a new mobile project but received an error indicating I was not logged in and the project was not created. Also note that this pc is behind a corporate proxy server so when it tried to create the new project it was attempting to communicate with Appcelerator servers to create a new GUID for this project. It was accessing the servers directly not using the corporate proxy.

When I open the Terminal and run the ti command ti status it returns I am not logged in. I then run the command ti login, enter my username/password and the result is[ERROR] Error: Error communicating with the server: Error: connect ETIMEDOUT

Answer 1

The Titanium CLI setting for httpProxyServer is empty so no proxy was being used. To verify this run this command and find the httpProxyServer attribute.

ti config

cli.httpProxyServer    = ""

to set this attribute:

ti config --append cli.httpProxyServer http://enter-your-proxy-address-here.com:80

cli.httpProxyServer saved

now login:

ti login
