hi nigel,

i deployed the system with the use of nginx - now the first problem
disapears, but the other problem occurs:
the service_proxy script don't care about the proxy which defined in the
/etc/environment :-( .
is there another option to set an env var in the application (proxy and
port?) with running paster the system proxy and port is recognized !

thanx in advance
