I'm installing PhoneGap/Cordova. When I run the command line npm install -g phonegap, I get the following. Has anyone run into this? Is this a problem with PhoneGap or my configuration? 407 is Proxy Authentication. I'm behind a proxy and I have already configured that information.

You said you configured npm to use the proxy, but I think it is obvious from the error that you did not - or maybe did so correctly. Have you tried double checking?

Maybe try "npm config get proxy" to confirm?

  • I verified the proxy and port with our Admin here. And I ran "npm config list" to check that it was correct. In fact, that error looks to me like a lot of html from phonegap, so I'm pretty sure I'm making it outside the firewall. – jlembke Jan 15 '14 at 23:13
  • I don't know - the HTML there looks like a firewall issue. I don't see anything in there related to phonegap.com, outside of the URL reported. – Raymond Camden Jan 15 '14 at 23:17

    Ah look - it is asking for authentication. Did you specify those values too? Here is an example - oops - hit enter:npm config set proxy http://login:pass@host:port $ npm config set https-proxy http://login:pass@host:port – Raymond Camden Jan 15 '14 at 23:18
  • Ugh - sorry - I have no idea how to do a line break in comments - but hopefully you can read the above. – Raymond Camden Jan 15 '14 at 23:18
  • Turns out we have a lot of unexpected things going on with our corporate firewall. And we allow things like spaces in usernames and other details that cause problems to work around. Bottom line, we abandoned the effort, and found a way to circumvent our corp proxy altogether. PhoneGap installed. :) – jlembke Jan 16 '14 at 21:26

I am using windows 10 and what worked for me where the following instructions

  1. npm config set strict-ssl false
  2. npm config set registry "http://registry.npmjs.org/"
  3. npm config set proxy "http://domain%5Cusername:password@server.url.com:port"

you might also want to set the http-proxy config as well just replace http with https in #3 for that.

Make sure of the following A. In case you are against a proxy and using AD then your user name should be in the format domain%5Cusername where %5C is for "\" otherwise it should be only "username"

B. In case your password contains special characters encode them like for @ symbol use %40 and likewise
