problem install cloudera manager 5.5 via https_proxy/http_proxy

[#1]

Hi all,

i'm setting up for some testing a six nodes Cluster Cloudera 5.5 (it is my third cloudera test cluster installation, i read the documentation and the internet).

If i run the cloudera-manager-installer-bin  from "http://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/installer/latest/cloudera-manager-installer.bin" i find installed the version 

"---> Package cloudera-manager-server.x86_64 0:5.5.2-1.cm552.p0.16.el7 will be installed"

After that the cloudera manager 5.5.2 start but can't find any CDH to install (as i know last available version is 5.5.1).

In another test environment I find that the "problem" is the "https_proxy/http_proxy" settings, if i direct connect (not via proxy) to the internet all goes well and the software install the regular version cloudera manager 5.5.1.

But unfortunately i have to use our proxy, any suggestion why i see this different behavior ?

Our SysAdmin said that the proxy is "transparent", but for the Cloudera Manager probably not transparent enough. 

Thanks,

Glauco

some more testing, same environment for all (centos 7.1), the only difference is the HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY set or not :

TEST 1 : no http_proxy (default installer)

curl -O http://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/installer/latest/cloudera-manager-installer.bin

================================================================================
Package Arch Version Repository Size
================================================================================

Installing:
cloudera-manager-server x86_64 5.5.1-1.cm551.p0.8.el7 cloudera-manager 8.2 k
Installing for dependencies:
cloudera-manager-daemons x86_64 5.5.1-1.cm551.p0.8.el7 cloudera-manager 456 M

TEST 2 : no http_proxy (specific installer)

curl -O http://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/installer/5.5.0/cloudera-manager-installer.bin

same output of TEST 1

TEST 3 : with http_proxy (default installer)

curl -O http://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/installer/latest/cloudera-manager-installer.bin

================================================================================
Package Arch Version Repository Size
================================================================================

Installing:
cloudera-manager-server x86_64 5.5.2-1.cm552.p0.16.el7 cloudera-manager 8.2 k

curl -O http://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/installer/5.5.0/cloudera-manager-installer.bin

same output of TEST 3

and the error during install : "no parcels found from the configured repositories" (cloudera manager 5.5.2).

it was a problem related to the cache of the proxy.
