@Slumber86 any chance you are behind a proxy?

[Slumber86]

Yes I'm behind a proxy, but I've configured it correctly seems. Normally cordova works, and so npm. And, the zips with seed are downloaded correctly. Maybe there is a problem of parameters passing from ionic-cli to cordova plugin manager?.

[mlynch]

Okay, I think it's definitely related to that, which is good as I finally have an idea why this is failing for some people :)

Stay tuned, I'll get this fixed

Fixed! Try adding PROXY ahead of the command:

$ PROXY=http://myproxy.com:8081 ionic start myApp

Seems that this is not working for me on Windows 7 x64, but with the PROXY env set, the error message change slightly. From this:

After a bit of research, seems that it's and invalid HTTPS certificate, in fact the err parameter in the request callback has the following message:

https [Error: UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE]

Any workaround?

[gimmi]

Given that my problem is not related to this issue, I've create another issue here: #30

[rakia]

Hi gimmi, hi Slumber86,
I have started the "node.js command prompt" on windows 8, then run the commands "SET NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0" & "SET PROXY=http://ggherardi:secret@proxy.yyy.it:8090"
After that "ionic start myApp tabs" was not working, I receivied:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'statusCode' of undefined.

Was my PROXY setting wrong? what are the following parameters:

• ggherardi:secret
• proxy.yyy.it:8090
• http://myproxy.com:8081

what must they be in my case?

thx

[rakia]

trying to find my proxy, I received :
No proxies were detected.

[vincesp]

Are there any hints what the syntax would be to use NTLM authentication (domain, username, password) for the proxy?
set PROXY=http://domain\username:password@server:port
doesn't seem to work

[widyakumara]

@mlynch Can you add a note about that proxy thingy on Ionic's Getting Started page? I'm sure many will appreciate

[saamorim]

Hi, using set proxy=http://server:port before running the ionic cli worked
