Hi guys,

I have been getting the following errors when accessing the admin page  
which i think is related to proxy as my office is behide a proxy server.  
when i disabled the rss feed codes on tickets\_controller.rb, it managed  
show the admin login page. So how do I set the proxy server? I looked at  
net/http.rb but to no avail to how it works ☹

Thks in advance guys!  
any help is greatly appreciated!

Might be a windows issue. Google for “ruby rails bad file descriptor”.
