Google Webservice sample fails - "Service call exception"

[Former Member]

I compiled the Best Practices - Google Search Functionality sample and deployed it to our new server. I started the application and after I entered a search term, it gave me the following error:

Service call exception; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException: proxy

I'm stuck. Help, anyone?

Hi,

please visit on your portal (having the System Administrator role assigned to your user) System Administration->System Configuration->Service Configuration->Applications->com.sap.portal.ivs.httpservice->Services->Proxy (double click on proxy).

Either maintain proxy settings, or switch it off by editing field

HTTP - Enable Proxy setting

setting it to

FALSE

Regards,
