How to setup New Relic on a DO Ubuntu (NR is asking for a https proxy)

Thanks for replying Bobby and Brian, i think i failed to mention the DO is managed by Spinupwp. Spinup has not been able to give me any pointers so far.

I revisited this issue, hoping i was wrong, but this is the message when installing the NR php client. Logged in as root via ssh.

! Connecting to New Relic Platform… Failed

We encountered an issue during the installation: there was an error connecting to New Relic platform. This is an indication that your firewall or proxy settings do not allow outbound traffic to the New Relic platform. To configure the use of an HTTP proxy, use the HTTP_PROXY and/or HTTPS_PROXY environment variables.

Hello,

As already mentioned HTTP proxy should not be needed. As you are planning to monitor a WordPress website, I believe that you just need to install the New Relic PHP agent.

Are you installing another agent?

Best,

Bobby

A proxy isn’t required, you can leave it blank, unless you have egress filters enabled. The new relic agent just connects to the new relic API automatically.

What installer are you using?
