    <p>Adjust the paths to suit your installation, of course.  Notice that
    fossil runs as root.  This is not required - you can run it as an
    unprivileged user.  But it is more secure to run fossil as root.
    When you do run fossil as root, it automatically puts itself in a
    chroot jail in the same directory as the repository, then drops
    root privileges prior to reading any information from the request.</p>

</blockquote><a name="proxy"></a><h2>HTTP Proxies</h2><blockquote>

    <p>If you are behind a restrictive firewall that requires you to use
    an HTTP proxy to reach the internet, then you can configure the proxy
    in one of two ways.  You can tell fossil about your proxy like this:<p>

    <blockquote>
    <b>fossil setting proxy </b><i>Proxy-URL</i>
    </blockquote>

    <p>Or, you can set the "<b>http_proxy</b>" environment variable:</p>

    <blockquote>
    <b>export http_proxy=</b><i>Proxy-URL</i>
    </blockquote>

    <p>To stop using the proxy, do:</p>

    <blockquote>
    <b>fossil setting proxy off</b>
    </blockquote>

    <p>Or unset the environment variable.  The fossil setting for the
    HTTP proxy takes precedence over the environment variable.</p>
