Zoo (7) Service won't start

Zoo 7 service does not start. Apparently, it tries to establish an Internet connection to Amazon AWS during the startup process. But the server does not have direct Internet access. The proxy settings of the server seem to be ignored.

Any Ideas?

I know its been a bit since your post but I just ran into the same issue.

You will need to add the proxy information into the ZooAdmin.Wpf.exe.config file. This is a standard .Net application so you add the default proxy element which is a standard part of a config file.

Here is what ours looks like with generic proxy information shown.
