  Installing proxy items from a package

Problem: Proxy items are being installed even if you disable proxies from the database selector before installing the package.

Workaround: This behavior occurs only if you have configured the proxy definition item underneath /sitecore/system/Proxies.

There are a few workarounds for this issue:

  1. Disable proxies in web.config before installing the package:

    <database id="master" singleInstance="true" type="Sitecore.Data.Database, Sitecore.Kernel">

    ………………       

    <proxiesEnabled>false</proxiesEnabled>       

    ………………
          </database>

  2. Delete or move the proxy difinition item to another location before installing the package. When installation is done, restore item to its original location.
