Socket timeout occurred while listening for results

When running 
  
sfdx force:org:create -s -f config/project-scratch-def.json -a GeoAppScratch

I am getting: 
ERROR running force:org:create:  Socket timeout occurred while listening for results.

Try this:
You may consider increasing the --wait parameter value to increase timeout.
I get the error a few seconds after I run the command and changing the wait parameter does not help. Could the fact that I am behind proxy be the issue? I have set it up as per following:  https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_setup.meta/sfdx_setup/sfdx_setup_install_cli_firewall.htm? search_text=proxy and I am able to use such commands as sfdx update or sfdx:force:org:open etc.

Try creating "http_proxy" and "https_proxy" environment variables, this fixed the issue for me.

I got the same error message from Force.com IDE 2. But the scartch org is actually created in spite of the message.

Thanks, Ciaran. It works for me too.

Hi Ciaran,

Do you mean something different than this?

npm config set https-proxy https://username:pwd@proxy.company.com:8080
npm config set proxy https://username:pwd@proxy.company.com:8080
npm config set sslVerify false
npm config set strict-ssl false
Because this didn't help much.

Hi Kamil,

Create those two (http_proxy and https_proxy) as OS environment variables, in addition to the npm configuration.

Hi,

I got the same issue with setting https_proxy and http_proxy environment variables behind a firewall.

Have a look at the answer I marked, it worked for me. I also think that the latest version of SFDX has this thing sorted out.

I had the same issue when I did it for the first time but later I tried the same command the second time it was a success.
