Installing Apache2 fails due to unfetchable files
by Simon Wheatley 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hi, I'm trying to install Apache2, and it is failing with the following error: > ---> Attempting to fetch db-4.4.20.tar.gz from > http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/db44 > Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: fetch failed Browsing to this location reveals that there is indeed nothing there. I have run port selfupdate, and port sync (for good luck rather than actual use), and believe I am up to date with everything. Any suggestions please? Thanks, S

MacPorts dmg installer hangs up, does not finish ?
by Bill Hernandez 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

I am running OS X 10.5.2 on an iMacG5 pentium machine. I just downloaded MacPorts-1.6.0.pkg and tried to install it several times, but it always hangs up with the progress indicator about 3/4 of the way through, and never finishes. I opened the /opt folder and there were a few items in it. "port" was actually there, so I tried using the terminal instead and tried "sudo port -v selfupdate" left it alone for a while but nothing happened, so I finally hit CTRL-C and deleted the /op directory. Any ideas ? Bill Hernandez ms(a)mac-specialist.com

urxvt: installing files outside common directory structure
by Joerg van den Hoff 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

during upgrade of `rxvt-unicode' I've got the warning "rxvt-unicode requests to install files outside the common directory structure!" simple question: and where might that be?? I need to know in order to get the mirroring of the ports tree from desktop to labtop machine via `rsync' right (much faster than installing everything twice...). I propose to modify the above warning and explicitly state (IN CAPS) what files are installed where outside `/opt/local'. thanks joerg ps: don't laught at the Cc address ...

Bill and Ryan, Thanks to your prodding questions, I got the rsync problem fixed, as well as another one (no FTP) that has bugged me for months. The problem in my case turned out to be the firewall in my GT-701 ActionTec DSL modem. I called up ActionTec Support in near-desperation just to see if they might have any ideas, and described the problems I'd been having. The response was that those were exactly the problems I'd get with the fire- wall turned on, and that I should turn it off completely. There were four settings, High, Medium, Low, and Off, and mine had been set to High. He explained that I was still protected from Internet mischief by the SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection). I'd never heard of SPI before, but looked it up and found a Wiki explanation about it being a recent type of fire- wall that checks to make sure that incoming packets really do belong in the accepted incoming stream. Ones that don't are rejected. So I turned the ActionTec firewall off, and Bingo!, the MacPorts install went to completion. Even more cheering for me was that now FTP worked on the Mac - tho it has been working fine all along from the Parallels Vir- tual Machine running eComStation 1.2. I certainly don't understand the mechanics of all this, but am delighted that things now work. I hope these observations are helpful to others as well. Thanks much for directing me to the relevant issue. - Dushan ---------------------- >On Mar 11, 2008, at 2:58 AM, Dushan Mitrovich wrote: >> I had downloaded the MacPorts-1.6.0.dmg file but failed trying to >> install it on my Mac Pro system (4 processors), apparently because >> 'rsync' failed. >> >> This appears to be the same problem that Bill Hernandez wrote about >> earlier, but I didn't see any solution offered.

'rsync' failure trying to install MacPorts 1.6.0

I had downloaded the MacPorts-1.6.0.dmg file but failed trying to install it on my Mac Pro system (4 processors), apparently because 'rsync' failed.

Installation issues, Leopard Quad G5, 1.6.0 DMG
by Alex Zavatone 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hi all. I can't get past line 1 of the initial install instructions after installing the 1.6.0 MacPorts DMG. Platform: Quad G5, 2G Ram, OS 10.5.2, Xcode 3.1, X11 2.1.1 When I enter the following into the terminal... sudo port -d selfupdate I get the following error message: sudo: port: command not found port is in the root:opt:local:bin directory Is there some variable in some file that the installer missed? Also, some of the docs say to use -d, others say -v. A little inconsistency there. Thanks in advance, - Alex Zavatone

Apache Questions [was PHP Problems]
by Thomas Condon 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Folks, I got some great suggestions a while back about what may be wrong with my PHP5 port and why it wasn't running. However, I still can't make it work. I think the problem may be in Apache itself - my setup, not the port - because when I try to open an html file on my machine using: http://localhost it comes back with: ********************* Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost. * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. ********************* Likewise, if I use my local network IP: http://10.0.0.2 it still can't connect. If I open the files directly (via Finder) with Firefox they work fine, but with: file::://opt/local/apache2/htdocs/index.html as the URL, so I know it isn't going through Apache for that. Running the port installed command searching for apache comes up with: Mac-The-Knife:/opt/local/apache2/htdocs Captain$ port installed | grep apache2 apache2 @2.2.8_0 (active) php5 @5.2.5_1+apache2+macosx+mysql5 (active) If I read this correctly it means that Apache2 should be running. I would appreciate any help I can get on this problem. In A Chord, Tom Condon Bass, Agate Passage Quartet Bass & Proud Member, Kitsap Chordsmen Dir. Music Education, Evergreen District, BHS
