PHP 5 port: unable to verify file checksums

[danbettles@…]

I get the following error message when I try to install the new PHP 5 port.

daniel-bettless-macbook:~ danbettles$ sudo port install php5 +mysqlnd
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for php5
Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for php-5.3.0.tar.bz2

In the future, please refer to WikiFormatting before filing a ticket.

Anyway, run 'sudo port clean --all php5' and try again, you most likely just have a corrupt download.

Sorry for that.

I ran the "clean" command, as suggested, but I'm still experiencing the same problem. I've been using php5-devel, but I uninstalled that before attempting to install the production-ready version.

Is there something else I should try?

Many thanks

Can you run

sudo port clean --all php5
sudo port -d install php5 +mysqlnd

and if it still fails to checksum, post the information from where it fetched the bad file.

I'm afraid it failed again. It's failed when fetching from other locations.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

It's interesting you get anything at all from se.php.net, that name doesn't even resolve here...but I'm guessing that mirror needs to be removed.

[tobypeterson]

doesn't resolve for me either, pretty scary... anyway, r55531

Perhaps your DNS is one of those that resolves unknown hostnames to a search results page. This prevents MacPorts from responding correctly when a server it wants to try is down. So I recommend you turn this feature off in your DNS if possible, or use a different DNS, like ​OpenDNS, which, though by default it has such a search results page, can be configured not to.

r55531 only removed this mirror from the php5 port. I removed it from the php4 portfile and the php5extension portgroup in r55541. The php5-devel portfile was not affected.

It has been suggested to me by email that I should create a php mirror group so that the list of sites is not duplicated in three places. I agree I should do this.

The ​complete list of mirrors is in fact much greater than what we currently use.

• r55555: Added php mirror group, just copied from php5 port (not yet adding in all the others because of ​problems)
• r55557: Use php mirror group in php4 and php5 ports and php5extension portgroup

That seems to have done the trick. Thank you all.
