Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Hi - new to this, but I have the latest Apple MacBookPro code of Lion, Xcode, X11, System Utilities, Unix Utilities and I get the following when I try to type: 

MacBook-Pro-2:~ xxxx $ sudo port -v selfupdate 
Warning: No index(es) found! Have you synced your source indexes?
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
rsync: failed to connect to rsync.macports.org: Connection refused (61)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-42/rsync/clientserver.c(105) [receiver=2.6.9]
shell command "/usr/bin/rsync -rtzv --delete-after rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base.tar /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs" returned error 10
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error synchronizing MacPorts sources: shell command failed (see log for details)

I am assuming that rsync.macports.org refusal is the issue here? How do I fix and/or join this list to allow update with the .dmg installation? Do I need to perform a full tar ball install to allow this to work?

All I seek is putty actually....

Regards,
Robert

Please remember to use WikiFormatting and to preview before submitting.

Since your network apparently prohibits access to rsync servers, you won't be able to use selfupdate; you'll have to install MacPorts from dmg (or, if you prefer, from source) whenever you want to update MacPorts base to a new version. Further, you'll have to configure MacPorts to sync the portfiles using another protocol, such as http, and use "sudo port sync" whenever you want to update them. See Alternatives for syncing the ports tree without rsync in the how-to index.
