Hey all,
I've been trying to install Apache and PHP. With the installation of
apache, the install has been failing when the system tries to download
net-www/apache-2.0.55-r1. After trying in vain to connect to several
servers the system finally does succeed when connecting to:
get-software.techbuyer.com <http://get-software.techbuyer.com> ...
208.254.3.166 <http://208.254.3.166>
The download begins, but very little of the software is downloaded
before I get the message:
!!! Couldn't download httpd-2.0.55.tar.bz2. Aborting.
For PHP, the system connects to us2.php.net:80
<http://us2.php.net:80>, downloads the package, then reports:
!!! Couldn't download php-4.4.0.tar.bz2 . Aborting.
I tried to install these pieces of software yesterday and today with
the same result. I've installed several other packages including
ctypes, wxPython, emacs, and a few others, so I don't think there's
anything wrong with portage. Has anyone else run into this problem?
Sounds to me like you are likely going through a proxy server. It could
be explicitly set in your make.conf, or perhaps it is a tranparent proxy
server further along in your route to the Internet.
