I could download wordpress and continue manually, though that of course defeats the whole point of macports.

Also, I wonder if the "no route to host" is the root of the hanging problem.

I'm trying to install wordpress. After installing all
the dependencies, it hangs right here:
--->  Fetching wordpress
--->  Attempting to fetch wordpress-2.5.1.tar.gz from
ftp://ftp.stu.edu.tw/pub/wordpress/

I've waited for it to timeout, killed it and tried
again, but it always ends up in the same place. There
doesn't seem to be anything obvious in the docs about
imposing a timeout, or forcing it to use a specific mirror.





I think the "root of the hanging problem" is the "You will be disconnected after 5 mins of inactivity." You dont say which version you tried to download manually, but the current version is 2.6.3 --- the port file was trying to ftp 2.5.1 which may no longer be allowed to download. Try editing the port file
sudo port edit wordpress
and change the version number in the mastersite line to 2.6.3

Then try to install. If that works, then write up a bug in traq and attach your new portfile, and make note here that you have done that. Someone will then commit it for you.

Wordpress has no maintainer -- unless you'd like to volunter.  ;)
