MacPorts: install hangs/remains unusable - macports

I've been trying to install MacPorts on a new Mac Pro with a fresh, fully updated Yosemite OS. The installer hangs on 'Running package scripts'. So I tried to build it from source. That works, with the installer stating:
Congratulations, you have successfully installed the MacPorts system.
However, it seems unusable. When I do sudo port install apache2 I get the message:
Error: Port apache2 not found
Simply trying to do a 'self update' (as root):
sh-3.2# port -d selfupdate
DEBUG: MacPorts sources location: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs
---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
receiving file list ... done
base.tar
...and then nothing... I've waited for half an hour, but it won't go any further. I can't find any logs either.
Again: there's nothing special about my setup, it's out-of-the-box Yosemite, only updated through the App store and, of course, I've installed Xcode with command line utilities and formally accepted the license, as is required according to the MacPorts site.
I've also tried uninstalling it, using the instructions from the MacPorts site, and reinstalling. But it does not make a difference.
I've read quite a few forum posts, but I can't find any post relating a problem like this. I hope someone can shed some light on this.

The installer hangs running package scripts because the last statement in these package scripts is exactly this "sudo port selfupdate" that you've been running manually afterwards.
Because this step did never run, your MacPorts installation lacks knowledge about the apache2 port (which is exactly why the installer runs selfupdate to give you a full-featured installation).
Unfortunately Apple's infrastructure (rsync.macports.org) seems to have connectivity problems at the moment, which is causing problems for quite a few people. You can try using one of the mirrors as outlined at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Mirrors.

VOLTTRON install on rasbian buster

Can I get a tip for installing on rasp buster? Im hung up on the install directions to check the status of the rabbitMQ server. Traceback of bash console:
(volttron) pi#raspberry:~/Desktop/volttron $ echo 'export RABBITMQ_HOME=$HOME/rabbitmq_server/rabbitmq_server-3.7.7'|sudo tee --append ~/.bashrc
export RABBITMQ_HOME=$HOME/rabbitmq_server/rabbitmq_server-3.7.7
(volttron) pi#raspberry:~/Desktop/volttron $ source ~/.bashrc
pi#raspberry:~/Desktop/volttron $ RABBITMQ_HOME/sbin/rabbitmqctl status
bash: RABBITMQ_HOME/sbin/rabbitmqctl: No such file or directory
There are a few tracebacks earlier on the installation...
If it makes a difference or not here is the entire bash console process. The git gist link I just created the name install.py even though its just bash commands copied pasted per install directions...
`pi#raspberry:~/Desktop $ git clone https://github.com/VOLTTRON/volttron --branch releases/7.x`
It looks like there are a couple of different issues going on here:
The issue you quote above (RABBITMQ_HOME/sbin/rabbitmqctl: No such file or directory) is that your shell isn't finding the rabbitmqctl command. It looks like you added the RABBITMQ_HOME environment variable to your .bashrc, but used the string RABBITMQ_HOME instead of the variable expansion $RABBITMQ_HOME when you tried to run the command. Try running it as $RABBITMQ_HOME/sbin/rabbitmqctl status instead.
The rabbitmqctl status command will check the status of the rabbitmq application, but I don't think you've done anything to start it yet (that happens when you bootstrap the platform and/or start the platform configured to use the RMQ broker)
I think that the traces earlier in the installation process are problematic (appears to be the same error hit two different ways), but you just haven't run into them yet. I haven't seen any issues building gevent on the RPi 4 with buster (though it is pretty slow), but the ctypes error makes me wonder if there's an issue with the underlying c library it is trying to build on top of. I did notice that you're getting amd64 erlang packages, are you running Raspbian on an x86 processor? (if so this isn't a permutation we've tried and you may be hitting some package compatibility edge case we haven't seen)
One thing to try is to manually install cython into your virtualenvironment and then try running the bootstrap script again with the virtualenvironment activated. You could also try and pip install gevent==20.6.1 directly in that virtualenvironment (this is what the bootstrap script was doing at the failure point). VOLTTRON depends on gevent, so if that isn't installing the platform won't be able to run.

ckan local installation, 500 error on solr JSP support not configured

I am trying to install CKAN on my local computer using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
I followed the instructions for installing from source found here and I try to check if solr is running by visiting http://localhost:8983/solr/.
I can see that Jetty is running because when I visit http://localhost:8983 I see that it is up.
I added the jdk as follows:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64
I am getting a 500 error when i try to open the solr page:
HTTP ERROR 500
Problem accessing /solr/index.jsp. Reason:
JSP support not configured
Powered by Jetty://
Any ideas? Should I redo the whole thing from the start?
Edit/Update
I just couldn't do anything with this installation. The bigger problem was that installation files were meshed up! I tried to install tomcat/solr instead of jetty/solr and things went sour. So I just created a VM and did a fresh install there. For anyone interested I did a tomcat/solr installation following this and a CKAN installation following this (with out of course the solr instructions). Also, for some reason the CKAN installation has commented out the solr URL, so even if it is right, I had to delete the comment.
A fix has been documented by #mstantoncook here [2939] & [1651] How to solr-jetty JSP support
Note the last comment, sudo service jetty restart
It's a Jetty BUG on Ubuntu 14.04!
There is nothing wrong with Ckan itself.
Actually, there is a bug in the libjetty-extra-java package (version 6.1.26 and newer) in Ubuntu 14.04. The bug was introduced after Jetty (in Ubuntu) has changed it's dependences from libtomcat6-java to libtomcat7-java.
You can get more info about this bug in Ubuntu Launchpad: Bug #1508562 "Broken symlinks for JSP support in libjetty-extra-java version 6.1.26-1ubuntu1.1".
The bug is already fixed on Debian, and I'm hope it will be solved in Ubuntu 14.04 soon.
There are workarounds that may work for your case
I proposed some workarounds in this bug report, and since they can be useful for the Ckan users, I'll also replicate them here.
All of them consist on use both jetty and libtomcat7-java, but adding/replacing some classes (code ported from libtomcat6, in put in the jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar file) to the Jetty classpath.
I don't know if they have some problem. Use them at your own risk!
Workaround 1 - Install the fix package proposed by vshn
I found this workaround here: https://github.com/ckan/ckan/pull/2966
In short:
wget https://launchpad.net/~vshn/+archive/ubuntu/solr/+files/solr-jetty-jsp-fix_1.0.2_all.deb
dpkg -i solr-jetty-jsp-fix_1.0.2_all.deb
service jetty restart
This will install a JSP jar that works (the file will be named jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar, but it contains classes ported from libtomcat6).
Workaround 2 - Manually install the JSP jar
Download the same JAR file that the DEB package above would install.
wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jetty/+bug/1508562/+attachment/4785985/+files/jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar
Now, move it to a proper location inside the Jetty config dir. I did it this way:
mkdir /etc/jetty/extra-jars
mv jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar /etc/jetty/extra-jars
And add a line like this one in the Jetty start.config file:
echo "/etc/jetty/extra-jars/jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar" >> /etc/jetty/start.config
And:
service jetty restart
Correct solution
The correct solution is to wait for the Ubuntu Team solution. However, while waiting for this fix, you can use any of the previous workarounds (I prefer the last one).
I hope they help you!
Try this steps:
sudo mv jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar /usr/share/jetty/lib/.
change own:
sudo chown root:root /usr/share/jetty/lib/jsp-2.1-6.0.2.jar
finally restart jetty:
sudo service jetty restart
I followed this steps and now I can see localhost:8983/solr and localhost/solr/admin
In Ubuntu 14.04 this can be fixed with:
cd /tmp
wget https://launchpad.net/~vshn/+archive/ubuntu/solr/+files/solr-jetty-jsp-fix_1.0.2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i solr-jetty-jsp-fix_1.0.2_all.deb
sudo service jetty restart
Following http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.6/solr-setup.html#single-solr-instance
(this one a bit old, but worked perfect for me )
You will have to edit /etc/profile and add this line to the end such as this to the end (adjusting the path for your machine’s jdk install:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/ (or other version)
then
export JAVA_HOME
sudo service jetty start

How do I confirm I'm using the right chromedriver?

I came in to the office yesterday morning to find that my Capybara tests couldn't interact with Chrome. I'm seeing
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError: unknown error: unable to discover open pages
Googling around revealed that this was likely caused by an out-of-date chromedriver or selenium-webdriver, which sounded very plausible, since neither had been updated in a long time (I think chromedriver was at 2.2 and selenium-webdriver was at 2.35.1), and since Chrome auto-updated to 32.0.1700.77 on January 14, that seemed like good solid evidence to me.
So I've updated selenium-webdriver to 2.39.0. Figuring out what version of chromedriver I had been using actually turned out to be more difficult. I had a version of chromedriver sitting in my Downloads directory that I thought my code was referring to, but I couldn't find my Downloads directory in the PATH (I'm using OS X by the way). I tried replacing this file with version 2.8 from here, but it had no effect. I became skeptical that the version in my Downloads directory was the version that was being used in the first place, so I used brew to install it. brew info chromedriver now yields:
chromedriver: stable 2.8
http://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/
/usr/local/Cellar/chromedriver/2.8 (2 files, 21M) *
Built from source
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/commits/master/Library/Formula/chromedriver.rb
Looks good. My PATH contains /usr/local/bin, which has a chromedriver link to the location brew installed to. As far as I understand it, this should allow my automation to detect and launch the chromedriver.
Unfortunately, my issue is still unresolved. I remain unable to discover pages. Can anyone confirm that I've done what one normally does to set up the chromedriver?
Side Question: After downloading chromedriver 2.8 directly and also installing it with brew, I tried launching both the downloaded version and the brew version separately to confirm that either version could launch successfully. I'm certain they are both in fact version 2.8, but when I launch either one the console says:
Starting ChromeDriver (v2.2) on port 9515
Is that normal? I certainly wasn't expecting it to say v2.2, but there are no other versions apart from 2.8 installed by brew (so I doubt brew is accidentally using the older version), and when I run the file I downloaded directly, I'm quite sure it's version 2.8 from the Chromedriver website. Is this an oversight on their part, or does v2.2 refer to something else, unlikely though that may seem?
It would be tricky to verify the chrome driver version frequently when you download it with homebrew. I would suggest downloading the driver and maintaining it in a folder mapped in your PATH.
So that maintaining or identifying the driver version will be easy with the below steps:
Go to the folder where you have chromeDriver
Open command prompt pointing the folder
run: chromeDriver -v
ChromeDriver is at version 2.16 now. I would recommend manually updating your driver instead of updating with whatever older version that homebrew wants to update you to.
You can use command line: pip freeze to list down all packages you have installed with their version.
Or you also can use pip show <package name> to check the details of the package, which also includes package version.

for checking your chrome driver version.
Now it's time to check the latest release version. So click here latest release version

Apache2 doesn't work on my new Mac Snow Leopard installation (Mac OS X 10.6.4)

I've installed snow leopard on the old tiger and I tried to run apache2 by clicking system preferences->sharing->web sharing. It seems to run but if I try to access http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 or http://192.168.1.6/ (my ip on my network) it doesn't work. I don't know where is the log file (no files on /private/var/log/apache2/). I've seen that the port in /etc/httpd.conf is 80. But I cannot see the process on Activity Monitoring panel: there is not any httpd or apache process running...
This may not be the answer you are looking for, but MAMP seems to run relatively well for me.
You can also try
sudo apachectl start
from the command line.
I think you will find a detailed answer to your question at this URL:
http://shapeshed.com/journal/setting_up_local_websites_on_snow_leopard/
The "trick" is this line, ... which stops and then restarts apache,
sudo apachectl restart
This forces apache2 to read any changes you've made to config files.
Also, check to make sure you are using the right config file.
Under Mac OS X 10.6.4, my config files seem to be here:
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Logs files are found here:
/var/log/apache2/access_log
This should get you up and running, ... but I would also recommend looking into using MAMP, which is a pre-packaged Mac+Apache2+MySQL+PHP5 stack that you can get up and running very quickly.
