Error: org.macports.checksum for port php56-apache2handler returned: php-5.6.18.tar.xz does not exist in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/php5

I think this issue is very similar to this (3 years ago and later solved): #39746

3 years ago where the mirror/repo is not accessible too: ​http://lil.fr.packages.macports.org/php56-apache2handler

I don't know why the "file does not exist in directory" error sometimes occurs, but the workaround is to clean the affect port and try again, which is the first thing we require you to do in the ​ticket filing instructions.

Ah, I see, your second error message shows the real problems:

1. You are using a bad DNS server.
2. One of the PHP mirrors has gone offline.

You can fix (1) by telling your DNS provider to fix their DNS server, or by using a different DNS server. I will fix (2) by updating the list of PHP mirrors MacPorts uses.

Thank you Ryan, I have changed network DNS settings to Google DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and it works.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Google DNS is what I use too and I'm pretty happy with it.

Fixed the list of php mirrors in r145786.
