<p>Hi everyone!</p>
<p>I cannot figure out what and how happened to cause this issue but
today, out of the perceived blue, I found that my local
nginx/mysql servers installed via macports have stopped working. I
have a feeling this may be related to the user/group ownership of
the files in question.</p>
<p>I tried uninstalling Nginx then re-installing it and received the
following error:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>Error: Unable to execute port: Could not open file:
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/www/nginx/Portfile</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>On a whim, I tried doing the same for another port and received
the same message:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>Error: Unable to execute port: Could not open file:
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/php/php-timezonedb/Portfile</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I moved into the directory,
"/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports"
and checked the ownership of the files in it and they are set to:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>root:rvm</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>When viewing the ownership of macport files in parent
directories, I see that they are set to:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>root:admin</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>This inconsistency makes me feel that somehow ownership has
changed and caused these issues.</p>
<p>I'd greatly appreciate some assistance with working out this
matter.</p>
<p>Many thanks!<br>
