Use Octopus platform as part of a custom makefile?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to base a custom makefile off of, for instance, a BOA pressflow platform? Since Omega has spiced up these platforms with extra useful modules etc, I would want to have my custom platform always pull from the latest BOA pressflow BEFORE adding any of my custom stuff. Anyone done this? thanks!

Which Linux flavour to choose?

Hi,

Found VPS provider for aegir instalation (up to 15 D6-D7 sites, 1/2 of them corporate brochure type), it will be openVZ with guaranteed 2048Mb RAM, mysql+php+apc+apache+smtp, and other basic services, maybe Apache Solr. Memcahed/Nginx/Varnish is a possibility if performance benefits over simple Boost module+APC are worth pain having another service on same vps.

Which linux to choose from this list:

CentOS 4
CentOS 5
CentOS 6
Debian 4
Debian 5
Debian 6
Fedora 14
Fedora 15
openSUSE 11.3
openSUSE 11.4
Ubuntu 10.04

introduce a high performance free hosting (for drupal)--sae---a GAE like China project , i just finished deploy drupal 6 there

ok , example first to prove that i am telling the truth : http://trackself.sinaapp.com/ just feel its speed!

[background:]
1.SAE: sina app engine , belong to sina.com (China), it's a service like google app engine ,but provide PHP hosting and mysql hosting and more! well , i think it's better than GAE, because i only know php but not python/java. It declare itself cloud service. And better than GAE, it use SVN.
2.Since it offer php and mysql hosting , drupal can be hosted. But a little hack to install.php , nothing more hack

Why does drupal 7 require BOA to work?

I try Baracuda and Octopus because I have trouble installing drupal 7 at the current version of aegir (1.2)
What does octopus solve to make it work? Should this not also be possible without it?

Clone and verify hang. anyway to debug?

I have created a site based on open atrium.
i can create an openatrium site based on the distribution through aegir
I add and configure modules to the created site.

When I clone the site,
1. backup created
2. vhost file created
3. database is created
4. i can access the site through the url

but the clone task never terminates
I also do not get a site entry in aegir
Is there a way to debug this? I don't get any entries from the backend provision anywhere? Is there a way that error messages can be written to the clone log once the provision-verify script is written?

LINODE + Omega8... seems to have frozen

I installed omega8 aegir on linode about two weeks ago. Installation went great, much better than the other hosting companies I have tried. Great platform. I am able to setup new sites with little trouble.

But I have noticed some issues.
1... Sometimes a "create site" task will not complete and time out. But I resubmit the task and eventually the entire task will finish. I suspect adding extra hosting resources would resolve this issue.

2... This is a big issue. I had tried to add 3 sites, all using subdomains of a primary domain.
dom1.domain.com - OPENPublish

Preparing remote Ubuntu Aegir Servers

I came across two problems setting up the passwordless ssh between the Aegir servers as I followed (rather too blindly, perhaps) the "Remote Servers" section of the Aegir INSTALL.txt.
Ubuntu 10.4 LTS was on the local (testing) machine; 8.04.4 LTS on the remote (production) server.
Here are solutions / workarounds:

Aegir Alpha15. Create Site: When SSL is selected, all platforms removed

Hello all:

Not sure if this is a bug or a misconfiguration, though it appears to be the first one to me.

I upgraded to Alpha15, which went fantastically well. Felt like a Barracuda experience.

Testing around I noticed the following two-fold issue:

When creating a site (either in local or remote server) and the "SSL" option is selected -Enabled or Required- all the installation profiles and available platforms disappear and get replaced with a "No Valid Choices". Unselecting "SSL" does not revert back and so I must click "Create Site" again.

Aegir 0.4-alpha15 released

Aegir 0.4 Alpha15 released

The Aegir project is pleased to announce our 0.4 alpha 15 release. This release is primarily a bug fix release, which aims to tie off a huge amount of outstanding bugs and other tasks.

We did aim to release beta1 but decided that there were a few critical bugs still lingering that we wouldn't want to overshadow in such a momentous release. Instead we've chosen to push out one last alpha before (finally) heading out into beta and RC stages of the 0.4 cycle.

Aegir cron queue not running. How to fix?

Hi,

Aegir task cron runs as expected.

But individual site crons are not running.

I looked at my setup under hosting >queues

while my takss queue runs as expected my cron queue has not run for several weeks.
How can I force this to happen?

su - aegir
crontab -e

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/aegir/drush/drush.php --php=/usr/bin/php '@hostmaster' hosting-dispatch

I tried per troubleshooting instructions to reset cron:

Help with i18n multilingual variables in global.inc

Since settings.php gets overwritten during migrations or verifications I want to put the i18n variables into global.inc, but only apply them if i18n is enabled.

I've put the following code into global.inc:

if (module_exists('i18n')) {
    $conf['i18n_variables'] = array(
    'site_name',
'site_slogan',
   'site_mission',
  );
}

As soon as I save the change, though, I get this WSOD error on all sites:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function module_exists() in /var/aegir/config/includes/global.inc on line 23

Any idea why that is?

Can't execute certain commands on sites/platforms anymore

Hello all,

I had a hard time to upgrade a site from 5.7 to 5.23 to 6.15 to 6.19 now.
I did this outside of Aegir, but tried it several times, to do it within Aegir.
Now it seems as if I have messed up my Aegir installation somehow :(

I have the site which I don't want to have anymore, so I click on delete and get:
The external command could not be executed due to an application error.

Then I want to disable / delte the platform and get:
The external command could not be executed due to an application error.

Host not found after Linode scriptstack install

Just to report, I've not been able to bring up aegir from the from the Linode stackscript (dmp1ce). After running the stackscript, booting the server, and receiving the welcome email:
"You can now login to aegir.ipublishingplatform.com by clicking on this link or copying it into your browser:"

I see the error, "Firefox can't find the server at aegir.ipublishingplatform.com."
