Installing Aegir on CentOS - more detail
I've attached some more detailed instructions on how to install Aegir on CentOS.
The instructions may not be 100% perfect, but I'm due to install Aegir on CentOS again next week, which should given me an opportunity to fine-tune the instructions further.
I've had no trouble setting up a multi-webserver setup as well. If you're trying it yourself and get stuck, ping me on IRC (resonancedev in #aegir) or post a comment.

Install script for CentOS?
Hello,
would it be possible to use an install script to install Ægir on CentOS? I managed to install Ægir on Ubuntu without much problem ( considering my limited Ubuntu Linux skills) using the supplied install script, but i'm fairly sure it wont work on CentOs.
We have just had a new dedicated hosting server setup running CentOS which I've never used before, running apt-get update gave me a command not found error... obviously not the same flavour of Linux as Ubuntu, so i didn't progress past that point.
Any chance of someone supplying a CentOS install script or expanding on the CentOS install text file thats been posted with some really basic step by step instructions ?
Thanks
Hi, have a look at
Looking at the attachment, which was also posted here, that's exactly what I'd say this is. It's not a script, but it looks to be good documentation, step by step :)
Yeah, i guess i'm used to
Yeah, i guess i'm used to Ubuntu where they really dumb it down for you:
Type this: apt-get blah blah blah
I had quick look at the instructions but they were not familiar, i'm hesitant to do something that could screw up the new server.
Might have to do a vmware install of CentOS on my local machine and have a go before trying on the real thing.. ah well, I was hoping there was an easy way, shame the servers not Ubuntu, its a great OS : )
Hi Ryan: I am planning to
Hi Ryan:
I am planning to install aegir on centos tomorrow. Are steps mentioned in "Install Aegir on CentOS rp v0.1.txt" enough or are there any fine tuned version ?
The install instructions I
The install instructions I posted are fairly out of date now with the release of Aegir 0.4 alpha 3. I would recommend sticking with the instructions within the hostmaster profile directory, specifically the "hints" file specific to CentOS / RHL.
If you need some specific help beyond this, feel free to reach out to me directly.
That hints file...

Thanks for such a quick response
Dear Ryan:
Thanks for the quick response. I went through the hostmaster hints you provided. I also found an install script on hostmater http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/profiles/hostmaster/in...
Will that script work fine ?
Also which version will you suggest (ver 0.3 or 0.4 alpha) for a production instance?
If i fail during during installation process tomorrow, how can i contact you directly?
thanks in advance.
I can't vouch for the install
I can't vouch for the install script, but it does seem to support CentOS as indicated in the Hints file.
