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The install instructions I posted are fairly out of date now with the release of Aegir 0.4 alpha 3.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.

Use the latest version, always. Same applies to drush. If you need to contact me directly, use the contact form for my account.

Ok..thanks for the info. Let me try out tomorrow. If I face any issue, i will contact you directly.

The current alpha release for 0.4 is 0.4-alpha6. If you really want to use an older version (I wouldn't personally recommend it), make sure you pair it with the correct version of Drush and the provisioning back-end.
I would recommend using the latest release, though.
