I download the latest version of Aegir system (0.4-alpha13) and Provision (0.4-alpha13)..
I create user "aegir" and add to group "www-data" and home folder is "/var/aegir". I extract file install.sh.txt from provision-0.4-alpha13.tgz to /var/aegir.
I change to user "aegir" and run the install file:
su -s /bin/bash - aegir
sh install.sh
The setup is run OK. But at the end of task, I get the error. Please give me solution to fix this error.
This is the setup:
aegir@ubuntu:~$ sh install.sh

Which area do need help with? Can you say what issues you have experienced?
Well, in my case...
Hi, I'll give my own comments until tqthong replies.
On my MacOSX 10.5 PPC, running MacPorts *AMP, I had to patch the install script to use a shorter quoted password without spaces:
$ cat /var/aegir/patches/jdb-1.patch
--- install.sh.txt 2010-09-15 01:48:21.000000000 +0200

-AEGIR_DB_PASS=
echo $RANDOM:\date`:$AEGIR_HOST | openssl md5`+AEGIR_DB_PASS='george'
msg "Aegir will now generate a mysql super user password for you: "
cat <<EOF
Without this patch, I get mysterious errors indicating a database connection failure down in Drush-land, although the sh-wrapper connection succeeds to create an aegir_root account. This also happens if the password is single-quoted but still contains a space.

Drush was not able to start (bootstrap) the Drupal database. [error]
Hint: This error often occurs when Drush is trying to bootstrap a site that has not been
installed or does not have a configured database.
Drush was attempting to connect to :
Drupal version : 6.19
Also interestingly, I did not observe this error when using the XAMPP stack, but in that case, browsing to the new Aegir page causes both FireFox & Safari to download the php files instead of having them interpreted by Apache. (Prior to Aegir installation, XAMPP handles phpMyAdmin normally. Something amiss in httpd.conf?)
Despite these "interests" and the small fix needed, my elapsed time has been several days of screwing around and unwrapping this install script. (The downloaded hint files are out-of-date, too.) This is not a good experience for Drupal users new to Aegir.
So my suggestion is to please "unwrap" this install script into smaller pieces, and provide better error messages which show the failing commands. Parameterizing the DB and HTTPD connection would be a great help too, as well as performing all downloads before doing any configuration actions.
Unfortunately I don't have the same Debian-assumed environment as you guys, and I suggest that relying only on this script to simplify installation has the opposite effect - especially if new users must first reverse-engineer it to get started.
Fixes to above
1)
Solved XAMPP problem with browser downloading php files. The XAMPP start/stop scripts define PHP5, but this is not present when starting/stopping with 'sudo apachectl' ala Aegir. To fix this, patch httpd-xampp.conf to load PHP module unconditionally. This might be worth a mention in the Readme. More details here: http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=41964
2)
Tracked down MacPorts password problem. This environment has a newer openssl which gives the breaking (stdin):
$ /opt/local/bin/openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.0a 1 Jun 2010
$ echo test | /opt/local/bin/openssl md5
(stdin)= d8e8fca2dc0f896fd7cb4cb0031ba249
$ /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009
$ echo test | /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/openssl md5
d8e8fca2dc0f896fd7cb4cb0031ba249
This script update removes that spurious text, if present:
AEGIR_DB_PASS=echo $RANDOM:\date`:$AEGIR_HOST | openssl md5 | sed -e 's/(stdin)= //;'`3)
Interested in moving to a GNU-like configuration system? Eg, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_build_system where installation parameters & file paths are determined upfront, before use. Then it's easier to identify incompatible things, and we get a roadmap for better installation parameterization.

Hi,
I think I recall having the same problem as yourself. Related to a issue with my mail setup.
This is the clue:

Theres a paragraph about it in the install.txt
