BOA

I am moving a set of sites over to one of my BOA servers from an old school server and our organization happens to have a whole bunch of redirects set up in apache. I’ve read the HINTS documentation and done research and have now become familiar with the idea of setting up the nginx_vhost_include.conf file and assigning locations.

My big question is about using domain specific locations as we may include other sites that have other domains on this server. In the Hints documentation, it indicates that IF statements should be used.

sed: can't read /var/backups/barracuda.sh.cnf: No such file or directory
Rebooted server to no avail.
What is meaning?

Hey there BOA users.

I'm looking for a smarter sysadmin than myself to help me troubleshoot a load increase on my BOA box.

I'm running on Linode(Xen) and the system is locked down as best I know how, no ssh root login, no clear passwords, only key based and everything has been running great for years.

In the past few weeks, I've had a spike in cpu use and io. I don't think this is traffic related, but I guess I need to learn a bit more about troubleshooting to find out the cause of things.

Hi all,

After the Drupalgeddon episode many blog posts emphasise the importance of Version Control for sites. Looking at https://omega8.cc/git-or-platforms-based-workflow-in-aegir-251 I think that for a BOA user, version control means that the git repo needs only my make file and my theme - have I got that right?

Thanks...

This seems to be new since my upgrade to BOA 2.3.5. I have a couple of custom platforms created awhile ago per https://omega8.cc/how-to-add-custom-platform-properly-140. Prior to migrating I run a successful verify on a site, then clone that site within the same platform to stage.site.com. During the clone process I now get the "could not find version of ...(any in sites/all/modules) module" warnings, but the clone generates successfully and verifies okay.

When the platform was created using drush make and logged in as o1.ftp the permissions were set:
; chmod 775 ~/static/newplatform

Hi,

I am running two BOA hosting systems on Linode.com, and they both have same problems for the last many versions I have installed since frequent upgrades have been made available.

Problem:

• Site installs never get completed and they get stuck mostly at following stage:
  WD install: Installing from database import.
  (I am attaching log in a separate file here.)

• When I try to click view button and see the progress of any task, many time I see my
  http://o1.server.myBOAhosting.com put offline and it shows the following:

PRESSFLOW

Update: Never mind. I was being stupid. Hate when that happens....

In the past I've logged in as o1.ftp and run 'drush make my-makefile ~/static/foo-bar' per https://omega8.cc/how-to-add-custom-platform-properly-140. This no longer works. I get error, "This drush command cannot be run in /home/o1.ftp
Please cd to the valid sites/foo.com directory first." Never saw that before, but okay, I mkdir the new dir go to it and run drush make. No luck.

What's changed?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have a link field which contains links for MP3 files hosted elsewhere and I want the files to be downloaded by simply clicking on the field rather than doing right click and "save link as".

This is mentioned here http://blog.waterworld.com.hk/post/nginx-pdf-force-download re Nginx. Are there any BOA considerations here or is this just an Nginx issue?

Thanks...

Hi all,

Taking omega8.cc as an example of a BOA site if I click on the logo the path is https://omega8.cc/sites/omega8.cc/files/bigpicture_logo.png

Is this path written to the database and if so does this mean that images will fail to load if the site is copied to another platform ie where the site "omega8.cc" does not exist (and so the path is broken)?

This url https://omega8.cc/files/bigpicture_logo.png also works so why does the logo use https://omega8.cc/sites/omega8.cc/files/bigpicture_logo.png rather than https://omega8.cc/files/bigpicture_logo.png ?
