BOA

As you can see below from my March 31 post, my last attempt to upgrade failed. Thanks to charos and geoff for their suggestions. Maybe it was too late but running xdragon didn't help and my octopus name is still the default.

Anyway, I restored the entire Linode from backup so am still running BOA 2.1.3 which is screaming for updates. Obviously I'm hesitant to upgrade BOA beyond 2.1 given my experience but I'm confused by this statement:

I have created a BOA (stable local max) installation in Debian 7.5 running in Vmware

username/password
- root/password
- user/password
- o1.ftp/Y7GEJjv2

how to use:
- get a Vmware app, (player, workstation, etc)
- download the files, see bellow for links
- open file .ovf
- boot up

log as root and figure you IP by running ifconfig
$ ifconfig

write your IP you'll need that later

In your host computer modify your hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc)
add the IP of the machine with the domains

I logged in as root, ran

cd;wget -q -U iCab http://files.aegir.cc/BOA.sh.txt;bash BOA.sh.txt

barracuda up-stable

First try said barracuda not found. I repeated the process and install seemed normally.

To test I tried to create a Totem site. Install remains perpetually in the queue. View shows: "The queue is currently run every 5 sec, was last run 4 hours ago"

I've never had a problem with an upgrade before. Suggestions?

Thanks

This is a bit off topic, but needed to ask somewhere. Where would be a good starting point in looking for someone to build a module/add functionality to BOA for a Meme generator? Something similiar to this:

Hello,
I need help configuring permissions for Vagrant user. After running BOA script, some of the Vagrant commands (i.e. rsync, halt, etc.) become unavailable because Vagrant can't read the distro info. It happens because Vagrant loses access to /bin/cat and other commands. Is there a way to retain default permissions for vagrant user?

I want to symlink files directory as omega8cc recommends.
I have a test site at /data/disk/o1/platforms/002/drupal-7.27.1-dev.
That is what I see in filezilla and it works, because that is where I upload modules, libraries and themes, in the /all directory.
I want to move the site's files directory to static/files/mytestsite/files, and symlink back from there.
I ssh as root to one of my server's IPs and I can navigate up to platforms, here is where the problem starts because:

web01:/data/disk/o1/platforms# ls -al
total 8.0K
drwx--x--x 2 o1 users 4.0K Jan 29 10:23 ./

I recently installed latest BOA with the standard procedure of getting BOA.sh.txt via wget and then "barracuda up-stable".
I don't see how to add latest Drupal 7.27, I only have 7.24, I was expecting latest Drupal on latest BOA release.
I am confused on how to add platform, I already downloaded core, but don't know how to use make file.
Sorry for asking basic questions.

I am having some issues with the CRON not running for my octopus sites since upgrading to 2.2.2. I was wondering is anyone else is having the same issue.

I have even created a completely new install on a blank server and am getting the same problems.

If I su as the octopus user and try and run hosting-dispatch directly, it says that the command is unknown. However, it appears in the list of available drush functions.

Does anyone have any ideas to test this out to see what I have done wrong or determine if it is actually and issue and needs to be put on the issue queue?

Hi all,

It seems that "Enable access log" at /admin/config/system/statistics on the original URL or dev alias does not work ie I check the box but after hitting "save" the box is unchecked. Is that expected behaviour and if so is there any way round it?

Thanks...
