BOA

Caveat when partitioning a server or vps to run with BOA - just a / and a swap are probably all that is needed for most purposes. Repartitioning ext4 on the fly is not fun.

I have searched the web for info on the proper way to restore a corrupted octopus instance and have not found any info.

Is there a tutorial on how to restore an octopus instance?

Does anyone know of an easy way to move a site from one octopus instance to another on same barracuda? (when the site is still up, but when one no longer has access to a functioning octopus aegir hostmaster site) I truncated the overhead on the wrong table and it took the octopus hostmaster site down so that it no longer recognizes any servers, platforms or sites - but all sites are still up and running) I cannot import the o1 server db backup for some reason - possibly a problem with percona...

For example, move domain.com from o1 to o2?

Preferably using drush and command line.

I'd like to know how to run the "morning cron" for my entire BOA install from the command line. Can anyone please give the the exact command to run as root in a terminal?

i.e. bash /var/xdrago/runner.sh ? or something like that? I'm not a shell scripter

Thank you very much.

Hey, i'm working on a backend for some music studio. The backend needs to handle large file uploads (~10gig). I have found out that there are several issues and possible solutions.

• drupal can't manage files with 2gig+ (which is really lame but easy to fix) #1815886: Drupal core cannot manage files larger than 2 GB
• php.ini and nginx.conf would need some adjustments when using php / flash / html5 upload stuff (jquery_upload, swf_upload, plupload etc). -> old browsers have a big chance to fail

I want to add a platform, but I don't want to put it in /data/disk/o1/static/.

I've written a script (attached) to download drupal to the existing global area (say, /data/all/001/mynewplatform), tweak it, create a client version (say, (/data/disk/o1/001/mynewplatform) and tweak that too.

What's the next bit? What is the drush command - perhaps a hostmaster extension - that adds it to the list of available Aegir platforms?

Hello,

I am building a site for my business. One of the requirements for the site is to build an access log showing what users accessed what pages when. I want to see a time stamp, user name, and node name, a link to the node, and integration with organic groups so I can create access log reports by group. I understand that the access log feature is turned off in BOA, so I cannot use the native drupal function. I have identified this module:

http://drupal.org/project/nodeviewcount

Are custom platforms suppossed to put in (BOA 2.0.5):

~/static/platform1/
~/static/platform2/

etc...

OR

~/static/platforms/platform1/
~/static/platforms/platform2/

I would truly appreciate a simple straighforward answer from any helpful person out here to this simple question. I have ready all the documentation and literature, and this still is not completely clear to me.

The relevant documentation states:

This is intended as a discussion area for getting the xmlsitemap module to work properly with BOA (and nginx). So I am asking BOA users to list successful strategies for getting an auto-generated xml sitemap (and one in each language used ...) on sites being hosted on the BOA server.

I have open an issue with the xmlsitemap module:

http://drupal.org/node/1924570

I think the problem is with nginx.

example of sitemap generated with the xmlsitemap module on my BOA server:

("http://domain.com" replaced by "..." for each link so entire sitemap can display here)
