Read moreCan't execute certain commands on sites/platforms anymore
Hello all,
I had a hard time to upgrade a site from 5.7 to 5.23 to 6.15 to 6.19 now.
I did this outside of Aegir, but tried it several times, to do it within Aegir.
Now it seems as if I have messed up my Aegir installation somehow :(
I have the site which I don't want to have anymore, so I click on delete and get:
The external command could not be executed due to an application error.
Then I want to disable / delte the platform and get:
The external command could not be executed due to an application error.
Host not found after Linode scriptstack install
Just to report, I've not been able to bring up aegir from the from the Linode stackscript (dmp1ce). After running the stackscript, booting the server, and receiving the welcome email:
"You can now login to aegir.ipublishingplatform.com by clicking on this link or copying it into your browser:"
I see the error, "Firefox can't find the server at aegir.ipublishingplatform.com."

Read moreIntegration of Registrar API with aegir
Is it possible to integrate some domain registration service into aegir?
I found this module which may help. http://drupal.org/project/registrar_api
Usecase:
1)Client comes to the site, searches for domain name, If available adds the domain name to cart via ubercart module
2)Client will browse for hosting packages, selects one and adds to cart
3)proceeds to checkout
4)drupal site will be created at chosen domain name and email will be sent with access details
Add modules to platform
Are tools available to add modules to a platform by the (aegir) userinterface?
su -s /bin/sh aegir -c "~/drush/drush dl @platform_xxx cck views nl blablabla" is not very state of the art.
Best would be a provisioning task. I'm sure that I'm not the first having this wish.
Read moreHow to configure site aliases and domain redirection on Aegir
Introduction
Site aliases are helpful if you move content to a new domain, change domain names or simply want to make sure that http://example.com and http://www.example.com take users to the same place. You can implement site aliases with or without redirection. The differences between these two methods and how Aegir handles them is described below.
Read moreLooking for more info on Barracuda and Remote Servers
Hello everyone:
I just finished installing Barracuda. (thanks mclendening, that side note turned out to be a gold nugget - very helpful) Beautiful, scary for an old school LAMP guy like me, but one cannot help be in utter awe of the work Barracuda Team and omega8.cc (Grace) have done and are doing. Bravo!. Makes me feel like I am in kindergarden.
Now I am on a quest to find as much info as I can on how can Barracuda be used to manage remote servers -or even if it is possible at all. I have read a few of omega8.cc's posts on the matter, but it can't seem to find much about this.
Read moreUpdate available installation profiles
Hi,
I updated the codebase of a platform to enable an alternative language (drush @platform_xxx dl nl)
But the language does not appear in the aegir (admin) user interface at "add a site".
I tried to run provision-verify, but that did not solve the problem.
How can I make it recognize the new installation profile?

Read more[SOLVED] Setting up SSH /MYSQL for remote servers
Hello everyone:
Edit on Solved status: IGNORE THIS ENTRY ABOUT SSH - SCROLL DOWN FOR THE MYSQL PART.
First of all, my most humble apologies for this post. I usually avoid bugging project developers with apparent noob questions, but after three days and no progress I felt I really had no choice.
I have been trying to set up Aegir (alpha14) with remote server with two separate nodes at Linode running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS, using one node as the Master (main Aegir) and a second node as the remote server.

Read moreCustomizing Site Settings in an Aegir Environment
Introduction
Every web site in an Aegir environment has a Drupal configuration file settings.php in /sites/example.com directory. Web administrators often need to make changes to this file; however, the Aegir system also manages this file and any manual customizations will be lost when a site is verified.
Fortunately, there are two mechanisms to ensure that your customizations can be preserved. If you look in the bottom of an Aegir settings.php file you will see references to two files local.settings.php and global.inc.
Site creation stuck on: Function ereg() is deprecated - PHP 5.3
Hi folks I think I need some help here.
Aegir 0.4alpha14 and drupal 6.19 running on ubuntu server 10.04 with PHP 5.3.
I had some sites there for more than a year and migrated them step by step way back from aegir 0.3.
Today I tried to create a new site and I got tons of:
Function ereg() is deprecated file.inc:938Worst thing is aegir is stuck: is it keeps trying to install the new site (the ajax wheel in the tasks block keeps turning).
I know it's a PHP 5.3 problem, but I really don't know where to look at now to stop the site installation...
Site Creation UI Suggestion
I recently installed Alpha 14 and created a Drupal 7 Beta 1 platform. I tried to create a site and did not see my D7B1 platform. I thought that Aegir was somehow not seeing the platform. Eventually, I realized that Aegir only shows the platforms that match the profile selected on the Site creation form. Well, that is not obvious.
Read moreA good Drupal hosting setup/Running Mecury AND Aegir on AWS
Hey Guys,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience running Drupal on AWS with at least Aegir. Ideally I'm thinking it would be great to have a setup similar to Pantheon's new service but I'm not sure I can wait that long.
Read morelaptop installation woes
I was able to install alpha 14 on my VPS. But I cannot install it on my laptop. I am running Karmic and am a linux noobie, so I know there is some pre-install config that escapes me. Any ideas what might be tripping me up?
machinename is devdan
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 devdan localhost.localdomain localhost
Other than this, I don't get it.
Read moreMigrate Fails under PHP5.3
I know its a minor issue for most people ... By and large Drupal is working well with PHP5.3 for me, as is Aegir.
I can perform all Aegir functions (Create, Backup, Clone, Verify, etc) EXCEPT Migrate.
I have just upgraded from Aegir 04. Alpha12 to Alpha 14 and am presented with the following errors when trying to migrate a (Drupal 7 Alpha 7 to Beta 1) site:
Undefined index: profiles deploy.provision.inc:84
array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given deploy.provision.inc:84
Undefined index: deploy.provision.inc:88
