Newbie stuck on permissions installing Aegir Hostmaster 0.4-alpha6
Can't seem to find any help on this in any other posts...I've tried everything I can think of, but can't seem to get around this...
After installing, I get the following error:
* The Hostmaster installer requires write permissions to ./sites/default/settings.php during the installation process. If you are unsure how to grant file permissions, please consult the on-line handbook.
I can access SocialNicheGuru.com but not www.SocialNicheGuru.com
When I create sites or migrate sites, I can't access www.domainname.com but I can domainname.com
Any pointers on why?
Thanks.
Read moreIs there anyway to keep your site private once it is imported
I have gotten Aegir to work YEAH!
It imports sites fine most of the time.
But I was wondering if there is a way to stage the site.
Right now it imports, and it is automatically available.
I see "enable", but neither view nor run are available.
As I describe this, I see that this might be a bug.

Upgrading from Aegir-6.x-0.4-alpha3 to Aegir-6.x-0.4-alpha6
The backend upgraded easily -- I downloaded drush 3.0-rc1 and alpha6 version of provision from http://files.aegirproject.org/ but when I try running
drush hostmaster migrate aegir.eduglue.com $DRUPAL_DIR
All I get is:
No hook functions were found for hostmaster migrate. [warning]
Subsites in site managed by Aegir?
I've read through this discussion: http://groups.drupal.org/node/48428
Read moreSite task changes
The aegir project makes deploying code bases and sites a breeze. One drawback is that the admin is locked into default apache virtual host configurations. These files are easy enough to customize but the customization can be lost by executing several of the sites tasks.
The following changes are proposed:
- Rename site verify task to rebuild. The site verify task does not meet the definition of 'verify'. It is closer to a rebuild or re-initialize task.
How can I create multisites in folders and not in subdomains?
I would like to create a multisite with Aegir in myserver.org/mysite.
In Create content -> Site -> Domain I only can insert something like myserver.org.mysite but then Aegir understand that my site is in http://myserver.org.mysite instaead of http://myserver.org/mysite
How can I create multisites in folders and not in subdomains?
Thanks.

Aegir-related events at DrupalCon. BOF?
So there's Adrian's talk: http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/aegir-hosting-system-one-dr... and there's Moshe's presentation on drush: http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/advanced-drush
Is there anything flying under my radar that I should not miss?
There is also the possibility of organizing a Aegir BOF: http://sf2010.drupal.org/community/forum/bof-sessions. I'd be willing to organize if there is enough interest...

Installation of Open Atrium 1.0 beta 5 sites fail (RESOLVED)
Hi there. I'm a new user of Aegir, and so far I've been very impressed with its capabilities and finesse. I was able to successfully install Aegir with no hiccups, and even migrate in a few Drupal sites. When I attempt to create a site on the Open Atrium 1.0b5 platform (which verified correctly), I receive the following error:
aegir@HOSTNAME:~/config/vhost.d$ /var/aegir/drush/drush.php --root='/var/aegir/platforms/atrium-1-0-beta5' provision-install 'foo.bar.org' --debug
Drush bootstrap phase : _drush_bootstrap_drupal_root() [0.08 sec, 3.08 MB] [bootstrap]
Platform will not verify on Remote server
Setup a remote server and it verified fine. Then added a platform on the remote server and the verify fails. I have verified that PDO is installed (although i don't think this is related). Here is the output.
Task starts processing

DNS configuration help
I'm running Debian Lenny via VMware Fusion. Completely fresh VM with only the standard and desktop environments enabled. I've followed the excellent screencast at mig5.net to get the base server configured correctly.
I then run /tmp/install.sh.txt as the aegir user and everything is reported as [ok]. Here is the top part of the install.sh.txt file:
basic variables, change before release
AEGIR_DOMAIN=aegir.local
AEGIR_VERSION=0.4-alpha5
AEGIR_HOME=$HOME
WEB_GROUP=www-data
Adding client file/console access
Has there been any discussion of something like this? Either on a per-site or per-client level, providing the capability for Aegir to create a user account for ssh/sftp access to relevant site(s)? I've tinkered with the code, but I'm not much of a dev so it's resulted in abject failure...
Read moreDeleting Aegir Sites
I recently tried to create a new site with Aegir, but the create failed. (The aegir MySQL user did not have correct privileges.) The site creation got far enough along that a Site node was created in Aegir, but the site was not functional. I decided to try to delete the site, but the delete failed because no DB existed. Then, I just deleted the site subdirectory under the platform's directory. Still, Aegir has a Site node for the site.
Read moreInstalling Aegir on Existing Server
I've got a combination of feedback and questions regarding Aegir.
- I've successfully installed Aegir in '/var/aegir'.
- I have subdirectories 'backups', 'config', 'drush', 'hostmaster-0.4-alpha6', and 'platforms' in '/var/aegir'.
- I have been hosting a number of different Drupal and Open Atrium sites on the same server at '/var/www/html'.
- I followed these instructions under Option B to import my existing sites into Aegir. (Again, all of this is on the same server.)
Two new sites - one sends email to webmaster@localhost
I am using Aegir hostmaster-0.4-alpha6.
I created two new sites with the hostmaster admin "simultaneously" - i.e. fast enough to have two installs in the queue to be processed at once, whose client email address is aegir@domain.com
One site has the welcome email being sent to aegir@domain.com and the other has it being sent to webmaster@localhost.
Since I am doing two identical tasks, I expect them to operate the same. And since I am creating them from a particular account, I expect them to email the client associated with that account (admin's client email address in this case).

Is it possible to migrate site between servers?
Hi all,
Sorry for possibly silly question, I'm just starting with Aegir.
I'd like to know if it is possible with the latest 0.4-alpha6 version to achieve the following:
I have root-access to:
1. development server with several vhosts, where I do development, try things out, debug and so on.
2. production server, where I put live sites.
Here's what I need:
Read moreImporting Sites on Same Server as Aegir
The documentation for Aegir explains how to tar an existing site on a server other than the Aegir server, grab the database, and move all of this to the Aegir server. My situation is different. I have installed Aegir on a server that has existing running sites. Are the instructions the same, except I do not need to move the database? Must I move or copy the existing sites from /var/www/html to /var/aegir ? The documentation is not clear about where the tarred drupal site should be untarred to import into Aegir.
Thanks.
