I'm trying to apply a wildcard ssl certificate to my Aegir sites. I was able to follow these directions and get ssl working for one of my sites but trying to do so on a second site fails (which I expected). I tried to add in the VirtualDocumentRoot trick from this thread but that's not going to work since in Aegir the files in vhost.d also contain the database values for the respective sites, and also because I can't point traffic to the respective multisite folders in the same way -- (the equivalent would be VirtualDocumentRoot /var/aegir/platforms/drupal-6.15/%1/ , which doesn't work). There are probably other things stopping it from working too.

I've successfully installed Aegir 0.4-alpha5.
I then successfully installed and verified Pressflow 6.15.73.
I created a site in Aegir on the Pressflow platform, but when I went to the new site I created, it halted at step 2, Verify Requirements, because the system could not write to settings.php or the files directory.

I went to the directory, and confirmed that settings.php and the files directory were not writeable:

drwxrws--- 5 aegir www-data 4096 2010-02-25 01:35 files
-r--r----- 1 aegir www-data 2563 2010-02-25 01:35 settings.php

I try to figure out how to set up the sign-up form on webservers other then the Aegir host. I've done those steps so far:
- set up a second webserver for Aegir 0.4-alpha5 on Debian
- I have validated sites on it
- basic XML-RPC test (xmlrpc('http://aegir.example.com/xmlrpc.php', 'system.listMethods');) is working between the Aegir host and the second webserver

Do you have any hints how to render the sign-up form on sites running on the second webserver?

I want to know which provision module or code file creates the drushrc.php file while creating a new site in aegir system?

Thanks in advance.

We had an issue with too many sessions which were stored in database for each user. The problem was that all sessions were keep and did not get cleared up. We managed to solve this problem.

At first we have tried to solve our problem by changing following parameters in settings.php (sessions.cache_expire & session.gc_maxlifetime set to 1800). Please see below:

@ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&');
@ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime', 0);
@ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', 0);
@ini_set('session.cache_expire', 1800);

I've been using Aegir in my development VM which is now distributed to three other developers. While for us creates consistency when creating a new site/project I find the use of site_X for the database name causes some slowdown in work.

Is there an option to name the database when creating a new site?

Some times I need to go and look in a DB and having to SSH in and run "drush -l sitename status" or open the settings.php for that site to check the DB name is a distraction.

I'm aware that Aegir's intended purpose might not be that to which I'm using it in this case.

I wonder if anyone has seen this before and has some advice:

Using aegir 0.3 when I do a 'drush provision backup site.example.com', from either the Aegir web UI or from the webserver command line, the command fails with

An error occurred at function : drush_provision_drupal_provision_backup

A complete tar file is created in ~aegir/backups, but it is not gzipped. I believe gzip is dying. This just started happening on one of my servers. I think that there is plenty of memory available on the server (Ubuntu sever 8.04LTS):

  $ free -m

Hello
I would be so glad to try Aegir, but I tried and tried again to install Aegir of several ways and I have not yet been succeeded.
Please help, I don't find any solution, I'm not an expert.

I always get an error message at the end of installation:

user warning: Table 'aegir.node' doesn't exist query: SELECT COUNT(t.vid) FROM aegir_hosting_task t INNER JOIN node n ON t.vid = n.vid WHERE t.task_status = 0 in /var/aegir/drupal-6.15/profiles/hostmaster/modules/hosting/task/hosting_task.module on line 344.

Here is the last way that I proceeded
Did I do something wrong ?

I am having issues cloning sites. I have narrowed it down to 2 senarios:

Works:
Create site from platfrom (i.e. Drupal 6.15)
Do nothing to it (virgin site)
Run Clone: it works

Doesn't Work:
Create site from platform
Do normal dev, install modules, themes etc...
- Modules are installed via Drush DL or FTP via SSH as root.
- Things like CKEditor need FTP uploads and can not be done solely by Drush
- This caused some ownership issues so ran verifiy, noted permission issues and made corrections via command-line
- Verify, backup and restore all work fine after resetting permissions
Run Clone: it fails with the error below (bolded)

It looks like the "Undefined index: driver" or "Undefined index: site_port" errors may be the culprit but I can't figure how to troubleshoot them (no google answers)

Here are the errors I'm getting:
