Deploying OpenAtrium - help!
Hi all,
This is a relatively simple question. With Aegir 0.3 and the latest OpenAtrium beta I am not receiving the admin email when I create a site. The video on developmentseed's blog shows the user copying and pasting the admin email link from the log of actions in Aegir's cron task view, but my system doesn't contain this step either.
Has anybody experienced this problem before? Is there a simple way of re-triggering the system to send the admin login email?
Thanks!
Dan
Delete a Website
There may come a time when you want to remove a website from your Aegir powered server. As you'd expect, Aegir handles this for you too. It'll even clean up after the site properly
But resist the first temptation of someone used to working with Drupal's nodes - don't go to the site's node, select the edit tab and press the 'delete' button! (in coming releases of Aegir this is to be made clearer).
Here's the proper way to do it:
1. Disable the Site

Subversion and non-multisite support in Aegir system.
I'm not sure if this has been discussed, but one of the things that I would love is to have subversion support. My workflow involves creating new sites for dev work or testing, and I would be great if I could have each site be it's own setup instead of being installed as a multisite, and then have the code automatically added to a new subversion project. Then I can deploy the completed sites out to their respective servers from svn (or have aegir do this for me??? :) So has any discussion around these ideas happened yet?
Read moreRelease goals for 0.4
Last updated by Macronomicus on Mon, 2009-09-07 11:26
Now that 0.3 is out the door, it's time to sit down in a happy circle and decide what we're going to do with 0.4. We already have a draft in the 0.3 release notes but it's not a page everyone should be editing all the time. So here's a wiki page to do just that, bootstrapped with the list made up in the 0.3 release notes.
The official stated goal for this release, is that we wish to properly support 'multiple servers', and embrace the distributed nature of Aegir. The high priority features on that ever growing list are:

Aegir 0.3 released
The Aegir project is proud to announce version 0.3 of the Aegir Hosting System.
As a project, we have always focused on keeping our goals for each release as clear as possible, and this has allowed us to accomplish many great things. After the major new features and refactoring involved in our 0.2 release, we decided to focus on building the best Drupal 6 based front end that we are able to.
The initial port to Drupal 6 was accomplished relatively early in the development cycle, and we have been spending our time since refining, testing and polishing what is undoubtedly our finest release yet.

Solaris 10 x86 Support
Has anyone tried to get installed in Solaris 10 x86? I'm used to using Ubuntu, but my ops team requires Solaris. Before I start working hard on trying to figure this out I'm wondering if anyone has ran into any pitfalls.

Aegir 0.3RC4 released
We're proud to announce the fourth release candidate of the 0.3 branch of the Aegir hosting system for Drupal.
Ægir is a set of contributed modules for Drupal that aims to solve the problem of managing a large number of Drupal sites. It does this by providing you with a simple Drupal based hosting front end for your entire network of sites. To deploy a new site you simply have to create a new Site node. To backup or upgrade sites, you simply manage your site nodes as you would any other node.
This is the fourth release candidate of the 0.3 branch. This release is a maintenance release and the only project goal is the porting of Aegir 0.2 to Drupal 6. As such the code base is already feature complete and only bug fixes will be accepted before the final release is made.
Fixes in this release include :
- fix lots of documentation: [#553230], [#553202], [#550352]
- fix tasks permission: [#535562]
- fix install_profile_api dependency: [#550696], [#545168]
- fix add site tab in client form [#525676]
Install Aegir With the Shell Install Script
WARNING: outdated instructions
those instructions are not the canonical install instructions and are outdated. You should follow the canonical instructions in INSTALL.txt from now on (which include the use of a more resilient, multiplatform and generic install script.
The rest of this document is kept for posterity.

Note that those instructions are DEPRECATED, see the new installation guide.
The manual installation instructions on this page assume that you have followed the steps in Preparing a Server for Aegir. You may need to change some elements of these instructions to fit your own servers setup.
Read morePreparing a Server for Aegir
This page shows you how to get a server ready to install Aegir. We'll do some basic updating and hardening of the OS, and install Apache, PHP and MySQL.
Setup the LAMP stack
The easiest route to setup the stack in the first place is to use an appliance from Turnkey Linux - they offer a LAMP stack which has much of the configuration done.
Download the appliance here: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/appliances/lamp
Follow though their setup instructions. A stack like this already includes Apache, MySQL and PHP.
Otherwise ensure you have a Linux server setup - eg Ubuntu 8.04LTS Hardy.

VPS with CentOS and Plesk
Using one of MediaTemples dedicated virtuals:
Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) + Plesk
Anyone know if it's even worth attempting to install/configure Aegir with Plesk in the middle of things?
Thanks,

Block search engines from parsing Aegir Nodes?
What would be the simplest way to block search engines from parsing Aegir management level Nodes?
Ive noticed some of the platform pages and other backend tasks came up in a google search I did.
Should Aegir do this automatically? Guess if we just set the hosting and tasks nodes as unpublished by default that would be easy enough but not really the most logical approach.
Read moreManually move sites between servers
Last updated by RunePhilosof on Fri, 2012-11-30 14:40
Here's a manual procedure to migrate sites between servers. This can also be used to test upgrades without removing the original site.
Source webserver/platform
-
backup (older versions of drush will be "drush provision backup")
drush provision-backup sourcesite.example.com -
copy files over to the new server (skip this if just deploying on a local platform)
scp ~aegir/backups/sourcesite.example.com-2009-07-31.tar.gz aegir@destsever.example.com:backups
Destination webserver/platform
- go to the right platform
Will there come a time for guys like me...
...who doesn't know all that much about setting up a LAMP on a VPS? I really, really love the possibilities with this module and I have just signed up for my first VPS and have tried to follow the instructions with the help of this groups documentation, but no luck yet. I have been pulling my hair for three days and even asked my hosting company to install DirectAdmin, just grasping for straws. I guess that's the prise I have to pay for using windows all these years! ;)

(PLEASE NOTE: This is a wiki page so you can edit it if you are logged into and part of the group.)
Aegir is a powerful system that sits on a LAMP server to create, deploy and manage Drupal sites. Once installed you can setup a drupal site in a few clicks - with Aegir setting up the apache config files and the MySQL database.
Aegir is in development, but is stable enough that many are already using the Release Candidates in production environments.
This documentation will tell you what you need to know to get Aegir setup and running.
Read moreSetting up HTTPS for Aegir managed sites
At the moment Aegir doesn't provide any means of managing SSL certificates, or accessing a site via https. There is a lot of discussion around implementing this however, and future versions are likely to include this.
You can follow the discussion here: http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/hostmaster?issue_tags=aegir-ssl
In the meantime you can set this up manually without causing problems with Aegir.
In this how-to I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 on a Linode VPS, but this will be the same for most OS's.

First, create a place to store certificates:
