In detail

This book serves as a detailed guide to setting up Nginx in different production situations: as standalone server, as reverse proxy, interacting with applications via FastCGI, and more. In addition, the complete directive reference will be your best friend at all stages of the configuration and maintenance processes.

Hello,

I am attempting to install Aegir and I am stuck at the SSH configuration step. I am probably overlooking something obvious but can't figure out what that is. I have, however, searched the forum for others having the same problem, have read general documentation on SSH and Aegir-specific discussion of this issue, but still cannot resolve my problem.

Specifically: I have reviewed the canonical instructions for Aegir and the following pages (plus many other pages not listed):

Hi there,

we are just about to setup a new LAMP system for Aegir.
Do you have any recommendations towards the Apache / PHP setup?
There is another server which is running PHP as fastCGI and this is not nice to administer - so I'd like to go with a more standardized setup this time (debian and deb packages whereever possible).

How about SuPHP?
Does APC integrate smoothly into Aegir?
Are there any best practices that come to mind, thinking of a new environment with this system?

Thank you in advance
Bye, Transmitter

Hi there,

I'm just wondering about this in the INSTALL.txt of provision:

the server must be reserved for
Aegir. Sharing the server with other control panels such as Cpanel, Plesk or
AlternC will very likely create problems and is not supported.

Can I run some WordPress installations on the same server (other vHosts of course)?

And I assume that wanting to have SysCP is not really wise in that case?

Thank you in advance
Bye, Transmitter

Hello chaps and chapettes,

Previously I've been able to use the various provision_db_connect(), provision_db_fetch_array() functions to obtain data from the aegir database from within my install profile for a newly provisioned site. With the new services abstraction these functions appear to be gone.

An example of what I need to do might be adding a openid credentials of the aegir client that created the site, or setting the site_name based on information gathered when the user created the site.

Something like...


provision_db_connect();

Greatings All,

We are working our way through the aegir suite of modules, hooks and code. We recently found that if we added our own aliases for files etc to the vhost files, they got wacked during the next verify (Makes sense). The Aegir Verify task rebuilds the site apache vhost file each time. We then found and added code to the template file used to build the vhost files. This provides a great solution for aliases we wanted included for all new sites.

template: provision/web_server/provision_apache_vhost.tpl.php

Hi,

I have been able to get Aegir installed and it works fine to provision sites on the standard Drupal 6.19 platform. But I added the latest Open Atrium, Tattler, ProsePoint, Pressflow, and ManagingNews distributions. I have tested and retested them, searched the Internet, and I still can't get any of them to work. Drupal 6.19 works fine. The following is the error I get when trying to install Open Atrium. The Drupal Status Report shows my PHP Memory Limit set to 128M. Your kind assistance is very appreciated, as always!

Is it possible to log into an Aegir site remotely and add/node using cURL?

Apparently, this can be done on a D6 site:

http://drupal.org/node/80548
http://drupal.org/node/89710

Any reason it would not work with Aegir?

We have the following big problem with our aegir installation. Our first installation was 0.2 or something, we were very happy when everything worked right but then we had some troubles with migrating. aegir did not recognize packages are correctly installed or something (we dont know) so we cant migrate from any drupal version to another...
