Discussion

I have started work on a Service API module that will expose functionality for Management of your Aegir Server remotely on things like iPhone apps, desktop apps, etc.

Cant upload zip here for what i have at the moment, but you can do a +1 here http://drupal.org/node/779256 to help get the project page launched, also feel free to post feature requests here. SO far I have gotten Site.save, Site.get, Site.list working.

Background:
I downloaded Open Atrium, set up a platform with it, and then tried setting up a site with that platform.
Install fails on "could not send out e-mail".
I think, "No worries, I'll set the password manually". So I do, I run enable on the site (succeeds) and try to log in. I don't get a front page, but a bunch of warnings like:
"Warning: No database selected query: SELECT 1 FROM access WHERE type = 'host' AND LOWER('my.ip.adress') LIKE LOWER(mask) AND status = 0 LIMIT 0, 1 in /var/aegir/platforms/atrium-1-0-beta6/includes/database.mysqli.inc on line 128"

Problem:

The Aegir project is proud to announce the seventh alpha of our 0.4 release cycle. In the craziness of Drupalcon San Francisco, we have decided to make a long awaited release to share all the good stuff that is happening on the master branch. Most of those changes are stability and bugfixes and should be useable in production, but keep in mind this is still an alpha release, so it hasn't gone through the usual release-candidate proofing cycle.

Everything on my aegir 0.4 alpha 6 installation is running fine. I just have one issue. When i install modules into the hostmaster platform, i have no problems but if i try to install modules to other platforms using drush, i get this error. "Drush command could not be completed"

when i download to the hostmaster platform:

:~/hostmaster-0.4-alpha6$ drush dl acquia_prosper
Project acquia_prosper (6.x-1.0-beta4) downloaded to [success]
/var/aegir/hostmaster-0.4-alpha6/sites/all/themes/acquia_prosper.
:~/hostmaster-0.4-alpha6$ drush dl skinr fusion

I need to deploy several sites in Norwegian (bokmål) and Norwegian (nynorsk) with Aegir, but I am a little confused as to how to localize Drupal sites with the new translation server and Aegir.

What would be the way to do this with aegir? I am new to aegir and a bit confused as to what goes where. So it would be great if someone could come up with some thoughts on this.

Installed aegir a couple of days ago - and I really, really like what it offers!

But I have a really wierd problem with the "File system" settings...
It says:

• The directory sites/[testsite]/files is not writable
• The directory sites/[testsite]/files/tmp is not writable

And I have "even" tried chmod 777 on the folders!!!

The main hostmaster aegir site works and validates that the files folder is writeable - and if I chmod that to 550 it complains... why can't the hosted sites connect to their files folder??? What am I missing and how can I solve it?

We have a room with AV on Mon 4/19 2:45-3:45 Room 206. Please reply here if you have thoughts about the agenda.

If needed I can talk about the UC Berkeley use case anddo an informal demo of stuff I've been working on with Puppet and my Aegir 0.3 "helper" shell scripts like move_db.php and clone_site.sh...

But I'd love it if others propose agenda/discussion items. This is my first DrupalCON BOF so not sure how much organization is needed. Help me out! :-)

alpha6, drupal 6.15

Just upgraded, had to modify aegir.make to use drupal 6.15 and used vset to get verify to work

when attempting site migration, here is what i get:

Status: Failed

I have a problem changing an imported site.
The site works and it verified fine (and autodetected it as "Danish" under "Language") but now that I want to change it (the node representing the site inside aegir) and add a "Domain alias" I get an error "Please fill in a valid language" but I can not change the "Language" property.
I have tried changing the default language of the site back to "English" and re-verify but it dosen't change anything.

Also another site created with aegir (not imported) works - and I add aliases and save etc.
