works for me, and I have tried every password and login I know, but I cant log in, I get the error
CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection.
I think this is because I am using the wrong password. Do you have any idea?
Thanks!

the password is generated for
the password is generated for you during the install script.
you forgot to read the display messages but it's highlighted at the end of the installation like so

and here there is a message in caps telling you to copy the above password....
i guess you missed it ;)
not sure if you can retrieve it in a log or if you have to find some instructions to reset your root password or reinstall the entire thing (if you do make sure to copy the pw this time)
mysql root password should be
mysql root password should be in /root/.my.pass.txt
And the path to the root user
And the path to the root user for Mariadb is:
/root/.my.cnf

Trace the headers being exchanged
and see what's going on. I'm unfamiliar with China's fw.
I suggest you constrain the Chive location to use Basic Auth. Although Chive is much less insecure than phpMyAdmin, but I'm wary of letting anyone access the login form for a DB manager, whatever it be.
Ideally also you should place it over https to avoid problems with someone trying to sniff your password.
I always install Chive over https and with Basic Auth.
You can use a self-signed certificate. After all this is just for someone managing the database(s) not a public site.
thanks for the feedback. I
thanks for the feedback. I would like to find out how to live without an external program. I look forward to learning more so I can take advantage of the nginx conf file you have put together..

AntiNSA look for me on IRC
AntiNSA look for me on IRC some time, sounds like we are going through the same learning curve and i'd be happy to help you up.
I was able to install chive on mariadb after some tweaking. Purusio's config files for Chive are excellent as well!
to quickly create a self signed certificate follow the instructions here and make sure to modify the ssl_certificate directory in your config file according to where you saved your new cert & key
i also had a problem with a timezone error but it was easy fix by adding timezone details to php.ini file
Cool, thanks! I have spent
Cool, thanks! I have spent soo much time trying to get omeggas script working and my site imported correctly, I havent event got to really check it out. I hope I can get it to be as fast and lessproblematic as pantheon was for me. Pantheon doesnt seemed as tweaked out as omegas script is... I may try it again one day, but there is so much I have to try with omega. All of his configs are on the list of things to get done.Good to see so much work by others have been put into it. From my research and my time limit, I can appreciate the work the people put into this. Also drupal, and all the great projects. Ill see you on mirc and am certain to have more questions soon...

Head over to your /var/aegir
Head over to your /var/aegir directory and open the install.log file and you will find the login info starting with the username aegir_root and then a rather long password under it. You will also find the Mariadb root password at /root/.my.cnf
