Hi everybody,
I'm looking to use and install Mercury in my own server. I took a look into the code and first I'm glad that you are using Fabric.
But I've some questions. I would like to know why sometimes in the code, there is some call to getpantheon.com ? Specially for the certificate ?
This certificate is for what and can I replace it with my own certificate ?
Also, I would like know if its possible to use another Drupal installation expect Pressflow ? I would like use the normal or Acquia profile installation.
Thanks in advance for answers,
Have nice week-end,

The Acquia profile should be
The Acquia profile should be able to be used with pressflow, pressflow is an optimized drupal core, you dont have to use its profile though, just drop your acquia profile in the profiles dir and be sure its dependencies are in place, then select it when first installing drupal.
As for mercury... the code and tutorials are a bit of a mix at the moment, pantheon is separate from the Mercury group now, and the scripts and setups no longer work much, but the best practices are pretty solid IMO. It would be nice to clean up and go back to a step by step mercury tutorial manual install or even just a best practices wiki.
The combination of the Mercury style best practices setup is awesome for drupal, the difference is highly noticeable. Im currently building another mercuryish setup with auto-scaling on rackspace using Scalr with percona-mysql, memcached, varnish, nginx, pressflow7 and apc. The coolest thing ever is that Scalr can scale an all-in-one-LAMP to a multi-user load-balanced farm to handle high load, and then come back down to one server again when need subsides.
How did your testing come out?
Sounds great
Macrocosm,
That sounds cool, I'm sure a lot of people would love to use it. I am currently looking for something for Linode. Do you know of anyplace that has a Mercury-ish installation profile for Drupal 7?
I didn't test yet, I was just
I didn't test yet, I was just looking into de source code to understand how it's works.
By the way, its pretty exactly what I'm looking for, the Scalr + Mercury combo to deploy and manage hundred web sites :). Do you've any repo or documentation able to share ? Its can help me a lot maybe !

No I dont ... mostly im just
No I dont ... mostly im just kicking the tires. My tests went pretty well except varnish gave me some trouble when I mixed it with boost. If I end up using this all I'll probably do a writeup but im still not certain at this point.
Cheers & good luck to ya, add something back in this group if you come up with a cool solution or whatever.

It use to, but it doesn't work anymore :(
I 'have followed this step by step a couple of times some weeks ago, but I wanted to to rebuild from scratch my server and it doesn't work anymore.
My guess is that there are some broken repos with BZR...
Is there any way to use https://github.com/pantheon-systems/mercury to to grab some code ?
Thanks
