Hi:
I'm trying to install another copy of BOA but I believe my old install is interfering with my install. How can I install a new copy of BOA in a different location that would then allow me to copy the old sites to the new install?
Regards,
Chris

You cannot install more than
You cannot install more than one boa (barracuda, master instance) on one server. You can of course install multiple octopus instances.
If you need different servers, you can use remote import from one boa server to another. If you have multiple octopus instances, you can easily copy the entire platform + sites, e.g. from o1 to o2:
cp -R /path/to/old/platform /path/to/new/platform (this includes the existing sites)
chown -R o2:user /path/to/new/platform
Add platform in o2.boa.example.com
When verifying the sites will be imported (the database remains where it is)
Remove old vhost from /data/disk/o1/config/server_master/nginx/vhost.d/*
service nginx restart
Modify current install
Ok if I can't install another version of BOA, how can I change the current configuration of where its pointing? I.E. my current install has a hosting address that doesn't work any longer but for some reason I can't seem to find how to repoint it to a new address. That is why I was going to install a new version of it.
Appreciate any help.

I'm not sure what you mean by
I'm not sure what you mean by "hosting address", but you can change the hostname, IP etc. in /root/.barracuda.cnf. After you change these settings, you apply them by running "barracuda up-stable".
If you just want your Octopus Aegir instance at another domain, you can add another octopus instance (I don't know if you can change the location of an existing instance).
