Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I'm going to try to get Aegir working with Project Mercury. Just wondering if anyone else with past experience would like to collaborate on some best practices and perhaps getting those into a wiki with me?

Got stuck setting up the virtual host for Aegir on the Mercury Install.

Added NameVirtualHost 75.101.157.185:80 to apache2.conf in /etc/apache2

Create aegir.xtrgood.com in /etc/apache2/sites-available

<VirtualHost 75.101.157.185:80>
ServerName aegir.xtrgood.com
ServerAlias www.aegir.xtrgood.com
ServerAdmin admin@xtrgood.com
DocumentRoot /var/aegir
</VirtualHost>

Created sym link in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
aegir.xtrgood.com -> ../sites-available/aegir.xtrgood.com

Tricky

At this point, Project Mercury isn't very multisite-friendly, so you're going to have a fair number of issues.

However, this is a common request, and it's on our road-map. Basically, we need good ways to change the Aegir defaults so it uses different port numbers, and then a way to manage/handle Memcache prefixes/etc.

I have been using them together successfully for a bit now, there are definitely a few bits you have to watch out for. I jumbled some of it here http://groups.drupal.org/node/35984

For your question above you need to make the port 8080 not 80.

Ive discovered some more but its still a work in progress, mainly whats lacking is altering solr to be compatible with multisites. Maybe we should start a wiki page for manual setup? Or should we work on a bcfg2 config aegir+mercury branch?

just wanted to add that the

just wanted to add that the global.inc will be different for the new mercury ami since it uses memcached not cacherouter, just install the pressflow site and look at its settings.php thats what you will need in the preg match global.inc bit I have on the above linked node/35984.

Thanks

I started a page on the Drupal Mercury groups page about getting Mercury and Aegir to work. I'll convert it to a wiki so that we can get some install instructions up.

Please see the wiki

I've started a wiki to document Aegir on Mercury:
