I'm in need of a little support since I inherited
I'm running a nonprofit which hosts multiple sites (about 12 at the moment) and my intern has gone travelling in Asia without a proper handover. If your interested, we're are providing communities with sensible alternatives to money - www.communityforge.net While we are running many sites I'm really unsure if the complexity is a help at the moment. If I can't get any help I shall just remove Aegir and do it all manually.
I changed the mysql password everywhere I could find, but now the tasks are not executing. I just don't have time to try to debug.
This task has not been processed yet: It will be processed around 17:45:03+0530, if the queue is not too crowded. The queue is currently run every 1 min, was last run 1 hour ago and processes 5 items at a time. Server time is 17:44:16+0530.
Also am I right in thinking there's a problem with 0.4 Alpha 6 that it doesn't automatically import sites? Is this fixed yet? I need to change some of the site names.
Thanks so much for responses
Matthew

Can you describe what you
Can you describe what you were trying to do when it broke? I believe Aegir stores a sites mysql credentials in a drushrc.php file so may be that file is not setup correctly.
Also do you get an error message or does the task never execute and if it never executes does the run time of the task just move on each time?
Thanks jamie The site
Thanks jamie
The site probably broke when I changed the root password.
i searched the scripts and the databaes for the password string and replaced one db field and some drushrc.php and a settings.php
Of course if the password is stored as a hash somewhere I wouldn't have found it.
It seems that the per-minute tasks are not running; spcifically I tried to install and enable a new site. I am not getting an error message, only that message saying that the task hadn't executed yet.
Which Root Password?
When you say root password do you mean for the server or mysql or Aegir. The passwords for the server root and mysql root should not affect aegir if it has been installed according to the installation guide as aegir has it's own system user (with no password for security reasons) and in mysql there should be two aegir users the aegir user which is the db user for the aegir frontend drupal site and then the aegir_root which is the db user that has db create privileges to create the db for new sites.
If the tasks are not running it may be a cron issue - it may be worth looking at the command that is trying to run and see if you can run it on the command line as the aegir user - you have to be careful though as I believe running some tasks at the command line instead of through the frontend can affect the permissions etc. You could also try running the task dispatch command that should be in the cron job manually and see if you get any errors - running with --debug can give more information on errors as well.
Hope the above helps.

thanks
I've got me some hands on help now, which is what I really needed
If you're using Aegir 2.x
If you're using Aegir 2.x check that "Task queue" is enable and configured properly. Read more at https://www.drupal.org/node/2302255#comment-8963401
