Finally got Aegir installed - as a complete noob - and I'm lovin' it! Just goes to show, even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while!
I deployed my first site, and I am able to point my browser to it, but I have no way to log in -- I never got my credentials email...
I would assume there's something wrong with my mail setup on the server but - being the blind squirrel I am - I have no idea where to look to fix it!
Anyone got a suggestion???
Thanks so much...learning a lot from this discussion group, and hope to be able to participate in some meaningful way soon...

When you install a site: 1)
When you install a site:
1) The node has a link on it saying 'Login to http://yoursite' which is a link to the login password reset URL
2) That same Login reset url is in the task output of the 'install' task that was run to install the site
re: your mail problem, this could be anything.. are you running a mail server capable of sending outgoing emails? What software are you using? Did you install postfix per the INSTALL.txt? Some ISPs prevent outbound email that doesn't relay through their SMTP server. Lots of things to check, but those steps above will let you work around the lack of welcome mail anyway.
Thanks, Miguel... Didn't
Thanks, Miguel...
Didn't notice the link...I don't know why I was thinking I would get an email...
I installed Postfix per the install.txt, but when I run Postfix Start, it says it's starting, but when I run Postfix Status, it says it's not running...will have to look into the setup to make sure it's configured correctly; I'm on a VPS with Burst.Net (for testing ONLY -- I wouldn't recommend them for anything else...), so I should have the capability to run my own mailserver.
Thanks so much for your help...Aegir is AWESOME!
Now that I know what to tweak to get it to install, I'm going to reinstall the latest version...I'd like to run it alongside VirtualMin, to help me with my server admin duties, unless you see a problem with that...I'm hoping that will help me configure Postfix correctly...
