Aegir 0.4 alpha 9 released

Totally mind-blowing progress!

Hi - excellent work thanks for all the hard work.

I have just upgraded from alpha 8 to 9 and had a few minor hiccups.

1 - when issuing the hosting-migrate command I received warnings about /var/aegir/config/server_master and it subdirectories not existing. It looks like all of the directories were created at somepoint though as they existed after hosting-migrate.
2 - once the hosting-migrate command has completed a number of verify tasks were kicked of for all the platforms - however this included trying to run a verify task for platforms I had deleted these obviously failed.
3 - apache config was broken for my sites and I believe this related to item 1 above. This was because the apache.conf file in /var/aegir/config/apache.conf became a symlink to /var/aegir/config/server_master/apache.conf within the new directory and the include lines changed to use vhost.d platform.d and conf.d directories within /var/aegir/config/server_master/apache/ directory. Re-Verifying each site fixed this configuration issue and sites were back online again. Also I now have /var/aegir/config/apache.d vhost.d and platform.d directories - are these now redundant and should I delete them?

Nothing major and maybe related more to my interpretation of the upgrade text than a problem with the upgrade but thought I'd let you know how it went.

Thanks again,

JamieT

Hello - I attempted an upgrade and now my system's offline. During the

$DRUSH hostmaster-migrate $AEGIR_DOMAIN $DRUPAL_DIR

I receive warnings:

No hook functions were found for hostmaster-pause.                                            [warning]

Then aegir is adjusting the database, and has the following errors:

 6010 - Add url aliases for the context names that are registered.             
 6011 - Clients and packages were imported as belonging to the anonymous user. 
 Reassign them to the admin user.                                              

The result is that I have an unfinished install, and my original hostmaster-0.4-alpha8 no longer works (am now looking into restoring it).

I am hoping one of you can help me resolve this issue faster than I can by myself! Is there an easy fix?

Thanks!

try the following :

In alpha8 we shipped with an experimental SSL module, that got removed completely in development.
The new module therefor doesnt have it's schema installed if you had ssl enabled before.

I just upgraded my aegir installation to the latest 0.9 release. The upgrade was successful. However, I cannot move all sites from my 0.8 platform to 0.9 platform. The error that I get is

I also got an error message while updating the frontend. It says

Adrian,

10. Introduced NGINX web server support. (Contributed by Omega8cc)

The way aegir works is we store the information we need to generate the config files whenever we need to. The data is important, not the config files themselves. This is why you can switch from nginx to apache and vice versa.

I have around 10 sites in aegir (apache). I just upgraded aegir to 0.9 version. How do I now move my aegir installation to nginx? is there any documentation available on how to move aegir from apache to nginx?

Correct. The missing Nginx hints in the docs should say something like I wrote in comments and in the issue queue before:

http://git.aegirproject.org/?p=provision.git;a=blob;f=http/nginx/nginx.c...

http://drupal.org/node/864214

So on the OS level you need first:

$ echo "aegir ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/nginx" >> /etc/sudoers
$ apt-get install nginx
$ ln -s /var/aegir/config/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/aegir.conf
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart

And when you want to start fresh, use the Nginx variant of install:

$ su -s /bin/sh aegir -c "sh install.sh.txt aegir.example.com --http_service_type='nginx'"

Nice update guys, I updated without to many problems, but I just found out that cron wasn't working anymore

aegir: crontab -e has the following lines

This seems to work, cos /admin/reports/dblog shows me cron run completed every 2 hours

But all my sites show that cron was last run more than a day ago, so I checked the hosting_site table and this shows that crons was run like 30 minutes ago

Any ideas?

You guys rock my effing socks!

Nice job guys! \o/

I'm in the process of selecting a host for my new VPS and I'm wondering what distribution to choose to run aegir. I have experience with Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and I've tried installing aegir on ubuntu 8.10 (which gave me errors). Is there a distro of choice?

I'd like to go with 10.4 but I'm worried php5.3 will give me hassles. It seems most modules are now on top of the 5.3 issues but as per the INSTALL.txt, its still recommended I stay with php5.2.

So I thought I'd throw it out there to the community. What is the collective wisdom on this issue? Thanks.
