aegir migration deployment

Running php as fastcgi has a reputation for using less server resources (specifically memory) that makes it attractive when memory starts to run low. Once the general setup of fastcgi is done enabling Drupal to run with it under Apache is as simple as adding 'ExecCGI' to the Options for a particular in either htaccess, the vhost file or elsewhere in the global Apache config.

When it comes to installing Aegir, simply adding ExecCGI to Aegir's default vhost during setup works fine.

Hi all,

I just wanted to share my experience migrating an existing site to Aegir, in the hope that others will find it illuminating and it will help them avoid some of the pitfalls I encountered.
