Question

I have a fresh installed Ubuntu server 10.04. I followed the instruction on this page (https://github.com/pantheon-systems/mercury) to install Mercury. I am not sure which version it is. I am assuming its the latest one (1.2) . here's the instruction

apt-get install git-core
git clone git://github.com/pantheon-systems/mercury.git -b master /opt/pantheon
cd /opt/pantheon
python setup.py
apt-get update
bcfg2 -vqed

I was going to try out Mercury 1.2 for a new server we're setting up, checked out from github and it's choking trying to reach the getpantheon config server https://config.getpantheon.com:6789

Is this supposed to be publically accessible? Is the bcfg2 repo for 1.2 available elsewhere?

It seems to me like this project should utilize Nginx rather than apache2. Perhaps looking into this project (quite similar to project mercury, but not drupal-centric) may provide some interesting ideas?

Hi everybody,

I'm looking to use and install Mercury in my own server. I took a look into the code and first I'm glad that you are using Fabric.

But I've some questions. I would like to know why sometimes in the code, there is some call to getpantheon.com ? Specially for the certificate ?

This certificate is for what and can I replace it with my own certificate ?

Also, I would like know if its possible to use another Drupal installation expect Pressflow ? I would like use the normal or Acquia profile installation.

Thanks in advance for answers,

Have nice week-end,

Hi, and thanks for the great work for getting AWS AMI's up and running for the public. Im getting ready to move my site from one of my hosts to the cloud, but I have a few questions I have yet to find an answer to with this AMI.

Hey forum - I'm not a database admin, and I've been looking at other sample mysql configs and optimization stuff. Someone on the Linode forum told me to change over to InnoDB and also consider running the database on a separate VPS. Before I follow the seemingly good advice, wanted to get feedback from here:

We're currently running project mercury on a live server and so far it's been working great.

We built it on a large amazon ec2 ebs backed instance using the following guide: http://groups.drupal.org/node/70268

The issue is that we need to install pdo and the appropriate pdo driver in order to correctly configure the drupal CDN module and fileconveyor setup.

Unfortunately we have tried adding the modules in via just about every guide on the internet and the only way to successfully get the module working for us is to reinstall php5 with pdo included which of course breaks mercury.

I've been running mercury for a year on a small amazon instance. Performance wasnt great so I decided today to move it to a large instance, which is quite a step up.

I started with a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 and installed Apache, Varnish, Memcache, etc. I moved my database over and pointed the IP at the new instance. The site shows up and Varnish is working, but no matter what url I goto it shows me the main page of my website.

I am running a mercury 1.1 installation with a multisite setup. Everything has been running fine so far. However today I modified server_tuneables (I placed a 96 MByte limit on Tomcat - all other entries stayed blank) and then I ran bcfg2 -vqed to update all the settings. Once bcfg2 finished I ran into several problems with my install.

How do I update my Drupal Core to 6.22 when using the Mercury 1.1 stack. I've been running Mecury on EC2 for about 6 months and everything has been great, but recently Drupal released Core patches for 6.20 that have security updates. I researched updating Pressflow using Bazaar, but I don't know if that's what I need to do and I don't want to hose my site.

Anyone updated to Drupal Core 6.22 that is using the Mecury 1.1/Pressflow setup?
