Question

Hi
My site was just migrated from Drupal to Mercury today morning...however now the site seems to be crashing every few hours :-(

The culprit seems to be Varnish ..I keep getting the following error messages

Can someone guide me on how I can debug it?

The site is on Rackspace running on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Hey,

I'm creating a website and using zen as my theme framework. I need to make nav bar and logo to go on one row next to each other. How i could acomplish this using zen css? Thanks indeed for all comments.

I'm enjoying my pressflow/mercury installation very much on a Rackspace Lucid Lynx instance.

An interesting thing that I note is that the number of "guests" grows over time and seems to take up the available memory. Now, we're only talking a few hundred "guests," but I do not think they are real. Not willing to blame Pantheon, but has anyone any thoughts on this issue?

Thanks!

Ok, this is a beginner's question and I know it's frustrating. I found this EC2 manual which helped me setup my Mercury AMI on EC2.

Now I'm succesfully running a 32bit Mercury 1.1 AMI on EC2. I've logged in with SSH and can install pressflow via the public URL. It works.

But now,... I want to upload my own files to /var/www...! :) This poses a problem, as I get authentication troubles.

Hello and thank you for Mercury/Pantheon, now Drupal flies ;)

Is it possible to install the main site outside /var/www or inside a subdirectory (/var/www/mainsite). I know version 1.1 has multisite support, but is it compatible with vhosts (other websites on the same server)?

Thank you in advance

In Greg's post here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/72718 he discusses how to make Ubuntu Lucid use php5 packages from Ubuntu Karmic due to the issues with php5.3 and Drupal. I tried using this approach on a server I'm building (non-mercury/pantheon) and discovered a few holes in the documentation, I think...

I used Justin's Stackscript on linode 540 and was able to migrate my site although I enabled Memcache, Varnish, and Apache Solr and noticed there was not any instructions I could find to configure these based on the stackscript's setup and I want to be sure I am doing it correctly. Also there where no entries in settings.php for these modules specifically. According to some other material I read on getpantheon.com HOWTO suggested to include but wonder if all the ports are correct.

This is probably more of a bcfg2 question but:

After installing the client from the bcfg2 server, I want to add a bunch of packages, eg git, phpmyadmin, locate, etc. What's the best way to add a set of packages to my server so that I don't need to do a bunch of apt-getting after every client installs?

Thanks

I followed the step-by-step instructions greg so kindly posted, and added a few annotations where the install seemed to take a really long time without progress reports from Linux.

This was a plain Rackspace instantiation on Lucid Lynx.

Greg, thanks for the great job!

Couple of questions:

1. I seemed to need to run this command twice: sudo bcfg2 -vqed. It just hangs after the first install, it seems. Have others reported that?
2. I needed to manually set up the mySQL database. Perhaps related to #1 above, perhaps not.

I want to start using Mercury on Voxel VoxCloud server (http://www.voxel.net/products-services/voxcloud). Are there any starting points to look for?

Which experiences are there around?

The reason to go for Voxel is that they have in Amsterdam also a cloud environment. Because my customers are based in the Netherlands I think this would be a benefit for the performance. (any comments on my thoughts?)
