aegir 0.4 alpha 9

Hello all,

First thank you for all the work that has been put into Aegir and Mercury/Pantheon. I've been keeping an eye on both for a while and am ready to jump in. While my needs aren't heavy ... yet. A current project has the potential to need the power and scalability of Mercury/Pantheon and I want Aegir to make life simpler for implementing new sites and creating test development environments. So with that in mind I am creating a new server at Linode and will be migrating my sites(mostly D6 with one D5) from my old standard server.

Since I am converting from a box that wasn't using Apache/Solr, had no reverse proxy(Varnish) or caching such as APC/memcached in place I don't have to have those options fully in place on day one. I can activate those as I get a handle on their unique twists due to multi-site on Mercury/Pantheon. But I do want to lay the groundwork and get as much in place up front as I can.

I have been reading everything I can find(I'll include some of the links at the end of this post), which has answered many of my questions. But has also lead to a few more detailed new ones.

All my site files inside vhost.d contain the following <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
for the moment I change it by hand to <VirtualHost *:80>

I changed my server node to contain both 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.156 but it didn't help.

Do I have to reverify all sites to fix this?

I have Aegir 0.4 alpha7 installed. I tried to do an upgrade to alpha9 and got hit with some errors about which I posted here. I then tried a fresh install and encountered essentially the same error. Here's the entire output of the install.sh.txt script:


me@server:/var/aegir$ sudo su -s /bin/bash aegir -c "sh install.sh.txt aegir.example.com"
