CentOS 5 Install Notes
Last updated by emackn on Tue, 2009-11-03 14:35
[These notes assume that you are using the user aegir for both your system username and your mysql username]
Note that I had to run some extra MySQL commands to make sure everything worked on CentOS 5.
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'aegir'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Aegir Billing Requirements
Here are the Billing Requirements based on experience from Bryght Light and Hostmaster 1 (the predecessor to Aegir). We welcome requirements from others who will be using Aegir. We will gather requirements and then map to Ubercart and then figure out how's doing what.
The requirements in the following section are not in any order.
Actions required from ubercart savvy people: Are any of the MUST requirements impossible in the ubercart version Aegir will be using? e.g. recurring billing with credit card entered AFTER 30 day free trial?
