aegir

Ok so I noticed your Aegir build but also noticed joshk's comment here http://groups.drupal.org/node/27134#comment-92680 So if its really different am I to assume it doesn't include all the goodies in Mercury? Im guessing so based on the description over at getpantheon.com ... so I currently have a dedicated server in which i have been running aegir for some time now quite happily ... what I wanted to know is if any of you are running Aegir inside your Mercury goodness? Are there any reasons not to?

Hi

I tried to install aegir on ubuntu via the shell script. (On an ubuntu 9.04 VMWare image)
First question: in the wiki they mention to "su - aegir" to run the script instead of "sudo". But how can you do it when the aegir user isn't created yet (this is done in the script).

So i did sudo sh install.sh. Everything went fine, I tried to install the domain "aegir.local". After the installation, I'm not able to reach aegir.local. (firefox says address not found) What do I need to do?

Thanks for your help...

Hello,

I've installed Ægir into Ubuntu server ( latest version, Jaunty? running in VMware on OSX), using the install script. Ægir installed and configured fine and i can create sites, but i'm having trouble viewing the sites because of ( what i'm guessing is) my DNS settings.

The Aegir team is happy to present the second alpha release of the 0.4 milestone. Like the first alpha, this is a "developer preview" release following the hugely popular 0.3 release, which includes many bug fixes to alpha1, along with a stack of exciting new features. While we are in alpha stage with 0.4, we recommend that production system continue to use the 0.3 stable release for now. However, many important bug fixes did make it into this alpha, so we encourage you to check it out however way you can.

Installation and upgrade instructions

Hi everyone,

For local development, I thought having an Aegir setup would be helpful.

Is it possible to install Aegir on top of a fresh install of MAMP (osx)?

That way we could quickly install, upgrade different versions of Drupal locally for development purposes. Is there a "simple" step-by-step documentation do do this?

Thanks in advance,

.Sam.

Hi,

In trying to take the Pantheon Aegir AMI for a spin, I hit my first obstacle with the database settings during the install.

This may be very obvious beginner mysql mistake but do I need to create the database, user and password before attempting the install?

I tried logging into mysql to create a database and set it up but realised that nowhere in the basic documentation does it mention the mysql password.
I tried the usual suspects , leaving it blank, drupal, mysql, root but none seem to work. I should mention I am trying to login as "root".

I just installed the EC2 instance of pantheon Aegir. When looking through the mercury press flow stack, it would seem like once running, you would be able to hit the ip of the server and be able to see your drupal install there. I seem to get the error message "The connection has timed out". I logged into the server. apache seems to be running. I went through the README file and got up to renamed the vhost.d file to the elastic IP address as well as changing the servername variable to the IP address. However I still get Problem loading page when trying to get to the install page.

The Aegir project is happy to present the first alpha release of the 0.4 milestone. This is a "developer preview" release following the hugely popular 0.3 release, to allow people to play around with the new features we are developing and is not meant to be production-ready, use at your own risks. It should be fairly stable anyways, as very little major changes were brought in, but a lot of new exciting features!

I just noticed through the hosting usage statistics that we have now crossed the symbolic count of 100 worldwide installations of the Aegir project!

While there are many Aegir related tips and documentation available, including scripts for complete Aegir system install on LAMP stack, we often have clients using Aegir the first time on their new VPS, but with enough experience to manage and transfer Drupal sites, and they often tend to overlook some required steps, they still make simple mistakes, or feel lost in a too detailed how-to, so I think it can be useful to post also some simple check-lists to make the work easier for others and to help enjoy Aegir power and
