aegir

I think this discussion about server configuration may benefit many. I know it will benefit me.

The facts:

• Ubuntu 9.x on Linode VPS, 540MB RAM
• Aegir
• 50 small sites that get a couple of visits every hour
• a few busy sites that should be able to handle a spikes of, say, 30 concurrent users
• a moderate dose of "module-itis"
• mostly anon users - say 90%
• content and login is not shared between many sites, but a few may use Domain module (or similar)
• using Pressflow

Is anyone working on Postgres support for Aegir?

I downloaded Openpublish 2.0 to /var/aegir/platforms directory
I verify the platform fine

I then goto create a site
I enter the url
I select Openpublish but I cannot continue because I get the error:

Install profile field is required.

I've been receiving minor warnings whenever I try and verify a site. If there's even a single file without the correct aegir:www-data permissions, you'll get a yellow warning when the site verifies. The most common one I see is:

Could not change permissions sites/mydomain.com to 493 (chmod to 755 failed on sites/mydomain.com)

If you're new to Aegir like me but want to get rid of the file permissions error, you can try these commands:

Attempting to import and existing drupal-6.10 site to aegir following the directions in this post: http://groups.drupal.org/node/24992 (Using option B)

Step 1: Transfer the Codebase:

I've successfully transferred the Codebase (I think!)

Step 2: Transfer the Database:

According to the directions, I should create a new database for the imported site and import the .sql file from the site I am importing, and then create a user, using the same username from the old site and grant appropriate permissions.

My setup:
Windows Vista , Virtualbox TurnkeyLinux (ubuntu).
In ubuntu i edited etc/hosts to point example.com to localhost
In windows i edited etc/host to point example.com to virtualbox.ip (the localhost of the virtual os)
Everything install fine,permisions, aegir, platforms ,cron ,all BUT wildcard dns: (i can access aegir from example.com)
I followed the documentation wildcard dns with just copy-paste , at 1 place changed the ip to localhost (at the db.mydev file) and changed everything "mydev" with example.com

The Aegir project is proud to announce the seventh alpha of our 0.4 release cycle. In the craziness of Drupalcon San Francisco, we have decided to make a long awaited release to share all the good stuff that is happening on the master branch. Most of those changes are stability and bugfixes and should be useable in production, but keep in mind this is still an alpha release, so it hasn't gone through the usual release-candidate proofing cycle.

I currently deploy my changes from dev to production using Git. I find Git a priceless tool for managing my codebase and am seeking ways to automate my deployment tasks without writing too many shell scripts involving drush etc. Does anyone use Aegir as a tool to automate git-based deployment ? Please share your experiences

Has anyone managed to get drupal 7 to work on Aegir???

Hello all. At tonight's Open Mike night, I'll do a short presentation that will provide an overview of Aegir. The slides I will use are available on SlideShare.Net here.

See you tonight!
