aegir

My apologies in advance if this has been answered somewhere already.

I did a few searches and found a couple of threads that might be related.

Unique sitemap.xml files for Drupal Multi-site setup

Multi-Site installation serves wrong sitemap
http://drupal.org/node/465270

The other day mig5 mentioned that the DocumentRoot is the Platform directory. If I have a couple of Sites under a single Platform, and the sitemap.xml needs to be in the site root...this is where things get a little murky.

I've read through this discussion: http://groups.drupal.org/node/48428

I'm running Debian Lenny via VMware Fusion. Completely fresh VM with only the standard and desktop environments enabled. I've followed the excellent screencast at mig5.net to get the base server configured correctly.

I then run /tmp/install.sh.txt as the aegir user and everything is reported as [ok]. Here is the top part of the install.sh.txt file:

basic variables, change before release

AEGIR_DOMAIN=aegir.local
AEGIR_VERSION=0.4-alpha5
AEGIR_HOME=$HOME
WEB_GROUP=www-data

I click on verification and get this:

Warning: include_once(./sites/aegir.example.com/settings.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /private/var/aegir/hostmaster-HEAD/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 322

It is set to 440
user: aegir
owner: aegir
group: _www (on a mac)

I am using hostmaster-HEAD btw.

I see that /var/aegir/config/vhost.d/aegir.example.com_80 is there and the variables are set

I changed the settings.php permissions to 444 and got:

Hi all,

Sorry for possibly silly question, I'm just starting with Aegir.

I'd like to know if it is possible with the latest 0.4-alpha6 version to achieve the following:

I have root-access to:
1. development server with several vhosts, where I do development, try things out, debug and so on.
2. production server, where I put live sites.

Here's what I need:

I'm going to try to get Aegir working with Project Mercury. Just wondering if anyone else with past experience would like to collaborate on some best practices and perhaps getting those into a wiki with me?

Just going to start collecting bits here:

The Aegir project is proud to announce the sixth alpha of our 0.4 release cycle. The focus of this release was to refactor the hosting front end to more cleanly map to the multi-server requirements for this major release. We also have some usability improvements, and some new platform management features included in this release.

I've successfully installed Aegir 0.4-alpha5.
I then successfully installed and verified Pressflow 6.15.73.
I created a site in Aegir on the Pressflow platform, but when I went to the new site I created, it halted at step 2, Verify Requirements, because the system could not write to settings.php or the files directory.

I went to the directory, and confirmed that settings.php and the files directory were not writeable:

drwxrws--- 5 aegir www-data 4096 2010-02-25 01:35 files
-r--r----- 1 aegir www-data 2563 2010-02-25 01:35 settings.php

I try to figure out how to set up the sign-up form on webservers other then the Aegir host. I've done those steps so far:
- set up a second webserver for Aegir 0.4-alpha5 on Debian
- I have validated sites on it
- basic XML-RPC test (xmlrpc('http://aegir.example.com/xmlrpc.php', 'system.listMethods');) is working between the Aegir host and the second webserver

Do you have any hints how to render the sign-up form on sites running on the second webserver?

I want to know which provision module or code file creates the drushrc.php file while creating a new site in aegir system?

Thanks in advance.
