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:

When a DNS record exists for a domain which has not yet been created or for one which has been configured incorrectly in apache then the visitor is presented with the drupal site installation screen. This is not a desired outcome.

This occurs most notably when someone attempts to access www . example . com when the domain is actually example.com.

I've almost completed installation of Aegir 0.4-alpha6. I'm stuck at the import of my aegir.mysite.com site into Aegir. The import keeps failing with a permissions error when the import attempts to write drushrc.php into the sites/aegir.mysties.com directory.

What should the permissions and ownership be on that directory?

Thanks.

I've completed my installation of Aegir. The verify task has been running for a while. When I look at the task, I see:

While I truly wish that I were the age I was in 1969, alas that is not possible, at least not with Aegir, and the time does work correctly on my server.

Also, how long should the Verify task run? What is it verifying?

Thanks.

I discovered during my installation of Aegir 0.3 that one of the commands that the wizard instructs to be issued during the installation:

fails with the most recent beta release of Drush because commands with spaces have been deprecated in Drush. The deprecation can be overriden for the time being by changing a configuration parameter in drushrc.php; namely

SSL is considered an experimental feature in aegir. It can be enabled during the aegir installation process or via admin/build/modules/list.

The Hosting SSL module presents two options; 'Enable SSL encryption' and 'Redirect HTTP to HTTPS', on the add site screen and on the edit site screen.
In Aegir 0.4 alpha6 these options are deselected by default on the add site screen; however, they are selected by default on the edit site screen. This automatic selection
on the edit site screen can cause all sites on an Apache server to become unavailable. See http://groups.drupal.org/node/53903

I am trying to install 0.3. I have followed the Debian instructions for my Ubuntu 9.10 system. After completing all the installation steps and pointing my browser to the correct url and choosing the hostmaster install profiles, I get this error:

Lines 53 through 56 in path.inc are:


53 // Use $count to avoid looking up paths in subsequent calls if there simply are no aliases
54 if (!isset($count)) {

Okay, I'm installing aegir (0.4alpha6) on my desktop (running Ubuntu 9.10 (Desktop edition)).

I have thus far followed the install.txt.

Now I am at the point of installing the hostmaster profile. After the page where I create uid 1 access information (and other general site information) then I get an error message:

Could not resolve IP address of gandalf.travisnanek.com:8080. Either set the server name to a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) or hardcode the IP here.

I have installed this several times and keep running into the same problem. I get through the whole installation process, verify the site, import the initial site, and then when it verifies it again, I get this error:

The database type '' is unsupported. Please use either 'mysql' or 'mysqli' for MySQL, or 'pgsql' for PostgreSQL databases.

The IP address (and main domain name) of my server points to a different document (/var/www/) root than the aegir installation (/var/aegir/hostmaster-0.4-alpha6/). I am using a subdomain to point to that folder.

I am trying to install Aegir for the first time, and am having troubles with it verifying sites. My system is a fedora kernal. I have checked the hosting/queues page and it shows the queues are enabled, but having never ran.

Cron tab for aegis user looks like:

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
*/1 * * * * /drush/drush.php hosting-dispatch --root='/mnt/aegir/hostmaster-0.4-alpha6' --uri='http://www.mysite.com'

aegir user has ownership of all files in the /mnt/aegir directory.
