General discussions

I wonder if anyone has seen this before and has some advice:

Using aegir 0.3 when I do a 'drush provision backup site.example.com', from either the Aegir web UI or from the webserver command line, the command fails with

An error occurred at function : drush_provision_drupal_provision_backup

A complete tar file is created in ~aegir/backups, but it is not gzipped. I believe gzip is dying. This just started happening on one of my servers. I think that there is plenty of memory available on the server (Ubuntu sever 8.04LTS):

  $ free -m

I am having issues cloning sites. I have narrowed it down to 2 senarios:

Works:
Create site from platfrom (i.e. Drupal 6.15)
Do nothing to it (virgin site)
Run Clone: it works

Doesn't Work:
Create site from platform
Do normal dev, install modules, themes etc...
- Modules are installed via Drush DL or FTP via SSH as root.
- Things like CKEditor need FTP uploads and can not be done solely by Drush
- This caused some ownership issues so ran verifiy, noted permission issues and made corrections via command-line
- Verify, backup and restore all work fine after resetting permissions
Run Clone: it fails with the error below (bolded)

It looks like the "Undefined index: driver" or "Undefined index: site_port" errors may be the culprit but I can't figure how to troubleshoot them (no google answers)

Here are the errors I'm getting:

Hello
(I'm french, excuse me if my English is not very good, I'll try to do my best)

I'm very glad to try Aegir, I think it will respond to my needs and wishes very soon !
A lot of thanks to the developers !

When I arrive at the end of the installation, I've got this message :

Ensure that you are logged into the shell as aegir, and then execute the following commands :

cd /var/aegir/drupal-6.15
/var/aegir/.drush/provision --uri=http://aegir.monsite.com hosting setup

But when I do this, I've got an error message :

We have successfully installed aegir by point dbserver to the localhost. But we need to change the dbserver to another machine. I want to check if there is a way to do some minor configuration changes so that the existing installation will work with new db server.

I made following changes:

In /var/aegir/hostmaster-6.x-0.4-alpha3/drushrc.php file

Changed options['master_db'] = 'mysql://aegir:aegir@localhost'; to
$options['master_db'] = 'mysql://aegir:aegir@96.31.74.44';

Where 96.31.74.44 is the dbserver host.

Hi,

I'm excited to start using Aegir, and was about to give myself a pat on the back for getting it up and running, but it looks like the final installation tasks are thwarting my effort.

Namely, I can't get the Drush command:

To do anything!

When I run with --debug, I get the following:


Drush bootstrap phase : _drush_bootstrap_drupal_root() [0.04 sec] [bootstrap]

Set up SSL with this tutorial: http://groups.drupal.org/node/25038

Installed the certs as instructed here: http://www.positivessl.com/ssl-certificate-support/cert_installation/apa...

Fair warning: I'm a relative noob when it comes to server admin.

I have a server running ubuntu 9.04 and aegir. In order to do work on the server, I have to login with my own username and password over SSH, switch to the aegir user (who cannot login to the server), and then do what I need to. I'm working on a module right now, and it's very annoying to go through that entire rigamarole in order to do my work. I also have a guy working on a theme, and I had to change the theme owner to something other than aegir in order for him to be able to SFTP in and do his work.

This might not be MAMP specific, but I was wondering is anyone else has come across this issue. I've been able to install aegir locally using MAMP on my mac, however once installed and it tries to verify the aegir site it fails with with this error...

I know this is a bit of a cross post from a bug I submitted for the provision module on d.o (http://drupal.org/node/670088), but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this before. I used provision deply to create a production site from a dev site, only issue is not all of the images were showing up. I went into the db and manually got them all pointing to the production folder, however they all disappeared when I did that. Pointed back to dev, they are all there. For some reason it didn't like any folder but the dev folder. I checked permissions and it all looks right.

I have an old site for a client that is still on d5 that I've just moved on to aegir. My client has image galleries that use the import function of the image module. I don't yet have any FTP setup for the client on aegir. I'm hosting on slicehost with ubuntu 9.04. What's the best way to set this up?

Thanks in advance!
