General discussions

Hey,

I spent this weekend setting up Aegir. Really nice I must say, this thing will be a real life safer for future projects. I am running it on Ubuntu 10 (64 bit) and I can deploy Drupal 6 and 7 sites with ease. Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me get Druapl 5 verified, I keep running into the same issue:

syntax error, unexpected BOOL_TRUE in /var/aegir/drupal-5.23/modules/node/node.info on line 3 packages_5.inc:9
Drush command could not be completed.

Output from failed command : Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in

I have attempted to describe the Aegir Architecture and File System Structure in two wiki pages. Please let me know if this is useful and what comments or questions you have.

I just upgraded to alpha13, and I notice that redirection is no longer working.
* In the edit form for a site, the redirection field has converted the "checkbox" to a "hidden" field so I cannot edit the parameter.
* Also, the database table "hosting_site_alias" has a redirection column and my sites are set from before, but this has no effect.
* Upon investigation, I notice in provision/http/apache/vhost.tpl.php, the redirection code is commented out.

What has happened, and how do I enable my sites with aliases to redirect to the main URL again?

Thanks for the awesome work!

I've narrowed down the issue we are having with this upgrade, but I don't know the best way to fix the issue to successfully upgrade. The errors we are getting are related to "hosting_update_6009" and "hosting_web_server_update_6002". I've attached the log, without debugging/verbose.

I download the latest version of Aegir system (0.4-alpha13) and Provision (0.4-alpha13)..

I create user "aegir" and add to group "www-data" and home folder is "/var/aegir". I extract file install.sh.txt from provision-0.4-alpha13.tgz to /var/aegir.

I change to user "aegir" and run the install file:

su -s /bin/bash - aegir
sh install.sh

The setup is run OK. But at the end of task, I get the error. Please give me solution to fix this error.

This is the setup:

I am currently maintaining a few sites using aegir, and one of these sites is going to be passed to another group of developers on a new host in the near future. I would like to know how best to migrate the site to the new hosting environment (which will not be needing aegir, as it's a single site).

It is my understanding that aegir uses a different settings.php format than a standalone drupal site. I am willing to modify the file, however I am not sure how to do so or what other issues I need to be taking into account.

I'm using Aegir to manage development and staging environments (by cloning the live site to additional domain names / platforms). I would like these additional development and staging environments to be password protected. How can I do this (is it currently possible) with Aegir, without having to resort to installing and configuring securesite on the additional environments?

Hi everyone,

If you're like me, you struggle to keep up with GDO, and you often miss conversations on IRC due to timezone differences.

Good news: the Aegir Project now have mailing lists for those of you who prefer it!

Visit the list of mailing lists at http://lists.aegirproject.org.

We've a general 'aegir' list for support, discussion and announcements, as well as an 'aegir-dev' list for the core dev team and those of you digging under the hood or extending the system.

I'm working on a new site, and I want to use Aegir for it (I'm already using aegir for several live sites).

The domain name of the site when launched will be www.example.com
The domain name of the site whilst I am developing it will be dev.mydomin.com

I've got a custom install profile inside my platform folder (drupal/profiles/custom_profile/custom_profile.profile). When I go to the Aegir add site form I see a listing of install profiles from other platforms I have, including the Default drupal one, but I don't see my custom profile. Is there something special I need to do with my install profile to expose it to Aegir? I've re-verified the platform but this didn't help.

Thanks,
-Tim
