General discussions

I found some information @ drupal.org/cron but wonder if this is the right way to do it in the Aegir system?

Running cron as an authenticated user


SITE= site-url
USERNAME=user.name
PASS=ChangeMe!!12

COOKIES=/tmp/cron-cookies.txt
WGETPARAMS="--quiet -O /dev/null --no-check-certificate --save-cookies $COOKIES --keep-session-cookies --load-cookies $COOKIES"

if you run drupal in a default language different than English you need to modify this

LOGIN="Log%20in"

wget $WGETPARAMS "${SITE}user"

Hi,

I have been able to get Aegir installed and it works fine to provision sites on the standard Drupal 6.19 platform. But I added the latest Open Atrium, Tattler, ProsePoint, Pressflow, and ManagingNews distributions. I have tested and retested them, searched the Internet, and I still can't get any of them to work. Drupal 6.19 works fine. The following is the error I get when trying to install Open Atrium. The Drupal Status Report shows my PHP Memory Limit set to 128M. Your kind assistance is very appreciated, as always!

Is it possible to log into an Aegir site remotely and add/node using cURL?

Apparently, this can be done on a D6 site:

http://drupal.org/node/80548
http://drupal.org/node/89710

Any reason it would not work with Aegir?

I'm in the process of finalizing a simple GIT workflow in our Aegir environment and have stumble into a bit a road block giving Drush capability. We are building on the multi-user setup recommended by mig5 (http://perlucida.com/blog/software/four-tips-for-developing-drupal-under...) that takes advantage of the group permissions set by Provision (and adding developers to the "aegir" group) in the /sites directories. This combined with dropping some .git repos in the site root seems to be working pretty good for us so far but none of the dev users can use Drush.

hi there

is there a way to set other compression then gzip for backups?

i'd like to use lzma which provides the best compression (in debian/ubuntu is instaled by default with minimal install)

We have 2 Aegir servers, one for development work and one for production work. Currently the transition from a dev site over to the production server is quite cumbersome. First, we rsync the updated codebase over, then we copy the database over via mysqldump, then we import the codebase as a platform, which imports the site.

I could not find anywhere specified for posting support requests? Is there an official place for this?

I am having trouble installing Aegir- I have followed the instructions down to where I am supposed to run install.sh.txt, (sudo su -s /bin/bash aegir -c "sh install.sh.txt") but when I run the comand, I get an error- "Can't open install.sh.txt"

I have double and triple checked to make certain that CHMOD has set the permissions.

If anyone has any ideas, they would be most appreciated!

I need to be able to control site users' bandwidth and diskspace usage.

At this point we are primarily concerned with bandwidth.
I thought I'd get some feedback on how I'm thinking about solving this issue:

• Create a module for Aegir that requires Apache module mod_cband (http://codee.pl/cband.html).
• Module provides a settings panel per site that allows for bandwidth limits to be set.
• Module implements hook_provision_apache_vhost_config which generates vhost config for each site that reflects the bandwidth settings.

And advanced features:

What is a good forum to ask about / help correct problems found in the Aegir install scripts?

I am just starting out with drupal 6.17, but the current Aegir install scripts are generating errors under php 5.3.1:

strtotime(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are required to use the date.timezone

Hey everyone,

I have, what I hope is a simple question regarding databases user permissions for setting up a remote web and databases server.
