Hi,

Playing with Aegir - it is a great tool, but want to make it on steroids: use boost Boost and Cacherouter+APC as an user object cache for all sites. I will not touch Varnish for now.
What is the proper way to make config that works? Problem is, that I am changing "platforms" on Aegir rapidly and moving "sites" between them often, but haven't found the way to configure them globally.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I would like to test Aegir but I am having trouble installing on a Turnkey Linux Core Appliance running on Oracle VM VirtualBox.
I get through the entire install without a glitch. I am able to create a platform for atrium-1-0-beta6 and drupal-6.16.
Cron runs and the platforms verify. The problem occurs when I try to create a site. I add the site name and the path to the
drupal installation (e.g. /var/aegir/platforms/atrium-1-0-beta6). No matter which platform
I choose I always get the error "Please fill in a valid profile." I've tried reinstalling and various configuration changes

Hi,

After reading mig5ster's excellent info on his site about Aegir, Drush Make and Installation Profiles I have the following (at this moment theoretical) question:

Is it possible to create installation profiles with user input (forms) to specify the details of the site, use them with Aegir and a platform that incorporates this profile?

Since the installation of a site is done at the backend of Aegir (which is great off course), it seems impossible to have user input (e.g. custom names).

Is this correct or am I missing something?
Regards.

I'm new to Aegir and there are a couple things that are still unclear to me. Clearly Aegir will bring over modules in a specific site folder when you migrate a site, but what is the default handling of modules and themes in the "all" folder? I migrated a site from a drupal 6.15 platform to a 6.16 platform but it didn't touch the modules in the all folder.

Following a hostmaster upgrade the next step is to get the platforms and associated sites into the new front end (node/add/platform). The process creates a new platform_###.conf in /var/aegir/config/platform.d

The platform_###.conf files from the previous hostmaster install still exist. This causes multiple apache directives to be applied to the same directory.

The platform_###.conf files from the previous hostmaster install should be manually deleted following a hostmaster upgrade.

I'm in the process of installing Aegir (again, I'm learning - hitting walls/fixing etc).
Last time I installed, under the page 'Enable hosting features' and 'Experimental' fieldset there was an radio button option for 'Web Server' and 'Database Server', but I don't have those this time around.

Why would that be? How does the install process decide what options are available?

thanks

It would be nice to be able to add a description when creating a backup. This would make it easy to identify the current state of a site at that point.
It would also be nice to have the opportunity to rename the file that gets created.

Hi Everyone,

I've been reading a lot about Aegir lately, and I find it just a great tool which would save so much administration time. However, I still can't find a clear answer as to whether Aegir can administer remote sites as well. I have 6 different shared hosting accounts on different hosting companies all Drupal based. Now, can I use Aegir to administer the sites on all these hosting accounts? I get a feeling from documentation that Aegir can only manage Drupal installations which are local.

Hello,

Quickstart is a pre-packaged Drupal Development Environment. It's a Virtualbox vm that can be downloaded through bittorrent.

I just added a script to install Aegir 0.4a7. If you download and import the vm, cd ~/quickstart, cvs update, there is an aegir-install-0.4a7.sh script that installs Aegir on Ubuntu 10.04.
