Sign up for a site

Just after installing aegir 0.3 on Linux Gentoo system and setup a new platform, I get the following error while signing up for a new site: "Please fill in a valid profile". What's going wrong with my aegir system ?

I have an other problem with crontab update. Aegir user don't have rights for crontab update. Is there something to do that is not discribed in the install document?

Regards

Common Installation and Configuration Errors

Installation and configuration of Aegir is not yet the simplest task any of us will tackle in our lifetimes. Making a mistake during the installation of Aegir or drush is easy to do, and these tips identify the most common mistakes. (These tips were moved here from the Bug Reporting Guidelines page.)

The Aegir User

  • Make sure you have an aegir user (who we call the Aegir User) and that the Aegir User is properly configured on your server:

Database User Privileges

I am running 0.4-alpha7. I am trying to migrate a site from D6.14 to D6.16 and have encountered two problems:

<

ol>

  • The mysqldump fails because the database user does not have LOCK TABLES privilege. I am not aware that this privilege is required by Drupal, so I'm assuming that the privilege is needed by the mysqldump script created by Aegir during a migrate. Is this correct? Is the requirement for this privilege documented?

    Any suggestions for setting files directory permissions with Aegir?

    One of my platforms requires the files directory to be owned by www-data. There must be a hook somewhere that will let me automate running this every time I create a new installation of this particular platform:

    $ cd /var/aegir/platforms/myplatform/sites/mynewinstallation.com/
    $ chown -R www-data.www-data files/

    Any suggestions?

    fixing file permission errors

    I've been receiving minor warnings whenever I try and verify a site. If there's even a single file without the correct aegir:www-data permissions, you'll get a yellow warning when the site verifies. The most common one I see is:

    Could not change permissions sites/mydomain.com to 493 (chmod to 755 failed on sites/mydomain.com)

    If you're new to Aegir like me but want to get rid of the file permissions error, you can try these commands:

    cd /var/aegir/platforms/drupal-6.16/sites

    chown -R aegir:www-data mydomain.com/*

    Importing Existing Website Problem(s)

    Attempting to import and existing drupal-6.10 site to aegir following the directions in this post: http://groups.drupal.org/node/24992 (Using option B)

    Step 1: Transfer the Codebase:

    I've successfully transferred the Codebase (I think!)

    Step 2: Transfer the Database:

    According to the directions, I should create a new database for the imported site and import the .sql file from the site I am importing, and then create a user, using the same username from the old site and grant appropriate permissions.
