I installed omega8 aegir on linode about two weeks ago. Installation went great, much better than the other hosting companies I have tried. Great platform. I am able to setup new sites with little trouble.
But I have noticed some issues.
1... Sometimes a "create site" task will not complete and time out. But I resubmit the task and eventually the entire task will finish. I suspect adding extra hosting resources would resolve this issue.
2... This is a big issue. I had tried to add 3 sites, all using subdomains of a primary domain.
dom1.domain.com - OPENPublish
dom2.domain.com - Managing News
dom3.domain.com - prospoint
I am doing this to compare three distro's for a project in the works. This is what happened:
dom3.domain.com - prospoint installed, and sems to work fine. Except the username and password did not seem to install properly. strange. I have to look at the db to see what happened, but I can not log in from the start.
dom2.domain.com and dom1 eventually were installed, but never resolved.
SO eventually, I placed a delete task for dom2 and dom3... but they have been stick in delete now for 2 days.
I do not know how to delete the tasks manually.
In addition, the task manager seems to be frozen.
I suppose I can just trash everything and install from scratch. perhaps that would help.
