I'm having a problem where the same IP for SSL is being used on all servers in a webpack. I'm not sure if I found a bug or if I have just configured something incorrectly. I posted this bug report: https://drupal.org/node/2071317 I have searched ... [More] through the code and found how the IP address is fetched. It seems to be fetched from its association with the SSL certificate, and it will always grab the first IP associated with the certificate instead of attempting to find the correct IP associated with both the certificate and server. I'd appreciate any help! [Less]

I have a multisite install with 2 sites I need to import into Aegir. My Aegir server is Debian Squeeze with Aegir 1.10+246.efcd0a3, drush 4.5, PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze16 and MariaDB installed via apt-get and backports. It could be that I originally ... [More] installed the previous Aegir version (1.09 or something?), kicked its tires a bit (and went on vacation) and upgraded Aegir to 1.10 using apt-get dist-upgrade before trying this import - I'm not 100% sure. Hostmaster has hosting-queue-runner installed, but no other extras.read more [Less]

I'm running Aegir on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server. Projects[hostmaster][download][tag] = "6.x-1.9".

[More] aegir-provision mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server-5.5 mysql-server-core-5.5 A google search turned up a post that mentioned I need to run the apt-get dist-upgrade command to have Aegir upgrade but I'm worried this may break things... Is this indeed what I need to do? Or is the upgrade kept back for good reason? [Less]

Hi everyone, I am trying to get AEgir working on my VPS. It runs on Debian 7, AEgir has been installed via auto install (apt-get install aegir2). After install, i patched the RC2 of aegir as stated in the current release notes. 1/ I create new ... [More] platform, and a new site (example.com) in the platform. 2/ I clone the example.com to example2.com, into the same platform. If I verify both sites (example.com and example2.com), they both show the same database name. Is this how it should be?read more [Less]

When you 'delete' a platform or site in Aegir, you're really just changing a flag in the database. All of the tasks, packages, etc... associated with that entity remain in the database. After a while, this can lead to a very bloated DB. I've been ... [More] trying to triage the bloat using Hosting task garbage collection, but it occurs to me that it'd make more sense to just delete the old sites/platforms from the DB, and all of the bloat will go with them. So I'm thinking of writing a little module that just truly deletes (i.e.read more [Less]

Hello, I'm wondering, how I could get a working Drupal (maybe a backup already does the job?) out of Aegir, so that I can use this website in a non-aegir environment later on? Thanks, Chris
