We also introduce a number of new features and finally drop support for provisioning Drupal 5 sites completely (for real this time!). Along the way, we did quite a bit of API cleanup. While we are in feature freeze, we have continued to add some UI improvements, since they don't affect the API.read more [Less]

We have Aegir provision our sites when we want them created. Several of our developers have been having problems with the custom theme being reverted back to the default theme.

So I have been asked if there is a way for aegir to not use passwordless ssh with keys to move files around. "if there's a way to specify what ssh program to use or what remote-copy program, either prefix it with that k5start stuff (maybe fully ... [More] qualfied: /usr/local/bin/k5start) or, if it only allows you to specify a command without arguments, then create a wrapper script that does k5start -q -U -f /path/to/keytab -- /path/to/program/that/uses/ssh ${1+"$@"} after creating the relevant principal in the Kerberos database and extracting the key read more [Less]

How to run any custom php file directly on a browser? I got 403 Forbidden error when running these files. Thank you

I also have a fileserver that I want to use to store my files on (prod has write privileges, stage & dev read) since my site contains several gigabytes of ... [More] uploaded files. The fileserver is mounted on the 3 webservers at the exact same mount point. I keep stumbling upon problems when trying to set everything up like I described above. So what is the recommended way to share files over multiple webservers using AEgir without the need that they are transferred/duplicated by AEgir scripts? [Less]

A week ago this worked fine and as far as I know nothing has ... [More] been changed with core content/modules. I did some comparisons in looking at the task log between the failed install and a successful install (from a week ago). The simplexml load and "Could not download project status information" is weird. Here's what I gathered so far. Task install log looks identical until near the end.read more [Less]
