Unable to remove site because dropping database fails. After Aegir failed, I tried removing the database using Chive. However, I get the error Dropping database failed. Can't remove ./directory. I googled this problem, and I should go to the file system to remove the database directory entirely manually. However, where is the database files on a BOA setup?

I don't think it is anything BOA related.

Quick hint - since the database most probably doesn't exist already, check: http://omega8.cc/aegir-task-fails-or-spins-forever-126

MySQL usually installs databases in /var/lib/mysql under Debian, although I have no idea what system you are using.

If Aegir can't remove the database, I think it's fair that it fails the task - there's something wrong with your MySQL server it seems... garbage in, garbage out! :)
