trouble using head's install.sh...

I had exactly the same issue as above including the issues with su. I copied the settings file from default.settings.php but now I get the error "Could not select the mysql database." If I run drush from the command line I also do not get hosting or provision commands available. I have attached the website screen shot for the verify task. If I run the php command sudo -u aegir php /var/aegir/drush/drush.php --root='/var/aegir/drupal-6.14' 'provision' 'verify' --backend from the terminal I get the following output:

DRUSH_BACKEND_OUTPUT_START>>>{"output":"","error_status":1,"log":[{"type":"bootstrap","message":"Drush bootstrap phase : _drush_bootstrap_drush()","timestamp":1255900884.57,"error":null},{"type":"bootstrap","message":"Drush bootstrap phase : _drush_bootstrap_drupal_root()","timestamp":1255900884.62,"error":null},{"type":"notice","message":"Initialized Drupal 6.14 root directory at \/var\/aegir\/drupal-6.14","timestamp":1255900884.66,"error":null},{"type":"bootstrap","message":"Drush bootstrap phase : _drush_bootstrap_drupal_site()","timestamp":1255900884.67,"error":null},{"type":"notice","message":"Initialized Drupal site default at sites\/default","timestamp":1255900884.67,"error":null},{"type":"bootstrap","message":"Drush bootstrap phase : _drush_bootstrap_drupal_configuration()","timestamp":1255900884.68,"error":null},{"type":"notice","message":"Undefined index: driver","timestamp":1255900884.69,"error":null},{"type":"notice","message":"Undefined index: driver","timestamp":1255900884.69,"error":null},{"type":"bootstrap","message":"PDO support available, but the driver has not been installed.

I used the install.sh from head (as linked from the install instructions) on a ubuntu NBR 9.04 - provision is in /var/aegir/.drush and there does not seem to be any permissions issue. Is there any more info I can provide.

TIA,

I can confirm both of the problems discussed in this thread.

Adding to the op, when I "su -s /bin/sh aegir, there's a $ only instead of the usual aegir@server" and if I run whoami it does not come back with "aegir". So it's not clear how to run the drush command at the end of the install as the aegir user.

Commenting on jamiet's additional issue (even though it's off topic) I was also thrown off because the wizard had defaulted the aegir super mysql user with "aegir" and I think I should have changed it to "aegir_root".

Apologies if my comment seemed off topic but I was experiencing the exact issue the op had at first (except for the cache issue). When I noticed the error relating to not finding ./site/default/settings.php I referred to the manual instructions and it had a couple of commands as follows:

touch /var/aegir/drupal-6./sites/default/settings.php
chmod 0777 /var/aegir/drupal-6./sites/default/settings.php

I did this and then got the mysql errors so I assumed it was all related and did not want to fill up the issue queue unnecessarily. I will post a separate issue relating to this and keep an eye on this one in case they are related.

With the above aside I still believe I am suffering with the same issue (on top of the above) as OP as I when I run drush (either drush or /var/aegir/drush/drush.php) I do not have any of the hosting or provision commands listed. My provision folder is in /var/aegir/.drush/provision and the owner/group is aegir etc. If there is more info I can provide / dig into let me know.

TIA,

Thanks for the prompt response mig5. I was able to login to the aegir host environment and install the hostmaster profile so I assume the install.sh script set these files up correctly. Checking ls-al I noticed that the files directory and settings.php were still in the aegir group so I issued your commands just to be on the safe side.

The reference to ./default/settings.php was based on the fact that when trying to verify the platform post install I get the error could not find sites/default/settings.php and when checking the manual installation instructions (wiki page http://groups.drupal.org/node/25485) under the "Configure Apache" section I found the instructions to touch a settings.php file in sites/default/". I did this and the error changed to cannot select mysql database (separate issue which I will raise).

If I issue the platform verify command on the command line as follows:
sudo -u aegir php /var/aegir/drush/drush.php --root='/var/aegir/drupal-6.14' 'provision' 'verify' --debug

I get the following output:

This implies that the

I use the sudo -u aegir as if I try and su -s /bin/sh aegir I get placed into a shell which seems to behave strangely (I know this is a ubuntu issue). Would using sudo -u switch be causing problems?

Hope I can resolve this issue as once Aegir is running it seems pretty utopic to me ;).

If I su -s /bin/sh aegir, there's a $ only instead of the usual aegir@server

I experienced that too. This command is specifically requesting the use of /bin/sh the very basic shell on all unices - which is (as pointed out above) actually /bin/dash on ubuntu - end result is the same though, a very basic shell.

I got annoyed by the lack of tab completion and the fact that my delete keys stopped working and started using this instead:

su -s /bin/bash aegir

Well, I actually do this:

sudo su -s /bin/bash aegir

but you get the point.

It seems to me that deliberately dropping people into a poorly featured shell is causing problems. Perhaps specifying a more fully featured shell would help?

OK using sudo su -s /bin/bash aegir and then issuing the provision verify command gets me the following output:

php /var/aegir/drush/drush.php --root='/var/aegir/drupal-6.14' 'provision' 'verify' --debug

This seems to be a mysql credentials issue so will move this over to the other issue I have just created (http://drupal.org/node/608386). I guess the sudo -u aegir does not provide the command line with the full aegir user profile so it doesn't seem to work.

As an interesting aside now that I am using aegir 'proper' in the command shell issuing a drush command lists all of the hosting and provision commands.

HTH,

I think I have resolved my issues and hope the following helps qbnflaco and adrinux. In ubuntu sudo su -s /bin/sh aegir takes you to a basic (dash according to others) shell which does not seem to play nicely with drush. As a result adrinux suggested using the /bin/bash shell. So this is what I did to fix the issues:


sudo -s /bin/bash
cd /var/aegir/drupal-6.14
php /var/drush/drush.php --uri=http://aegir.loc --root='/var/aegir/drupal-6.14' hosting setup --debug
php /var/drush/drush.php --uri=http://aegir.loc --root='/var/aegir/drupal-6.14' provision verify --debug

This time I got no errors and when I go to the platform verify task on the web front end it is shown as successful. I think my specific issue revolved around issuing the hosting setup command using sudo -u aegir instead of su -s to a proper aegir user environment.

Hope this helps the rest of you having problems. Let me know if I can help or provide more info at all.

Hi - not meaning to sound pushy but did you try to enter each of the commands I entered in post 15 above. I found initially entering sudo su -s /bin/bash aegir did not resolve the verify issue because I had not run the "hosting setup" command as user aegir using the bash shell. Hosting setup seems to do a number of tasks (as well as crontab) and one of those tasks meant that drush could 'see' the hosting and provision commands.

If you enter the drush command with no options you get the command list do you see any hosting / provision commands? If not that is why the verify does not work.

If you haven't re-issued hosting setup try doing this as user aegir using the bash shell (as per comment above) then retry the task (or submit it on the command line as aegir using bash shell). I found doing the above fixed the problems I was having.

HTH,
