Help Understanding Aegir So I've been struggling with installing Aegir for about a week now, and trying to understand how it should work, and hopefully get it resolved. (BTW, here is a related issue if you're curious:  http://drupal.org/node/1202568 )

First, lay of the land:


RedHat 5.5
MySQL 5.5.13
Apache 2.x
PHP: 5.3.2


I am installing using this command

drush hostmaster-install --aegir_host=hostname --aegir_db_user=myadmin --aegir_db_pass=adminpasswd --aegir_root=/pathto/aegir


So my guesses of what needs to happen to get Aegir up and running:


Upon a successful install, there should be a sites/hostname directory where Aegir lives
This directory should contain a settings.php files
This settings.php file grabs the database credentials that are set in a file inside the vhost.d directory using SetEvn, right? The vhost.d directory is empty. But an entry is needed to get Aegir up and running, right?


Does this make sense? What am I missing?

It almost looks like the symbolic link they have you create in step 3.1.1, is not working correctly and may be causing this issue.

I don't know anything about the differences between Debian and RH 5.5, but maybe RE doesn't have a /etc/apache2/conf.d directory, in which case you would have to manually add an include line into httpd.conf

Cheers.
