Note: Aegir is an installation / site management tool for drupal sites & platforms. See http://community.aegirproject.org/ for details.
This question may be down to an Aegir issue or a drush one; thoughts from either angle are welcome:
I've managed to create Aegir/drupal platforms via both the command line (see http://lists.aegirproject.org/pipermail/aegir/2011-January/000026.html) and web interface, and I can get sites to install with a selected profile through the web interface, but when I try to install a site via the command line it keeps resetting to the default profile. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?
I create a site alias:
drush --uri='demo.c.didev.co.uk' provision-save '@site_demo.c.didev.co.uk' --context_type=site --platform='@platform_dennis_generic_20110316b' --profile='myprofile' --db_server='@server_localhost' --client_email='[email protected]'
and it creates a valid alias file:
cat .drush/site_demo.c.didev.co.uk.alias.drushrc.php
<?php $aliases['site_demo.c.didev.co.uk'] = array (
'context_type' => 'site',
'platform' => '@platform_dennis_generic_20110316b',
'server' => '@server_master', 'db_server' => '@server_localhost',
'uri' => 'demo.c.didev.co.uk',
'root' => '/var/aegir/platforms/dennis_generic_20110316b/',
'site_path' => '/var/aegir/platforms/dennis_generic_20110316b//sites/demo.c.didev.co.uk',
'site_enabled' => true,
'language' => 'en',
'client_email' => '[email protected]',
'aliases' => array ( ),
'redirection' => false,
'profile' => 'myprofile', );
However, when I run "drush @hostmaster hosting-import @site_demo.c.didev.co.uk" it rewrites the alias file to "profile = default" and installs with the default profile!
Now, this is a pain but not a disaster as I can do the initial site creating via the web interface and it'll work, but I get apparently related errors when trying to migrate on the command line (per instructions at http://community.aegirproject.org/node/41) where it appears to not create an array of profiles and crashes (I'll post on that separately later) and wanted to rule out these problems before I tackle those.
So - am I doing something wrong, or is there just a bug?
