Drush termination - unrecoverable error - cannot bootstrap sites, which are: uninstalled or have unconfigured databases

Tagged:

While attempting to clone a drupal-7.22 site using Aegir running on a Linode, I encountered the following error. Installing and migrating sites resulting in similar errors. The database server is localhost. A google search revealed similar unrecoverable errors which other individuals faced when attempting to install a site using drush.

Aegir was functioning properly just a few weeks earlier, and no major system changes have been made since.

Any idea how this may have occurred? The error message suggests that the issue can be resolved by selecting another site with a working database setup. Would this resolve my problem? How do I avoid this issue moving forward?

Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error.
Drush was not able to start (bootstrap) the Drupal database. Hint: This may occur when Drush is trying to: * bootstrap a site that has not been installed or does not have a configured database. In this case you can select another site with a working database setup by specifying the URI to use with the --uri parameter on the command line. See drush topic docs-aliases for details. * connect the database through a socket. The socket file may be wrong or the php-cli may have no access to it in a jailed shell. See http://drupal.org/node/1428638 for details.
