Aegir installation seems difficult at first, but once you get around it, it's fairly simple. It's 3 basic steps::

  1. Install requirements
  2. Configure system requirements, which include::
    • create a Aegir user
    • configure Apache (or Nginx with PHP-FPM), MySQL, DNS, etc
  3. Run the install script.

A few points just on installing drush with RedHat 6 that I seem to run in to every time.

When I try to discover the pear channel as aegir user I get could not create lock file: fopen(/usr/share/pear/.lock): failed to open stream: Permission denied

I also get the following after I make the aegir user owner of the .lock file

pear channel-discover pear.drush.org
Discovering channel pear.drush.org over http:// failed with message: channel-add: adding Channel "pear.drush.org" to registry failed
Trying to discover channel pear.drush.org over https:// instead
Discovery of channel "pear.drush.org" failed (channel-add: Cannot open "https://pear.drush.org/channel.xml" (Connection to `pear.drush.org:443' failed: Connection refused))

I can add it with root user but when installing drush I get

pear install drush/drush-5.8.0
Cannot install, php_dir for channel "pear.drush.org" is not writeable by the current user

I always have to install drush as root and then modify ownership/permissions to aegir user. Is the documentation wrong, or am I missing something?

Also, for drush 5 it seems that 'http://download.pear.php.net/package/Console_Table-1.1.3.tgz' is a dependency!
