  1. Never touch /data/aegir – it is the heart of your Aegir system and you need to familiarize with Aegir documentation first before trying to update/touch there anything.
  2. Never use core Aegir platform to create new sites, if you need basic 6.x install, there is Pressflow 6.x
  3. If you don’t know how to do what you want, check documentation first, and if that doesn’t help, ask for assistance.
  4. If you want to import existing site to Aegir, use 8 easy steps you can find above.
  5. Don’t try to update Aegir itself before you will create, crash and restore your first 10 sites.

Restart nginx via /etc/init.d/nginx restart will result in 400 Bar Request error.

What is proper way of restarting the server?

It depends

If you are using VPS configured by our team, you have Pound proxy on the front, so restarting only nginx is not always enough to get it working.

Try also:

service nginx stop
killall -9 nginx
service nginx start

service pound restart
service php-fpm restart

You can also run one, handy script:

sh /var/xdrago/enableStatus
