How do I create a new site in Aegir?

Once logged in to the aegir web interface, you can add a site if you're not already at your account's quota.

1. Click on the "Sites" tab
2. Near the top of page, click the link "Add site"
3. Fill in the form
   1. Enter your site's domain name (eg. monsite.com)
   • The domain name does not need to point already to the server, but it will only be accessible through an alias unless that is the case
   • Unless all domain names and aliases point to the server, SSL cannot be enabled.
   1. Select the platform: choose which version of Drupal you would like to install

   2. Enter any aliases your site might need (eg. www.monsite.com). An alias for accessing the site at "monsite-com.aegir3.koumbit.net" will be added automatically afterwards.
   3. Click save on the bottom of the page
4. A task has been created to install your site. You'll see a gray entry in the right-sidebar. After a few minutes, it should turn green or yellow and your site will be accessible.
