Aegir + ISPConfig
Hi,
Aegir looks great beyond belief and I am seriously keen to try it out. However, I run ISPConfig on my server and I think the two will clash. Any thoughts/suggestions?
Cheers.

i do not know ispconfig
i do not know ispconfig pretty well, but out of the box, aegir is designed to run standalone, on a dedicated server (or vserver). The main reason is that it creates its own apache virtual hosts (in a separate directory, but still) that may conflict with the ones created by an already existing control panel. there may also be conflicts in the database server, because Aegir creates databases on the fly (one for each drupal install, named site_X where X is the node number of the site node).
It will also eventually create similar problems with DNS when that is supported again in Aegir (post 0.3).
currently investigating this
I'm having exactly the same doubts (with ISPconfig 3 btw) about this and am investigating the issue.
Will report back any findings!
It might be not so bad though. We already use an external dns-tool instead of the one in ISPconfig, and in ISPconfig 3, everything is set-up independently. So if you create a database, it isn't linked to a site (which is the case in ispconfig 2).
Tried Webmin?
I have been useing Aegir along site Webmin for a while now on several servers. No problems whatsoever and I believe webmin has a ton more features than ispconfig. Just wanted to let you know there are options that do not conflict. So if your not married to ispconfig check it out .. its free too.
