Installation of BOA freezes after initial installation command

[egoosmann]

Hi,

While installing a fresh instance of BOA I encountered a weird hangup.

After the boa in-stable command the system just hangs and nothing is reported/updated during this time.

I decided to try and see if there were any logs in /var/backups, but it only contained the mirrors file. After checking all the links in that file, I saw that au.files.aegir.cc wasn't responding, which is causing the entire setup to hang. After removing the mirror from the file, the BOA installation works again!

I have the same issue

The install is stuck on Drush

The issue is composer

You get prompted:

Changed current directory to /opt/tools/drush/9/drush
Do not run Composer as root/super user! See https://getcomposer.org/root for details
Continue as root/super user [yes]? yes

Have exactly the same problem here. After installing the BOA Head on a completely new Debian Stretch VM, a reboot was performed. Then as described in the instructions "barracuda up-head system" executed. The system hangs at the point "Drush 9.7.2 re-installation required".

Does anyone know a solution here?

[lexsoft00]

You need to enable _DEBUG_MODE=YES in /root/.barracuda.cnf

Then you will see the prompt from the composer, after just type yes.

If it does not work, then run only "barracuda up-head"
