I was setting up a static mobile website for a Drupal site that was installed within the Aegir hosting environment today. We had been given a static mobile version of the website to load. So, we added the mobile site to a directory within our theme and we needed to setup an alias for this site. To accomplish this we created a new mysite.drush.inc file within the .drush folder and added the following code: 


function MYSITE_provision_apache_vhost_config($uri, $data) {
  if ($uri == 'www.MYSITE.com'){
    $mobile_path = d()->site_path . '/themes/MY-THEME-PATH/mobile-directory';
    
    return array(
      '',
      '# Mobile site alias setup',
      '',
      'Alias /mobile-site ' . $mobile_path,
      '',
      '',
      '  DirectoryIndex index.php',
      '',
      '',
      '# End mobile site alias',  
    );
  }
}
The key here is the 
 d()->site_path
which will return the platform path that the current site is installed in. So, we won't need to update this whenever the platform changes. References: - http://community.aegirproject.org/dev-cheat-sheet
