Cake3 - Another vagrant vm

This is the configuration for the virtual machine used in the development of my cake3 projects.

The box was generated by Puphpet

Requirements

This virtual machine requires

• VirtualBox version >=5.1.6
• Vagrant version >= 1.8.6

Vagrant should be available in your PATH.

Installation

• Download and unzip this in your working directory (i.e : ~/dev/my_project/)
• If you use this box for another project, open config/puphpet.yml and change the last number of the ip adress on line 26. You may change the box name too, so replace every occurences of my-cake3-project by something else.

First launch

You'll need an active internet connection for this step

1. Go to your working directory and unzip the vm config file
2. Create a data/html folder. This folder will be the DocumentDir of Apache on the vm. It is excluded from the VM's git.
3. Run vagrant up in the working directory. That will run the provisionner (setup of desired packages, server configuration, etc...).
4. Optionnal but good to do: Have some coffee during the launch and edit your hosts file to add this line at the end: 192.168.56.200 my-cake3-project.dev - Linux: /etc/hosts - Mac: need feedback, but it should be the same. - Windows: need feedback
5. When done, test the virtual machine: - try vagrant ssh from console. You should land in the VM. Type exit to quit it. - Open your browser and test the following adresses http://192.168.56.200, http://my-cake3-project.dev. You should land on a dummy file.
6. When the first launch is done, delete the data/html/index.html file and go to the next step.

Install Cake

The easiest way to install Cake is to use Composer. It is already installed in the VM.

1. Log in the virtual machine with vagrant up
2. Go to the server root directory: cd /var/www/html
3. Create your new app: composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app .
4. Edit the file config/app.php and use these credentials for DB: - host: localhost - user: vagrant - password: 123 - database: vagrant Use the same for the test db, but set database to vagrant_test
5. Open your browser and go to http://192.168.56.200 (or http://my-cake3-project.dev if you updated your hosts file).
6. Check the page and check if everything is ok.
7. You can now start working. The cake directory is in <path_to_your_vm>/data/html.

Start/stop the vm:

• To start the vm: vagrant up
• To suspend it: vagrant suspend
• To stop it: vagrant halt
• To force stop: vagrant halt -f
• To destroy the VM: vagrant destroy. Note that this command will preserve the development files, but you'll lose all the database.

Access the machine via SSH:

If you need to access the virtualbox via SSH, the simple way is to use vagrant ssh

If you need to access it ie, for Mysql Workbench, the public key is puphpet/files/dot/ssh/id_rsa.pub

Configure Mysql Workbench:

If you want to use Mysql Workbench, create a new connection with these settings:

• Connection method: Standard TCP/IP over SSH
• SSH hostname: 192.168.56.200
• SSH Key file: select <path_to the vm>/puphpet/files/dot/ssh/id_rsa
• Mysql Hostname: localhost
• Username: vagrant
• Password: 123
• Default schema: vagrant

Machine specifications:

• Ram: 512Mo
• Host: training-fight
• Ip adress: 192.168.56.200
• Shared folders:
  • ./data/ in the vm folder leads to /var/www/ on the vm
  • ./ leads to /vagrant
• User:
  • name: vagrant
  • password: 123
• Apache:
  • Version: 2.4
  • Server name: my-cake3-project.dev alias www.my-cake3-project.dev
  • Webroot: /var/www/html
• PHP:
  • Version: 7.0
  • Modules: cli, intl, xml
  • Logs: /var/log/php-fpm.log
• xdebug: port 9000
• Mysql:
  • Version: 5.7
  • user: vagrant
  • pass: 123
• Sqlite
• Paquets supplémentaires:
