My Personal Vagrant Setup

A basic Ubuntu 12.04 Vagrant setup with PHP 5.5 and MySQL 5.5. PHP 5.4 w/ Apache 2.2 is available on the php54 branch.

Requirements

• VirtualBox - Free virtualization software Download Virtualbox
• Vagrant 1.3+ - Tool for working with virtualbox images Download Vagrant
• Git - Source Control Management Download Git

Setup

• Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/pedrommone/my-vagrant-setup.git
• (you can change the database settings inside the vagrant-install.sh file)
• run vagrant up inside the newly created directory
• (the first time you run vagrant it will need to fetch the virtual box image which is ~300mb so depending on your download speed this could take some time)
• You can verify that everything was successful by opening http://localhost in a browser

Note: You may have to change permissions on the www/app/storage folder to 777 under the host OS

For example: chmod -R 777 www/app/storage/

Vagrant

Vagrant is very well documented but here are a few common commands:

• vagrant up starts the virtual machine and provisions it
• vagrant suspend will essentially put the machine to 'sleep' with vagrant resume waking it back up
• vagrant halt attempts a graceful shutdown of the machine and will need to be brought back with vagrant up
• vagrant ssh gives you shell access to the virtual machine

Virtual Machine Specifications

• OS - Ubuntu 12.04
• Apache - 2.4.6
• PHP - 5.5.4
• MySQL - 5.5.3
