drush requires php 5.3.3

[nlambert]

Hello,

I've just tried the vagrant-drupal project. Seems great. However, I'm getting this:

Your command line PHP installation is too old. Drush requires at [error]
least PHP 5.3.3.

Any thoughts?

By default, the chef-drush cookbook will install the latest stable version of drush. Since vagrant-drupal hasn't been updated in a long time, it's still using Ubuntu 10.x. The quickest solution would be to pin drush to a specific version that doesn't require PHP 5.3. This would be done in your Vagrantfile by specifying a json node attribute. Somewhere in this array. This is from the chef-drush cookbook documentation:

node[‘drush’][‘version’] - Drush version of format x.y.z when install_method is pear (eg. 5.0.0).

But in the end, vagrant-drupal hasn't kept up with Vagrant either, so it might be an effort in futility if you're trying to use it with a modern version of Vagrant (1.1 or greater).
