Vagrant LAMP

Basic LAMP development stack for Vagrant.

Installation

1. Install vagrant from vagrantup.com

2. Download and Install VirtualBox from virtualbox.org or use VMware Fusion

3. Ubuntu developer tools (If you're running ubuntu, skip if using Windows)

   $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms
   

4. Clone this repository to a folder of your choice (I have it in my user folder)

5. Add this row to your local machine's "hosts" file (Linux/Mac: "/etc/hosts")

   192.168.30.10 local.dev
   

6. Install helper plugins

   • Guest Additions Assists with folder syncing and various OS improvements

   $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
   

7. Install helper gems

   • Librarian to automatically handle Chef cookbooks.

   $ gem install librarian-chef
   

8. Open Vagrantfile and uncomment/comment changes specific to your environment, some things to look for:

   • Choose OS, the default is Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty.) Comment trusty, uncomment the lines for precise32 if you want to use that instead.
   • Ram Adjustments
   • Port Mapping
   • Synced Folders

9. Open bootstrap.sh and comment/uncomment changes to your specific setup.

10. Go to the repository folder and run librarian-chef install to download all required cookbooks.

    $ cd [repo]
    $ librarian-chef install
    

11. Still inside the repository [repo] folder, start the provisioning process

    $ vagrant up
    

12. Wait for vagrant to download, start and provision your virtual machine (this can take a while)

13. When the setup is done you can visit your local development host at http://local.dev/

14. Any files you add to the folder sites/local.dev/ will be visible at http://local.dev/

15. Now you can configure your own sites, see the configuration section below.

What's inside

Notes

The vagrant machine is set to use IP 192.168.30.10 by default.

If your firewall blocks port 80 incoming, uncomment #config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 8080 in Vagrantfile before provisioning * Sites would then be accessable via http://local.dev:8080/ or * You can use Fiddler to setup an outgoing proxy that you can use to still access http://local.dev/ * Download Fiddler * Goto Tools > Hosts * Check the box that say: Override remapping... * Add these lines. Fiddler also allows wildcard usage if you want to get fancy. You'll have to read their documentation. $ 192.168.30.10:8080 local.dev * Save and it should work correctly.

Port 33066 is forwarded to MySql, with a default vagrant/vagrant user so you can use your favorite client to administer databases.

Sites configuration

Site configurations are stored in the sites-conf folder. These conf files get copied over to the apache sites-enabled folder.

Whenever you need to apply new configurations all you need to do is run the provisioning again.

$ vagrant provision

Laravel

laravel new command will create a fresh Laravel installation in the directory you specify. For instance, laravel new blog would create a directory named blog containing a fresh Laravel installation with all dependencies installed.
