ds script

The ds script will build your local environment using the DoSomething installation profile.

ds --help will list out all of the various options for the script including:

• Running the build with a clean database

• Running the build and using your existing database

The ds script creates a html directory in the working folder, which serves as the root directory of your localhost:8888. It contains the Drupal codebase which is downloaded from drupal.org when the make files are run, including the contrib modules defined in the drupal-org.make file.

Contributed and custom modules, themes, and libraries will be found in the html/profiles/dosomething directory. The "html/profiles/dosomething/modules/dosomething" directory is a symlink to the root directory "modules/dosomething", as is the corresponding themes directory (See #51)

Note: If you're editing files in dosomething-mount/lib but the browser doesn't reflect your changes, you may have run ds from the /vagrant/bin directory (muy incorrecto). To fix this, simply log in into your vagrant box and repeat "Application Setup" step 2 again.

Note: Do not use sudo when running the ds script as ownership and access settings are important to the script which should be setup as part of the script process. Doing a fresh ds build --install will reset all of the ownership / access settings.

Drush

To run drush commands, you must be within the Vagrant instance, and in the webroot:

cd /var/www/dev.dosomething.org/html

MySQL

To run MySQL, you must do so as root:

mysql -uroot
USE dosomething;
SHOW TABLES;

If you're feeling drush-y:

cd /var/www/dev.dosomething.org/html
drush sql-cli

Additionally, you can connect with sql pro / Sequel Pro or other sql tools with credentials:

• MySQL Host: dev.dosomething.org
• Username: root
• Password: (none)
• Database: dosomething
• Port: 3306
• SSH Host: dev.dosomething.org
• SSH User: dosomething
• SSH Password: dosomething
• SSH Port: 2222
