--- useful with VirtualBox 5.1.10 or higher ---

LAMP Development Environment [using basic vagrant box (thanks to bento) and provision everything else]

• Ubuntu 16.04
• Apache2 w/ own SSL cert
• PHP7 w/ xdebug (running as php7.0-fpm)
• MySQL (MariaDB)
• FTP-Server (use FTP client - e.g. filezilla, choose sftp-protocol [ftp via SSH], use user and pass 'vagrant')
• Wordpress Stuff: wp-cli, php code sniffer with wp coding standards

! ONLY for local development. never use in production. no security measurements taken. !

QUICK START

• requirement: VirtualBox (virtualbox.org) and vagrant (vagrantup.com) installed
• recommended: 'vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater' (updates hosts file to use automatic vhosts in browser - e.g. test.mydev.local)
• throw this git contend in any folder you like to use for this dev machine
• go to this folder
• adapt 'vagrantfile' to your liking (hostname, IP, ...)
• call 'vagrant up' (Attention: with windows: OPEN CMD AS ADMIN!)
• look at the strange lines going by and hope everything goes fine...
• if no error msg appears: you are done!

USING PuTTY?

• Easiest way: SSH to the IP of your box with Port 22. Use 'vagrant' as user and 'vagrant' as passwort. You are in!
• Automate this with SSL key:
  • Execute PuTTYgen
  • Open Menu Conversions/Import Key. Choose file '[your_vagrant_dev_folder].vagrant\machines\default\virtualbox\private_key'
  • Click on 'Save private key'. Save it in the same place e.g. as 'my_insecure_private_key.ppk'
  • Execute PuTTY
  • Enter your host and port (e.g. '192.168.2.56' and port '22')
  • Go to 'Connection/Data' (on the left) - Enter 'vagrant' as auto-login user
  • Go to 'Connection/SSH/Auth' - Choose 'Browse'. choose the key you saved before (e.g. 'my_insecure_private_key.ppk')
  • Go to 'Session' - Enter a name in 'Saved Sessions' - Press 'Save'
  • Whenever you doubleclick on this name you should automatically get logged in.
  • There is a way to use the same key for all your machines. see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28471542/cant-ssh-to-vagrant-vms-using-the-insecure-private-key-vagrant-1-7-2

Using PHP CodeSniffer (with Wordpress Coding Standards)?

• 'phpcs' is globally available (in ~/.composer/vendor/bin)

Basic Wordpress installation

• Browse to 'basic.[yourhost]' (e.g. 'basic.mydev.local') to start configuring wordpress
• Database name: basicwpdb
• DB Wordpress user: wpuser pass: root

What does that mean???

The following is explained on the assumption that you started with the given preset.

• You will find a new Virtual Box called "my_dev" in VirtualBox which already started.
• An Apache2 Webserver with PHP and mySQL will be present
• Have a look further down for more details

What's in the box?

• A virtual ubuntu machine with 8GB RAM, 4 CPUs
• An IP address visible to your Host (192.168.5.5) and another IP network visible to other VMs
• Apache2, PHP5, mySQL5.5 installed
• xdebug is installed and configured.
• php5 comes with mcrypt, as well (needed for prestashop for instance)
• some php.ini settings changed. feel free to add yours
• Apache runs a virtual host at /var/www/html/staging (your project folder) which is shared with the folder from where you called 'vagrant up'

user, passwords, connections

users and passwords

SYSTEM

user: root -> no password user: vagrant -> pass: vagrant

MYSQL

user: root -> pass: root

connect to MYSQL from the outside world

easiest way is to use a tool like Navicat for MySQL setup a connection through a SSH tunnel. For the tunnel use: Host: 192.168.5.5, Port: 22, User: vagrant, Pass: vagrant For the mySQL connection on top of it use: Host: localhost, Port: 3306, User: root, Pass: root

use SSH

user: vagrant -> pass: vagrant (do 'sudo -s' if you need root access)

call apache webpage

from your host: call '192.168.5.5' in your browser

What else can I do?

You could change the files to your needs:

• bootstrap.sh: change the password and/or the name of the project folder
• vagrantfile: change the hostname and/or the ip address
• change whatever you want and be so kind and share as well
