Installation issues

• database.yml: database: alm_<%= Rails.env %> should be database: lagotto_<%= Rails.env %>
• node.json: "recipe[apt]"needed before "recipe[lagotto]" or the use of "apt-get install" is likely to fail because apt-get update hasn't happened recently enough.
• node.json: new VM hostname is not actually set on the host. Possibly fixed by: "recipe[hostname]" again, before "recipe[lagotto]" and with appropriate changes to the Cheffile, though I'm not sure yet.
• Instructions (git clone... vagrant up...) need to say that the Vagrantfile needs to be modified for use with AWS (and probably other providers). For AWS the following is what I changed to:

aws.access_key_id = ENV['AWS_KEY_ID']
aws.secret_access_key = ENV['AWS_SECRET_KEY']
aws.keypair_name = ENV['AWS_KEYPAIR_NAME']
override.ssh.private_key_path = ENV['AWS_KEY_PATH']

• Instructions also need to indicate the need to change settings.yml, config.json, development.rb, production.rb et al to suit the need.

Starting with the Lagotto 3.7 release all user-specific configuration options for Rails, as well as for the server configuration and deployment tools Vagrant, Chef and Capistrano are environment variables, and can be stored in a single .env file. An example file is provided (.env.example) and can be used without modifications for a development server. More information regarding ENV variables and .env is available here. The following configuration options need to be set:
