Installation

Install and run Vagrant

Install Vagrant and then

$ vagrant up

When Vagrant is done, you could go to http://11.11.11.11 and see php info.

To SSH in to VM, just do

$ vagrant ssh

Default application name is vm-app. Default application path is /var/www/vm-app.

To run your application from host machine in your browser, just add the ServerName (default is vm-app) to your hosts file.

With Ubuntu:

$ sudo vim /etc/hosts
$ ... add new line: 11.11.11.11 vm-app
$ ... save

Then you could run your application on guest VM from host machine using browser: http://vm-app/

Custom VirtualHost and Application

You can overwrite default VirtualHost and application path (as well as DB name and server_email values):

Open Vagrantfile and modify Ruby Hash:

chef.json = {
	"app" => {
		"path" => "/var/www/cool-another-app",
		"server_name" => "cool-another-app",
		"server_email" => "cool@another-app.com",
		"database" => "cool_another_app_db"
	},
	"mysql" => {
		"server_root_password" => "%your_path0%",			
		"server_repl_password" => "%your_path1%",
		"server_debian_password" => "%your_path2%"
	}
}

Git Submodules

$ git submodule update --init --recursive

FYI

Please don't forget that VM uses Shared Folders, so each update of any file in ./www foler will be immediately synced with VM (and vice-versa).
