vagrant-whosonfirst-www-api

This is a vagrant setup for running whosonfirst-www-api locally in an Ubuntu VM. When you finish, you should be able to run a development version of places.mapzen.com from localhost:9876

You will need the following requirements:

• git
• VirtualBox
• Vagrant

Setup

Here's how to clone the repo and setup a new VM.

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/mapzen
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/mapzen
cd /usr/local/mapzen
git clone git@github.com:whosonfirst/vagrant-whosonfirst-www-api.git
cd vagrant-whosonfirst-www-api
make setup

Provision your VM

Then provision and start your VM.

make build

When it finishes you'll get dropped into an SSH session.

Set up the application

cd /usr/local/mapzen/whosonfirst-www-api
make setup

Using a synced folder

If you use a native text editor like Atom, you'll want to set up a folder sync to make it possible to edit files served from the VM on your host machine (i.e., edit on the Mac, run from the Linux VM). Open your Vagrantfile and uncomment this line.

config.vm.synced_folder "/usr/local/mapzen/whosonfirst-www-api", "/usr/local/mapzen/whosonfirst-www-api"

You'll also need to use a separate folder for your templates_c because of how everything inside the folder sync has its file ownership set to vagrant.

Do this from the guest VM. (Use vagrant ssh from /usr/local/mapzen/vagrant-whosonfirst-www-api to login.)

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/mapzen/flamework/templates_c
sudo chown www-data:www-data /usr/local/mapzen/flamework/templates_c

Then add this to your /usr/local/mapzen/whosonfirst-www-api/www/include/config_local.php:

$GLOBALS['cfg']['smarty_compile_dir'] = '/usr/local/mapzen/flamework/templates_c';

Setting the abs_root_url

You may also need to add this to /usr/local/mapzen/whosonfirst-www-api/www/include/config_local.php:

$GLOBALS['cfg']['abs_root_url'] = 'https://localhost:4444';
